We Finally Made It

Fortunately the snow held off long enough to allow us to get out of Louisville on Friday. After a stop in Detroit as well as Amsterdam, the team finally arrived in Warsaw at 11 AM local time on Saturday. There is a six hour time difference with Louisville. Make that 5 AM Louisville time.

As one can imagine, everyone was pretty exhausted upon arriving to Poland. That did not stop us. Our hosts picked us up at the airport and took us straight to Old Town Warsaw. When the Germans left Poland near the end of WWII, they nearly destroyed every bit of the city. What was known as the original part of the city has been rebuilt and restored today and is known as Old Town Warsaw.

After touring Old Town, the team went to a local mall and dined at a food court for lunch. We then had a two hour drive from the city to our camp in a town just south of Warsaw.

Everyone appears to be settled in and ready for a good night sleep. Tomorrow we will go to church and then visit the second largest city in Poland. It is a town call Ludz. Most of our work will begin on Monday.

Thanks for all of your prayers. Please keep them coming.
