Psalm 111:10

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.

Thursday at camp in Poland means it's campfire night! Instead of eating a meal in the dining hall or on the deck with all the bees, we get to cook kielbasa (Polish sausage and I have no idea if I spelled it correctly!) over the fire pit. We also get this traditional Polish dish that's pretty much a mixture of all the food from the week. It may not look particularly appetizing, but it's very delicious! Because we have youth camp this week, there will be karaoke later in the evening. Usually the Americans have to come up and make fools of themselves! I think the girls will have to be in bed by that time?!! (smile!)

We got to go into Tomascow today with the group of interns who are serving here at camp this summer. We first stopped at the new church building and got a tour of the renovation. For myself who has seen it the week they purchased the once theater building (2 years ago), to last summer's tour of the renovation to today... it was really amazing. I will get the pictures downloaded and post them on the blog either tonight or sometime tomorrow. Then we enjoyed some coffee, tea, ice cream and Polish desserts at Rafal and Agneiska's flat. He is the preacher for the Tomy Church. It was definitely a treat! Because we were there, we missed lunch at the camp and therefore "had" to go to McDonald's! It is a very nice McDonald's and located near the new church building. The girls were very excited to be there! The gal who traveled over with us and who is staying for a few weeks after us, Elizabeth, turned 29 today. We treated her to a McDonald's Birthday Meal! She was brought up to the stage in worship this morning and had the Polish and English version of Happy Birthday sung to her...now how fun is that?!!

Unfortunately I have to close this up because Lauren is having a melt down and with the thin walls here at the lodge, I don't want to make others bear hearing her! I'll post more later! Have a wonderful day!
