Tuesday update

It's tuesday night and the Ukraine mission team is on the bus on their way home away from home. Carol just sent me a text from the bus, giving us an update from their day:

Great day today! Fontanka and Victoria both went well. There was time to do the skits as well as the crafts and the games. Each day we remember more names and build closer relationships.

Many of the children were waiting at the Camp Viktoria gate when we arrived and they cheered when they saw us! So sweet!

This evening, we went to a church that some of our translator's are members of. This is the same church that we have been blessed to take the orphans to in the past. If you go to older posts on the blog, you can see pictures and video of parts of the services there. It's a beautiful sound hearing praise songs being lifted up to our Savior in both Russian and English. Tonight we had a great time of worship and a great message. Everything is in dual language so we can understand all.

For dinner, we went to the mall for pizza and then had icecream for dessert. Two scoops for less than one dollar :)

As I am texting this, we are in the bus listening to the Euro Cup Ukraine vs England game. Yes, our translators are still translating because it is in Russian of course and we are cheering Ukraine on with our translators! More of that cultural experience!

Tomorrow will be our last day with many of the kids at Viktoria because their camp session will be over. therefore we will be presenting the Gospel and we would really appreciate your prayers. These children are not orphans but they go to summer camp at the same place the orphans stay for the summer.

Carol sent two pictures from the church service. I'm also adding pictures that I "borrowed" from Erin's Facebook. They are precious pictures. I looked around Facebook and didn't see any others, but if you parents have some pictures, you can e-mail them to me and I would be glad to add them to the blog.
They look happy and healthy :)
