We got to sleep in this morning and I slept till 10. It was so nice to get some rest. Around noon we left to go to Ira's where she hosts an English club for middle school girls. It took an hour to ride the bus across town and to walk. We had 5 girls come today and they were so incredibly excited to be there. Erin does grammar and English lessons using Bible stories, genius I know! Today we did Jesus feeds 5000. The girls went over some new vocabulary that was used in the story and went over past tenses that were used. They then read the story and translated it into Russian so that Ira could be sure they understood. These girls have not been exposed to scripture before so this is a great opportunity. Tonight the church's young people have several small groups that meet. I had planned to go to one with Hannah but my cold has continued to progress. So I came back to the apartment with Erin to get some rest before our crazy day tomorrow.

Rachel, it was wonderful to see you today! Makes me feel you are not so very far away. Hope you have a good night's rest. We will be praying for your first Sunday there in Poltava. God has prepared the way, so expect great things! Love you Nadia, mom
