It has snowed heavily all day today! This morning the four of us girls went to Transformation church with Darrel. This morning also marks the first time I fell from the ice. And when I do something I do it well, I put on quite a show! Luckily I am fine and I know it won't be the last time. Service here lasts for a good 2 hours and the church does not have in-door heating. Almost everything was in Ukrainian in the service except for a few songs that were in Russian. The pastor of the church was not there so we had a guest speaker. It happened to be a man from Poltava and it turned out to the first person I heard preach when I was in Poltava. Isn't God funny! I could not recall a name but I certainly recognized him. I was able to follow along with the Bible verses and God showed me my own sermon. It is amazing how I can sit in a 2 hour service not understanding anything anyone is saying and come out filled by God's word! We then went out to eat and I tried some new food, I had a piece of cake that tasted like BBQ. I have no clue how you cook a cake and it turn out like BBQ! And yes Erica it was disgusting!!! I was then dropped off near my apartment and went back and got some rest. This evening we all went to a small plant church that met in a library. It was made up mostly of Americans that are missionaries so we had someone to translate. We then all decided to go to McDonald's for supper. On the way back on the metro we all made such a scene being loud Americans. But it was so nice to be able to goof off with each other and laugh!
