Wow! I can’t believe I only have two weeks left here in Ukraine. Some of my friends are just about to start their mission in Ukraine, and we will finish up at the same time, August 10th. Please pray for the Alexis Baptist Church mission team who will travel tomorrow to Ukraine for their work in Truskavets.
It is hard to believe the week of camp is already halfway over! There were more kids today than yesterday—we thought we may not have enough flip-flops for their craft—but we did! I think today’s blog will be mainly photos that I’ve gotten today, because they are more interesting than reading my words!
I will say that today was a special day—it is Vasya’s father, Ivan’s, birthday today, so we had a dinner with several guests outside. We also celebrated the birthdays of Zhenna, Olya, and Joma, who had birthdays earlier this week. The girls received chocolates and flowers, Ivan received chocolate (and a pair of flip-flops from the Canadian team!) and Joma received a remote-controlled car. He was so happy about it but the batteries we found were not strong enough! So he will get some batteries for it tomorrow.
Another highlight of the night was going upstairs to see the kids’ rooms—they are so nice and the kids were so welcoming of us! OK, time for pictures:
