Recovering

It's Thursday afternoon in Poland. Sorry we didn't write anything yesterday. Chrissy slept most of the day and Larry was caring for Chrissy while also playing "Mr. Mom" and trying to help out around the camp.

We're happy to report that Chrissy is on the mend. The fever broke on Wednesday and the rest of the symptoms (headache, generally "woosiness" and dizziness) are fading today. David seems just fine too - no evidence of injuries from his fall. So thank you for all your prayers! We think we're finally recovering.

Today we're still filling in the gaps at the camp. We've been mopping floors (Chrissy and Larry), raking leaves and apples (Heather), cleaning out creepy storage closets (Kenji), and unloading 10 tons of donated food (Larry, Kenji and Heather). Not to be outdone, David has done a stellar job of eating, playing and sleeping today. In fact, he's peacefully sleeping right now. (Of course he is! That's the only time we ever blog!)

Tomorrow is our day off and it looks like we'll be able to take a little day trip to Krakow and Auscwitz. We (Soderlunds) went there 2 years ago, but this will be the first time for Heather and Kenji. They are very excited. Well, let me rephrase that. They're as excited as someone can be about visiting a former Nazi torture/death camp. Obviously we want to respect the 1.1 million people who were murdered there and it's a rare opportunity to pay our respects at the actual site.

We really need to take some pictures here at the camp. Sorry we've slacked on the pictures ever since we got back from Real Action. We'll post some soon!

Here's how you can pray/praise right now:

• Praise God that David seems fine after his fall (see Tuesday's blog) and please continue pray that no lasting symptoms arise.
• Praise God that Chrissy is recovering from her fever. Please pray that she is back to 100% by tomorrow.
• Both Kenji and Heather have sore throats today. Please pray for their health, that these sore throats don't lead to any more sickness.
• Pray for the hearts of the campers who will come to next week's English camp. They'll arrive on Sunday and will be ages 7-13. Pray that God prepares their hearts for the truth of the gospel.
• Pray for travel mercies for tomorrow's trip to Krakow. It's a 4 hour drive from Zakosciele.
