Time sure is going fast!

Dear Family and friends:

Sunday night we went back to church in the evening to attend the youth service. It was very well attended. We enjoyed listening to the singing, watching the skits and games and listening to the message.

Yesterday we all went to the center of town to do a little shopping and then Rich and I headed back to Brenna's Home for a few hours. We bought 2 CD Rom's for the children there to help them with their English. All 4 of them were very interested in them and had fun too. By the time we left, even little Yulia was saying some words to us in English. We also bought another Ukrainian/ English dictionary to leave at Brenna's Home because Halla is very interested in working on her English and just loved the one we had.

Today we went to Tabitha again. Ron did another object lesson and Karen did a craft with the children. Rich and I were also able to attended an English Class with Halla. It was very interesting! We got to interview several of the children and they asked many questions in English. Rich also got up in front of the class and spoke to them about America. It was a great experience for us. Halla was a little nervous at first about us going to class with her but afterwards, said she was so happy we went!

After the craft and lesson, we went to Patrick's apartment. We wanted to see his mother and new baby sister. She is 7 months old and the youngest of 7 children they have! We brought them several items of clothes and blankets.

Next, we spent a couple of hours at Brenna's home playing with the children.

Dinner tonight was at the Castle. Ron treated all of us and Pastor Victor and his family to a nice meal there. We only have two full days left and we head home on Friday! Time sure is going fast! Tomorrow we are having a pizza party at Brenna's home and then there is a youth service/Valentine's party at the church in the evening. Thursday, we will do another lesson and craft at Tabitha.

Thanks to all who have sent comments to the Blog! We really appreciate it!

Love and blessings, Donna
