Good night from Poland




What an early morning for the team! Everyone woke up this morning and was ready to walk out the door at 6:30 AM. After a five hour train ride to Poland, the team established themselves in the church where they will stay for the next two nights. The church is very nice! There are two bedrooms set up for the 10 girls (including Iris). There are little mattresses set up for each girl and Dr. Entwistle has his own room in an office. The pastor’s wife prepared an incredible dinner for the team. The dinner was delicious! Shortly after dinner, the team traveled to the local grocery store, it was HUGE. The team spent nearly two hours looking around. Since tomorrow evening the church is hosting an English Café, the team was asked to prepare some traditional “American” food. Some of the foods that the team will prepare include: macaroni and cheese, tacos, hot dogs, and for dessert they are making ice cream and brownies. Upon leaving the grocery store, the team stopped to try what Dr. Entwistle said would be the “best part of the entire trip.” Lodi –  Polish ice cream!!!  It was fantastic and everyone enjoyed the various flavors!!! The team has commented numerous times on reasonably priced things are using the Polich currency, the złoty (pronounced zwa-tee). For each dollar one receives 3 złoty from the kantor.


 Once the team arrived back at the church, they began unpacking the car full to the top with groceries. After unloading the groceries, some of the girls began to prepare the brownies for tomorrow evening. The pastor invited Dr. Entwistle and a couple of the  girls who wanted to join them to go to his house to hang out and play with his kids. The rest of team sat began to prepare for tomorrow since it will be a big day. The team will be heading to Norwid(Nor-vid) to put on an English fair with the high school English class for perhaps 80 middle school students, then back to the church for the “American Dinner” outreach. Today was a great day and the team is ready for another big, long day tomorrow!


Morgan - for the team

    Retro Bowl- if you are an athlete in the shower and I love American football, then the game just for you. In the game you pixel the quarterback, and you have to prove to the coach that you knowingly put on the pitch. Only a grueling workout and willpower will lead you to the cherished goal. The graphics are done simply, but it does not prevent obsalutno geymlpey. And after 10 minute the tigers and completely forget about it.

11 Maj, 2013 – Bielsk Podlaski

Today we traveled from Białystok to a church in Belsk Podlaski - about 90 minutes south of Białystok - where we assembled 8 Ikea tables and 32 Ikea chairs that were purchased for the church with some of the funds that we raised for our trip.  The tables and chairs will be used for a fellowship hall that was built in an attic space above the church.  After we got done, we were treated to coffee, tea, and fresh punchki, a traditional Polish doughnut, usually filled with a small amount of jam and covered with melted sugar, powdered sugar, or chocolate.  We then arranged the tables and covered them with hundreds of articles of clothing that had been collected by the medical university students to give to those in need.  Afterwards, several families came by and went through the clothing, taking what they could use.  On a dare, Dr. E. tried to slip on a pair of four inch stilettos – let’s just say that his feet and legs were not meant for walking in high heels. When we were done at the churc

Don't Think of the Misery

“For the survivor who chooses to testify, it is clear: his duty is to bear witness for the dead and for the living. He has no right to deprive future generations of a past that belongs to our collective memory. To forget would be not only dangerous but offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.” - Elie Weisel,  Night Today we visited Auschwitz. It is hard to put into words what we felt and experienced. The Holocaust is something we have all learned about in school for a long time, and a couple of us have visited the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. and read memoirs written by survivors.  This experience, however, was much different because instead of learning about something that happened in another country before we were born, it was something that happened on the ground we were standing on. Going into the day, we expected the visit to be emotionally difficult but were surprised at how distant we felt. Even though it was right in front of us, what ha

Day one in Vienna

Greetings from Vienna!  While our friends and family back home are jus t starting their afternoon, many of us have been up for almost 36 hours.  We had a nice visit to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum Annex near the Dulles airport during our long layover yesterday, and then an uneventful eight hour flight to Vienna.  Today, we entered through passport control and started to learn our way around the train and subway system, viewed a few cathedrals, did a bit of shopping, and got settled into our hotel.  Everyone is very tired, but doing well.  Tomorrow, we will visit a museum, attend church at New City Wien, and spend some time discussing how the church wants to use us on Monday.
