Day 7

Today (well actually now it's yesterday) has been awesome! We have done so much and had awesome time to bond with the Poles. Oh and by the way hi, this is Bethany…I finally get to blog. We woke up to breakfast . . . hmm, I wonder what it was? Oh yeah the same as everyday morning and night . . . bread and toppings! Can I just say that most of us would be ok if we never saw another piece of bread.

We got to go to Germany today! It was so fun. We left the church at about 10 and had 4 hours to see Ahlbeck. All of the Americans got stopped and received stamps in their passports (yay for more stamps). We then got to hang out in Germany. It was beautiful! I know it is only 3 km from where we are staying but it feel completely different. It’s so clean and pristine, very touristy, beautiful flowers and great bratwurst.

We got so many chances to just hang out with Polish students today. It is so cool to look around camp and know that I know something about every person here. Whether it was just a two-minute conversation or days of getting to know each other. After Germany we came back to “dinner” (lunch) and then English class. This was our last class and I think everyone had a great week.

We then went to supper and evening program. Rachel and Boris (a Polish student who came to Christ last year) shared their testimonies tonight. It was so encouraging for everyone to hear the reality of God in two very different lives. They did a great job and I think it really touched the Polish students. Tonight was 60’s night and it was so much fun. The Poles put it together this year and we all got dressed up, did the twist, swing-danced to 60’s music and did Karaoke. We are currently hanging out until our late bedtime of 2 am . . .
