This morning we had a session on Orthodoxy and Catholicism. It was very interesting to find out what the main religions here believe and how active the people really are in their faith. They believe that if they belong to the church then they have salvation, that God has no active part in their lives, there is no personal relationship. We then had free time for lunch and a bit of a walk. These are the girls, minus Mary Ann and Sarah. It's Hannah, me, Mary, Joanna, and Whitney. Hannah is going to be working with me in Poltava, Mary in a journeywoman and Joanna will be here in Kiev, and Whitney is going to Prague.

We then had a session and brainstormed on ideas of how to teach English. We had to consider different levels of English ability. Then we got to go back home and I got a nap! In the evening we went to a church to help teach English. There were 3 students that came (it was the first week after a break, usually there are more). Our group did not teach because we did not want to scare the kids with so many people. But we are getting ready to go to bed and looking forward to tomorrow.
