This morning everyone was up bright and early for our "day off" in Dnepro. I picked some spinach and lettuce from our garden to make a salad to take along to the Bellamy's for team meeting at noon time. Victor dropped us off at the Central market and after a walk through the meat market, we headed off in groups to hunt for treasures. We successfully regrouped by the entrance at 11 am to meet the van for the drive to the left bank. Some of us were even successful shoppers, finding exactly what we wanted to buy. See what Ed(hat) and Jake(vest) found in the photo.
At Orban and Trish Bellamy's the team got to meet the other missionary family nearby and some of the team reconnected with Marina, that they knew from previous mission trips. We enjoyed praise singing (in English), sharing and a time of lunch and fellowship, before heading off to the art market, where the vendors were very glad we came.
Then we rode the tram down to the central market (again) where the team picked up a few things before walking to Globa Park at 5:30, where we had a wonderful meal with shishleek (think shish-kebob) and checked out the fair-like setting. Jake even rode in a "hamster ball" I will have to get a photo to upload from someone (forgot to take my camera- these photos are thanks to Karen) it's a big inflated ball that you can pay to run around in on top of the water, normally there are kids in them. The team also rode the ferris wheel while I met up with the boys and Trish and Eric Bellamy who had come by marshuka since Seth and Jonah had stayed to hang out and play badminiton with the Bellamy teens. Then we piled into Victor's van for the drive home to the village.
