so it is after 2 PM on friday where i am -- it is a little past 6 AM at home...
well, VBS went awesome this week, we had some weird tie ups early in the week -- missing translator, more kids than TOF expected, etc etc etc -- but it is moving very smoothly now and the kids are really enjoying the Bible lessons and crafts...
afternoons have not been rollercoasters lately!! 2 afternoons i stayed at the apartment and did SQUAT and carolyn went to the river for the beach with the translator, the pastor & his family...yesterday we walked and saw some old churches and burial mounds -- very interesting, but i was glad to take the trolley a few places...we went up this huge bell tower and i could not walk the whole thing -- too high for me & i waited part way up...but carolyn & ian & pastor all rang one of the bells, which was funny...
tomorrow (saturday) we are going to a picnic with some other pastors and families and translators, i am hoping there are other TOF volunteers along...then sunday is church and some sightseeing in kiev which will be a nice change of pace! then monday-thursday we are going to try and get the rest of the lessons and crafts in and then a final program on friday -- thursday we also have a group of TOF & ULC people coming to visit, so more americans! yay!! friday we will return to kiev, saturday is shopping in kiev and sunday is fly home! woohoo!!
this has been a long trip so far, and we are just over half done...a lot has gone on here, so i will miss the town & the people, but i will also be uber happy to be HOME!!
more to come later (i hope) from a little internet cafe in chernihiv!
