New Friends

    Okay, so after 3 weeks of really heavy posts I thought I’d lighten the mood and share some funny stuff.  As I have mentioned in previous posts, Holly and I went to Poland as part of missions trip through our church.  A team from our church and a team from a church we partner with in Poland joined up to do a vacation Bible school type camp for a little over 50 Polish children.  We all had an absolute blast and formed what I hope will be long friendships.

    This week’s picture of the week is of some of my new friends from Poland; Bartek, Agatka, and Nico (left to right).  One night after we had finished up with our camp I got the chance to just go bum around at the waterfront in Szczecin with these guys and it was super cool.  Holly and I certainly got to know Poland better than any place we’ve ever visited and as I mentioned, actually go to know people there.  It was a radically different experience then we’d ever had… one that has made a lasting impression on us for sure.  It was amazing to me how quickly we formed friendships while we were there; we truly feel like we have a Polish family now.
