Arrival at the church

After our arrival in Sosnoweic, we dropped off our bags at the hotel and went over to the church, where Daniel's wife, Gosia, cooked us a delicious meal. Our students worshipped together in music as we prepared for tomorrow's worship with the youth at the church. We ended the night with conversation and games with Daniel's family, whom we love already. Hannah A made good friends with Jeremiah, Daniel and Gosia's youngest son, over their shared love of superheroes, even though they don't speak the same language.
We are grateful to be on this service learning team, and grateful to sleep tonight in a bed rather than (attempting sleep) on a plane.

When we were done at the churc…
