Good evening! Rather, good afternoon to those of you in America! What a day we've had! It's been threatening rain the last two days but then the clouds go back into their hiding places and the sun comes out. Our verse in chapel this morning was "Blessed are those who endure when they are tested." (James 1:12a) Now I'm not sure how much we're being tested, this is way too much fun! But we are enduring 61 children with more energy and enthusiasm and stamina and smooth skin (ha!). I wish you could hear the music that floats out the church windows, the screams as they play games with the teachers and counselors, or their mouths as they pronounce the 'th' sound in words. I wish you could see them as they do actions with the songs, struggle to write words or paragraphs in the English language, play 'Capture the Turtle,' display acts of kindness to one another and to the adults, or chow down at mealtime. Supper today seemed to be the children's favorite: pancakes. They were the best pancakes I've ever tasted! Good night to all of you. We can feel your prayers as God keeps providing us with all we need to tell His story in Poland. Written by Jean Riley-Schultz
