Well- we made it! All four of us and all 10 of our bags (which, by the way, we didn't have to pay for the two extra ones!!!) made it to Warsaw this afternoon. We were greeted by our dear friends (and the overseers of the ministry) Maui and Ewa Dwualt. We piled all our luggage (another miracle!) into the two cars and they sent us straight on down to camp about an hour away with one of the cars. They led us out of Warsaw and we stopped at a McDonalds (they are coming later with other groups coming in from the states). I attempted to order two chocolate icecream cones (ended up going with a chocolate McFlurry to save me the embarrassment of botching up the order with my severely limited Polish!) and one Big Mac. I typically "hold the cheese", but I, again, didn't bother to try. So, once back in the car, I decided I needed to look up cheese (no is "nie") and ice cream in attempts of some day trying to order the way I want/need to! So- driving by ourselves in Poland... check. attempting to order food in Polish... check (I "attempted" at least!). I think that's a pretty good start!
Camp is as beautiful as it's always been. I will try and post a picture of it tomorrow. Saturdays are "lull" days between their camps. There is a group of about 20 Lithuanian high school students that came for last week's camp and are staying through next week. I got to meet some of them this afternoon and I just love hearing my girls say, "There are so many languages spoken here right now!".
Girls did great on the planes and slept the 6 hour lay over in Copenhagen's airport. I wish I could say I did as well, but Josh and I took turns staying awake to make sure no one attempting to run off with our carryon items! I think we are all going to be happy to sleep in beds tonight! Speaking of beds, we have been given the same room we had 4 years ago and it's been remodeled! We somehow got the best room in the inn because there are three beds and AC! The AC alone makes it the best.... because it's HOT during the day! As soon as the sun went down, the mosquitos came out... and guess what I didn't end up packing in one of those 10 pieces of luggage? Yep, repellant. I'm sure we'll find someone who has brought some along!
Well, I'm going to close up because Josh is outside learning how to help teach and
