A Journey to Remember: Day 6

Sunday! We had a nice relaxing day and started it out with visiting Bubu's church in the second floor of a comfortable little barn. We took a bus ride from the hostel that was about half an hour long, and then walked through the mud and rain to get to the barn. We listened to the Polish people sing Polish songs and attempted to sing them as well, and then we, the English speaking folks, had our turn to lift our voices to God. Pastor Jack Phelps preached the sermon, while Bubu translated, and then we blessed the congregation by singing a few of our evangelizing hymns.

After the service, we had a delicious homecooked lunch of lamb, bread, and fresh fruit. There was also plenty of wine laid out on a table for people to drink. Following lunch, we walked along a beautiful park, took some group shots, and saw a gorgeous mansion. We also met a cool blue beetle which someone named Turtle and some other red and black bugs crawling all over a shire-like door. After an hour of nature walking and taking in the beauty of God's creation, we said our last farewells to Sarah, David, and Eva, Bubu's wife. We are going to miss having them grace us with their company, but alas, they had to return home. After this, we took the bus back to the hostel to prepare dinner.

The boys cooked sausages on grills while a hyper Elyse V. joined our group due to a long plane ride from BC. We ate our dinner, heard about Rebekah U's encounter and debate with an American Mormon, and then had devotions outside, where we had eaten our dinner. Our stomachs were satisfied and our hearts were warm when we all finally left the outdoors to get some "beauty sleep," as Pastor Vanderveen likes to call it.
