Two More Days!

We met at Pam's house yesterday for a Polish feast. She made pierogi's! yum yum! Diane made the chocolate treats that of course, we ate first. Didn't you know it was the Polish way???
Then on to the packing of all the extra items we needed to take...pillowcases, stuffing, beads, fleece material, glue, scissors, prizes and much much more. It was tough trying to get everything packed five duffel bags and have them weigh fewer than 50 pounds each. It was like a puzzle. You should have seen Randy using the vacuum and special bags to suck out the air so we could have more room in the bags. We should have taken a picture of him laying down on the job! Pam made a joke that he really had a "sucky" job.
I called United Airlines again to see if they could push through my request of getting the five extra bags on at no charge....no luck yet. The person at the other end of the line either really couldn't help or just chose not to. Don't know which! Pray that when we get to the counter they say yes to us. It sure would save a lot of money for the trip.

I have begun my own packing. What a joke! I have taken things in and out depending on my mood and what the weather is here, like that is what the weather is going to be like in Poland. I am trying not to take too much but somehow I keep adding extra things I REALLY need...or think I need anyway. Que sera sera!

Poland is 7 hours ahead of Chicago (FYI)
Someone from the team will be posting each day once we arrive. So either check back each day or sign up to have the email come right to your account.
Please pray for safe travel for us and that we will be able to at least rest a bit on the plane.
Please also pray for the children who will be arriving at the camp. For many of them, this may be their first time away from home.

The next post will be when we reach our destination in Poland!

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you about Piot (Peter) who is hosting this event. We know he has been working hard on his end to get everything prepared for this mission. We thank him for all he had done not only for the mission, but for our mission together to spread the good news of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

Dobronac, (good night!)
