Survey Day 2

We got a full breakfast this morning -which is toast, jam, coffee, tea, milk AND CEREAL!  I actually got to have someone join me for breakfast - Travis.  We talked a little about how the highlights of the internship so far.  Some things like getting to know my way around the metro, where the stop is to go to the buses and to take 709 to get to the Krzesinskis.  But we both stated that the done in Old Town Warsaw was the one thing that was very eye opening to us.  The young people either do not believe there is a God or just believe in God because their parents had them go to church.  With the books I have been reading - discipleship is a big part of this ministry.  I have been through some discipleship studies before, but it is really hitting home and trying to figure out how to replicate this experience when I get home.  Robert came to the Hostel, so we did not have to scoot out to the Metro early.  We talked about the survey experience and how we can improve it for today.  Even though the questions were hard for some people, we felt dumbing them down may loose some of the answers we were looking for.  This time we would be asking if they would be open to a Polish discussion group and for their e-mails.  Rachel and the kids brought us lunch and then we headed out to Old Town again.  The guys have an opportunity to go to dinner at a Polish family's home tomorrow and it will be a good opportunity to talk English and learn Polish.  We thought that 3 people verse 6 eople would go over better and who knows, we may have other opportunities to talk with them.  We had some good interaction with some people, but some just did not want to answer our questions or really did not know.  There were some e-mails given that will allow Robert to follow up and go forward.  After surveys were done, we got some ice cream (lody) and walked around Old Town a little bit.  Then we headed to Klub 29 for the band to rehearse.  We had hoped that some people would come by for lessons, but it did not work out that way.  Couple of the guys and I went outside to play catch with the football and then frisbee.  Thanks to my brothers and cousins - I was able to hold my own...and would make them proud!  Still not very good at tossing the frisbee, but something to work at.  I will have a pretty buise tomorrow on my arm...but it only looks like some red spots.  Then Joe was going to take us to a nice inexpensive Polish restaurant...we walked there and it was closed.   So then we opted to go to Pastor Bill's favorite place to dine at when outside the US - Pizza Hut!  They have a Mama Mia family special - large pizza, garlic bread slices and Pepsi.  For the 6 of us, we had 3 specials...and it is a reasonable meal - all go home with full bellies!  Usually we walk back from the Metro, but decided to take the bus - it was a short trip, but it was air conditioned!  We are calling an early night because tomorrow is a holiday in honor of Pope John Paul - if I got it right - he is going to be honored as a Saint - with several parades all over Warsaw and all day long.  So we are going to an early morning one, then taking it easy the rest of the day!
