This morning it started to rain before breakfast and kept raining as Victor drove us to the left bank of Dnepropetroesk to attend church at Word of Life. The rain stopped just as we arrived there. Bruce, Ed and Garry G were here in 2006 to work on a project at this church and were very excited to see to see Paster Vova and both the changes that have been made there and the things that looked familiar.
The message was about the poor, prayer and fasting. We had tea and cake and talked with a number of people there before heading out to Puzata Hata for lunch, with Trish and Heather Bellamy joining us as we used public transport to head across the river. After lunch I left the group to help with testing for English Institute, Trish helped me find my way by marshuka, then met up with the group at the central market, after they had visited an orthodox church.
Later in the afternoon the team, Verhoogs and Victor's family met up at the mall where we did a little shopping. We headed home after a quick stop at Metro for some cheese for Russ and Karen to take home. Then everyone enjoyed ice cream before bed, along with a news report that looks good for a lack of ash cloud in Germany on Tuesday. Tomorrow will be a day of finishing up in the barn and goodbyes as the team will be leaving here Tuesday morning at 4 am for the drive to the airport in Kiev.
