Hey it’s Laura!!!!!! So today and yesterday we were on a fourteen hour train ride. From the earlier blog you know that several of the team members got sick on this train trip. For those of us not sick, sleep was almost impossible with train cabins filled with seven or eight people and checking in on those who were sick making sure they had water and easy access to the bathrooms. Most of us got an hour or two of sleep. It was so amazing when the Polish students found out about our sick ones and began praying for them in English as well as Polish in groups with us. An update about everyone, Chad was in bed all day but was able to keep down water and a Gatorade as well as Jen and Mekayla. Jen and Mekayla were up and about between naps and lead the games tonight at camp. Today was our first day of camp and it is nice having a small group of about 50 campers so friendships are forming fast! Once we received our room arrangements (boys on bottom floor and girls in balcony and rooms upstairs) we settled in and went on an outing to the beach! It was so much fun to see the Baltic Sea. The water is cold but the sand is really soft. There we played some volleyball in groups and had a great time doing it. Dan’s talk was really good and I thought it was received well. He spoke about how our stories are very little but are a part of a bigger story, THE STORY. I am so encouraged seeing how the Polish students have received us so far and I am so excited to see what God does in everyone’s heart throughout this week. Love you Mom, Dad, bro’s and family! Thank you for your prayers. I will see you in about a week and I have tons of funny stories to share!

Hey Mekayla,
So sorry you were sick. Hope everyone is better now. I'm praying Col.1:9-12 for you all. Can't wait to hear about all our Lord it doing through you and the team. We love you and miss you. Email us if you can before Wednesday. Love, Mom
