October 31
Today we got up at 8ish again. We then went down and ate breakfast with bro Milko and packed our bags and left to drive south. We left right after 10. We drove for a while and then stopped at the Canadian war memorial in Groesbeek. So sad!!! Some of those guys were only 18 when they died. Some of them were like 20 and they said on their stone Beloved Husband and Father. Those children of those soldiers wouldn't even have known their fathers. And also, if those guys were that young and married, their wives must have been also quite young. I can't imagine being married at my age let alone married and then having my husband die! Its so sad!! They gave their lives so that I would not have to live in a world ruled by Nazism or a dictator or anything! Even though it is sad, I am thankful for them giving their lives. After we left there, we went into Groesbeek and bought some fruit and then went for lunch at De Wolfsberg. It was good. Then we continued on our way to the camp. When we got there, we went to the bungalow and put our stuff in there and then John and I went out and looked for people. We found the Norwegian young people. So we visited with them for a while and then went back to the bungalow to get ready for church. I did ironing and got dads stuff ready for him. Then I got my stuff ready for church. Then we went to church. We were late so we had to sit in the back. It was really distracting for dad cuz he isn't used to noise and stuff so the translators behind us were really distracting for him. It was kids normal for me tho...... Cuz I usually sit in the back and where there's kids and stuff. Anyways, bro sergay from Moscow preached tonight. It was really good. We left right after service which annoyed me cuz I was hoping to like actually talk to people..... But whatever. Life goes on. When we got back to our bungalow, we just sat around the four of us and ate and talked and laughed. Bro Milko tried to get John to tell him who he liked. Lol. That was interesting. Then I cleaned up and we all went to bed. My room is freezing cold :( cuz my window doesn't shut all the way :(
