We have been very busy and traveling a lot! We spent 3 nights in Krakow, Poland. We spent one morning visiting the largest German Nazi concentration camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau. It was an emotional day. It is good for the students and anyone really, to visit these camps and see what happened. It is unimaginable the torture and evil that went on at Auschwitz from 1941-1945. Over 1.5 million people, mostly Jews, were murdered and even more tortured.
The next day we actually got to meet up with another Royal Servants team, the Poland team. We performed with them in Krakow! It was really neat to see them again. We were right next to them at training camp in Wisconsin a few weeks ago.
Thank you for all the prayers and support! Continue to pray for good health for us and our team, good weather and opportunities for us to share the good news!
