These past two weeks have been packed-full with orientation, planning, and learning. Here are a few highlights of what the team has been up to lately:

-A day in the capital city, Warsaw. Here we got our first taste of Polish language and culture and visited a museum about the Polish Uprising.

-Several days getting used to our new home for the summer, Rzeszow (pronounced zhe-shoov). We have experienced several delicious Polish meals (typically some sort of meat, salad, and potatoes), walked around the town square, and spent time with new friends.

-A three day trip to the "cultural capital" of the country, Krakow. We enjoyed the vibrant town square and beautiful architecture and also learned much about Poland's rich history and devout Catholic beliefs. We were able to walk through Wawel Castle and its cathedral, where many of Poland's most important leaders are buried. A difficult day was spent at Auschwitz, the world's largest death camp, in use during the time of the Holocaust.

Overall, the team is busy but well! Amber is doing a wonderful job hosting and helping all of us learn about and experience the culture here in Poland.

Here's a look at the upcoming week:
-Daily Polish lessons
-Spending time with locals and continuing to build relationships
-Involvement in the local church - this week Anthony will be preaching and the the team will be leading worship
-Prayer walks around the city

We are grateful for your support and prayers and thankful for your partnership in this new ministry God has called us to. We look forward to sharing what He continues to do here in Poland!

Z Bogiem (with God),

The Mountain Team
