Today we woke up to mama Luba's delicious breakfast. The table was filled with bórsh, russian salad, fresh cucumbers and tomatoes picked off right from her backyard - or as I like to call it, "The Shire" - and with campoté to drink.
We then began to sort out all of our donation bags. A total of nine 50lb bags. These are things we will be giving out at the church to the needy.
During our lunch break we met Lina Fedko's 3 children. Venya, Liera, and Dima. Venya and I clicked quickly and began playing soccer out on the front yard. After showing each other a couple of moves, he noticed the slingshot by the front stairs - from that point on we were slinging rocks at cats for the next 2 hours! We would focus in on where the cats were hiding in the potato field. Sometimes Venya would have to climb on my back to get a better view. My back hurts at how much he was piggy back riding haha. I would have to admit that in those 2 hours of hanging with Venya, I only understood about 3 words. He speaks strictly Ukranian and I, English. But when your hunting cats and choosing the right size rocks in which to hit your target - language does not get in the way of having fun! He eventually found 'Angry Birds' on my phone and let's just say I am lucky to even have battery on my phone to write this blog. The time then came to head out to the evening church service. A beautiful building that sits on a street corner. Once inside I was introduced to so many people. Many of them are used to seeing the missionary team from Miami visit every summer, but of course, every trip brings new faces. I was one of the new faces this year. But they showered is with love and were really excited we were there. The service was great. After buying a few items at a local mart we walked back to mama Luba's where we talked the night away planning for the next day.
