Camp Day 2 from Pete Gangl

Cześć from Skoczow! It’s Sunday night and we had a fantastic day. Our team got up this morning and went to church with our Polish teammates. I think it’s kind of cool that our friends in Poland go to church in a community center just like we used to, but they have a disco ball. The Polish people were all so nice and came up to welcome us to their church. The worship was so beautiful to me being sung in two languages at one time. After Church we went to the square in Skoczow and had ice cream. It was super good and a lot of fun.

Camp started a bit late today since we had church and we pretty much ate lunch then went right into English lessons. We had our first day of workshops which consisted of sports, archery, and zentangle……Deb your not supposed to talk during zentangle! After workshops we had our evening program. Lilli and Emily did an excellent job with the ice breaker and we played a fun game which was basically a rock, paper, scissors tournament. Paulette as usual wowed us with her super positive hilarious team color points update. Kon and Emily both shared a story around faith and then Kon, Kris, Emily, Maciek, and Michał led us in some awesome worship. Abby preached on the paralyzed man at pool at Bethesda and how if we have faith Jesus can heal our body and most importantly our souls. The Polish team met with their small groups with the campers while we prayed. The Polish youth group has so much love for Jesus and it’s such an honor to be a part of it. That pretty much wrapped up the day at camp.

On our way back from camp we made our typical stop at the Tesco (I think we have now tried every kind of Polish chip) and Carl bought another backpack full of Lion bars. We had a wonderful spaghetti dinner prepared for us by the great people from the Polish church. We then met to review each aspect of our day at camp with our Polish teammates. Until tomorrow dzien dobry!
