Today was a long day and resulted in a headache. We had service today from 1-3, family time from 3-4, and youth meeting from 6-8. The church had the Lord's Supper this morning and unlike in America they use real wine in those cups. The headache resulted from good intentions. The girls that we have become close to always want to help us and translate for us. But in church we all feel that it is a big distraction. We do not mind it when they translate the main points but they like translate every word. So I had Nastaya translating for me and Ira was translating for Erin and then Maya joined us and translated for Hannah! I had Nastaya in one ear and I could hear Maya in the other and then the pastor speaking quite loudly right in front of me. So my head had trouble figuring out what to listen to and it just resulted in a large headache. So we left family time early. Youth meeting this evening went really well, the Americans even joined in on the game! Tomorrow we are going to meet with the directors of Maya's college so please pray that we have an opportunity to get into this school.
