Hello Everyone,

Our first day fully immersed in our work in Poland. We have been split up into 2 groups so hoping to hear from those working in Przemysl for tomorrow's post. Here in southern Poland today we helped at the medical clinic, transitioned families entering Poland to our center, shopped for supplies which resulted in some unexpected excitement when we were stopped by Polish Border Patrol to authenticate what we were doing.  The stops help guard against the problem of human trafficking.

We also did laundry, prepared rooms with welcome packages and spent time with the family’s playing games, sharing a lollipop (always a big hit) and just sharing kindness. Google translate was a godsend and that’s how we roll. We are challenged at every corner but a smile and the honest effort to understand bridged the gap. We are enthused and exhausted but fueled by joy … and tonight a treat of a little Polish spirit.

God bless, keep praying.

Fr. Andrew
