Today is Sunday. Happy Fathers Day to all you daddy's out there!
This morning in church our team sang "Mighty to Save" and "I Will Rise". Kimmi played the guitar and did an awesome job. Danny and Brian shared a testimony between songs and did an awesome job as well. One of our translators, Olga, sang a beautiful duet and also read a poem during the service. She did great!
After church we went home to eat lunch and rest. Alyona and the bus came to pick us up so that we could visit a farm. The farm is used to help support an orphanage and shelter. Tolik and his family go to this church and his family works hard on the farm. It was fun walking around looking at the pigs and the baby pigs and chickens. We ate fresh apricots and picked strawberries from the garden. We had a great time fellowshipping with Tolik and Slavik's parents. They are the sweetest people.

We're now at McDonalds (obviously since we're on the internet) and we'll leave soon to go play volley ball with the youth group at the church we went to this morning. After volley ball we will sing and worship together in the youth room. Most of the youth are college age and we had fun doing this with them last year.

Tomorrow we are hoping and praying that we can go to Fontanka to teach the boys who live there. We will sing, tell the Bible stories, do crafts, and play games. The director hasn't agreed to this yet but we are hoping he will. If all goes well, we will finish at Fontanka and go home for lunch. The team will head to Camp Viktoria for the evening. Most likely we will not get to have an organized teaching time. Our plan is to have small groups around the campus and talk and do crafts. I know God will bless this time with the kids and seeds will be planted.

God is good and we know His plans are perfect. We will go where He leads and He will be glorified. God is good....all the time.
