After Dinner Saturday 2009/08/08

I promised some pictures from other people's cameras and here they are. The Gibson's with their anniversary cake.




More of "the crew" on the SS. Minnow/Titanic. Ok - the boat at the harbor. This is Natasha, Yuri, Jim and Katie (the latter two part of our team, the former two some of the best volunteers you could ever ask for.). Yuri works days or nights and volunteers at the church as well. He appears to be a fellow geek like me. (Dan writing this) :-) I hope to be able to help them get their computers networked when in the church over the next few days. Electronics here are *expensive* so I'm glad I have so extra parts with me to help in this area.




Jim and Kristie Hoekwater on the bridge "of love" on Friday. Kent and Amy's lock can be seen hanging on the bridge in the photo below. Apparently they're stuck together forever now as the lock won't come off!











And a special request photo for Dawn @ Home. Yes, they were able to sample the pastries at the market. The ice cream and flavored popcorn are also very good.







A short praise! Julie/Eula is one of our translators (high school senior age, I believe). She has attended bible study at the church for a couple of years to learn english but is not yet a believer. She doesn't usually attend the church on Sunday but she's going to attend this week. We all have begun to love her since we met and we are glad she likes us as well. Many of our team will contribute in the service on Sunday. Jim and Amy will give their testimonies and the kids will play. Amy and Steve have a musical part as well. Pray that all (and especially Eula) will see Jesus in our lives and how he means so much to us. After all, without HIM we wouldn't be able to do this! He is the reason for the love we have for people!

Almost time for our end of day meeting. Love to all back in USA!

Personal note: I can see why people get a craving for the strangest of things. I REALLY NEED some LAYS potato chips. lol. Can't wait until I can get some again. At least I have Coca Cola light.

likely more later if the internet is up... Took a walk tonight outside the seminary compound to show some "real life" Ukraine pictures. I will post some of those tomorrow if time allows.
