Hi Everybody,
We are doing well and so far, no one has heard from Mr Lenin (as in Lenin's revenge)
Today we completed our 2nd day of camp. Wow, what a pleasure. We arrived at 9:45 to hear the children singing with Arkady and friends. Debbie did an awesome job with the lesson, as well as the craft. The small group leaders assisted with the craft, we made bead crosses. The children loved them. I was prepared to run the games, but instead, Valya, Marina, and Arkady headed up that time. hmmmmmmmmmm? maybe I wasn't need after all! smile
Last night, we all went over to Laressa and Hussains for chickin shosleak (bar - B - Q) we went up into the hills overlooking K - town. it was beautiful. the food was very tasty. We even had chocolate cake made by Brad Hansons wife Karen. Brad is the pastor of the local penecostal church. for those of you who remember Daniel, Brad is his father.
Tonight, we are going to have dinner at Veras home. Vera has been one of our co-workers since forever. We only need a small number of interpreters this year, so we are only using Luba, Natasha, and Arkady. Ira is too busy with school. (yes Carla, I did give out all of your letters.
Debbie and I are scheduled to visit with my friend Maxim this afternoon, I look forward to the time with him.
I'll attempt to E-mail on somewhat of a regular basis from here on out. There is a new internet cafe right across the street from the Kolos. ( the building by the bus stop)
For those of you who know Art Swanson, please do me a favor and Drop him an E-mail, encouraging him, it's always nice to hear from back home.
Tom Zimmer, are you hearing that????
til later, pa-ka
