Poland to Prague Poland is probably our favorite place as of yet. Krakow is an amazing little down that is centered around probably the most amazing cathedral I have ever seen. I think there is something majestic, something even reverent, about having a church that is sort of decked out. That means that the Reformers kind of messed up when they decided that Icons were of the devil and that churches should be as boring as a Michael W Smith concert. If you like MWS, I am sorry to offend. This is just my opinion. We meant some crazy Brazilian guys who were spitting images of Jay and Silent Bob. We hung out with them for a night and enjoyed ourselves. We also spent a day at Auswitch- a Nazi concentration camp where over 1 million Jews were brutally murdered. Words can not explain the experience that I had here. There were moments where I was sick to my stomach. Seeing the barracks, the places were innocent Jews were slaughtered, and the history behind it all was one of the most powerful things I have ever experienced in my long 22 years of life. Being at the camp caused me to think a ton about life and the problem of evil? I am still pondering this question so I don't really have any thoughts as of now to post. It's just crazy that humans can do such horrible things to other human beings, and then think they are justified in doing so. Maybe you have some thoughts on this topic?
From there we took a train and yesterday we arrived in Prague. Prague is a huge place! I mean huge!! I can not believe how big it is. Our hostel is a pretty crazy place as well. There are tons of people here. Phil and I meant a guy from Texas and a guy from LA the other day. We kind of had our little US crew, reminiscing about stuff like In-n-Out and Taco Bell. I was also talking to a girl from Australia about communism and how it would be the best political structure for any country to adopt. Being that I don't know much about communism, I just asked a ton of questions and tried to understand her insanity. Today we will be going the Communist Museum and then tomorrow we are probably going to the Prague Castle. We will be here for about 8 days and then we will head out to Amsterdam to tour the Netherlands for a couple of weeks.
I am doing and feeling pretty good. I still get kind of homesick at times, but I am feeling alright at the moment. I am worrying less and less about money. The worry comes and goes at time, but I quickly get over it. I have also been doing a tone of inner soul thinking...or what ever you want to call it. It's been good for me. I am learning a ton about myself, who I am, and why I do the things I do. I am also learning how to relax and be in the moment more. Pray for this journey. Pray that I can see things clearly and that God reveals stuff to me. Also pray for the usual- peace about finances, provision, houses, and good stories.
I miss you all a ton. I can't believe that it has already been a month! See you all in a few.

PS. I am going to try to post some pictures in a bit so hold on for those
