Well only a few more days here in Novagard, but don't worry we will be busy 'til the end. Today we have our last kids English club, the kids have ranged in age from about 4 to 12, and have differing English and task abilities, so it's good it's only about an hour and we do crafts too. Today will be shrinky dinks, after mouse finger puppets yesterday, with Canada balloons to take home, so it should be a big finish. They are enjoying singing head, shoulders, knees and toes.
Friday will be the last Ukrainian center day, and Saturday we aren't just packing up the apartment. we're helping pack up the center, with fewer people coming now they are going to roll it into the Polish help center of the church- at the church. They had rented the building here for four months, Garry arrived the beginning of June when 40 families would come (that's times three times a week so 120) but now it's open twice a week and maybe a dozen came on Monday.
We are still getting our five mile walk in everyday, sometimes in the evening instead of the morning though. Yesterday the belt broke on the van as we were driving back from having lunch at Cezary and Andrea's home, so Garry had to drive to a nearby town twice (23 km) with Cezary so it could get fixed.
Sunday we fly to Warsaw in the evening, and there's going to be a potluck after church Sunday to see us off. Then it's off to Budapest for our EEFC Europe mission conference.
Here's a closer look at the Novagard Mayor's house (city hall) and the Catholic church in the square downtown. The church was restored after the war, they have the damaged 1922 bells on display outside. Apparently 60% of the town was destroyed in the war.
and this time next week we'll be heading to the airport for our flights home.
