Today we finished pouring the topping slab for the top flat, removed debris from the next Habitat build project, moved loads of wood from one spot to another to make way for a road, and hauled about two-hundred clay bricks from the ground to an upstairs flat. What a day! I chatted with two high school kids from Krakow that are here for community service hours (can be a part of the curriculum). One of them, a girl that grew up in the Ukraine, enjoyed practicing her English with me. Uh oh; that cannot be good.

After we left the work site (and showered!), the Habitat Gliwice coordinator set up a radio interview with us by a local Christian radio station and a representative from the International affiliate of many Christian radio stations throughout Europe. We were also shown yesterday's local newspaper that had An article titled Habitat for Humanity: Practical Christianity. Wow. How amazing to be able to witness at that level to so many by really doing so little. We were told that people are watching us to see if this serving is shallow like people anticipate it to be or if it is real and substantial.
