We worked for 11 hours today and we all felt great about what was accomplished. We laid the hardwood floor in the sanctuary, worked on sheetrock, painted part of the exterior walls, hung doors, plastered part of the exterior, and other miscellaneous items. We could barely drag ourselves to get pizza down the street.
Faye fixed us a traditional Polish dish of stuffed cabbage and potatoes. I do not understand how Stasiek is so thin, lunch was very good, and we are very grateful for the lunches our polish friends are supplying.
We are going to the concentration camp tomorrow and then to the old town, which was established in 996. They just had their 1000 year anniversary. After that we will go to the church and work late.
We are planning on cooking BBQ for the church Friday night at the new building. Nobody has a grill large enough so we are digging a pit and doing it the old-fashioned way.
A few of us took a detour while on a walk and saw some incredible architecture. Their is a soviet era building, next to a 18th century building, next to a beautiful contemporary. We all consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to be able to travel and help our friends. After a long days work, some of them come and work on the new building...very committed. God is good! Good night all.
