Thankfully we were able to get a little sleep this morning. The buses departed for Gorlitz and we stopped and had lunch on the way. We arrived at Gorlitz around 1.30 PM, then had the best strawberry cake and fruit with the Pastor and his wife. Even Mark helped serve the cake. The pastor gave a brief talk about himself. He told us that his decision to enter the ministry was against his parents' wishes.
We then went on a walking tour of Gorlitz led by the Pastor. While walking, we crossed over a bridge and set foot into Poland. On the way back we stopped in a cathedral and sang "It is Well With My Soul" and several other songs. It was a very moving experience. We had some shopping time, headed back to rehersal, had dinner, and changed for the concert.
The concert was attended by many people--the Burgermeister and some Polish folks. The people were very receptive, seemed to enjoy the songs, clapped along, and liked the prizes. Bob Cline gave his testimony. After the concert we visited with the audience who were very friendly. We loaded the buses, waved goodbye to the Pastor and frau, and headed to Dresden where we arrived after midnight.
