Finished!

Today we finished teaching English for a while... until September when we start doing follow-up classes in Dnepro. This year we will be doing a Bible study in English again.


 On Thursday we finally got back the village. The new radiator was finally put in and we picked up the van late Wednesday afternoon. We had already rented the apartment for Wednesday night because we were supposed to be going on a boat tour on the river with some of the students, so we stayed one more night.




We went out to see some sights with three of the students after class Wednesday, they (well, the brother) drove us to see the new yacht club. As you can see in the photos, a storm rolled into the city. The wind blew like crazy.

They took us closer to where the boat trip would be- this year we were going to take a ride on the "pirate ship". We walked along the embankment for a while but ended up escaping the rain as it started falling by going to a nearby cafe for coffee and tea, and talked for a long time. We discovered that the sister remembered Garry speaking to her English class when she was small, soon after we came to Ukraine. Both of us had our phones turned off, and it turned out people had been trying to phone us. Victor to say the van was ready, and the boat trip had been cancelled because the rain and thunder and lightning continued for a couple hours.

When we drove home Thursday, Garry found lots of stuff that needed fixing, and was excited to find out it was so wet you couldn't walk in the garden or fields. We may not be buying much more water, Garry says the corn is about three weeks from turning into corn silage. There will be some for grain, but it is really wet today.
