So the past week went back to normal classes. Although we added a new class and a new University. We now teach an English Club on Wednesday at the Teacher's University which until now has been very hard to get into. Hannah and I have been running around Poltava with Andrei trying to get registered before April 11 or we become illegal aliens! In English Club on Wednesday we had 11 people there, 7 guys were named Sasha (Alexander)! Thursday evening I went with Hannah, Nastya, and Pushkin to a dorm to visit with the students. We spent most of our time with two young guys, one who has been coming to many of the church activities. The weekend went well and I was able to get some rest.

This week is a short week for us because we are going to Dniper for our Easter. Ukrainians celebrate Easter on the weekend of the 19th. Last night Hannah and I went out with Nastya. We thought we would be meeting up with a few of her friends. Try 17 friends, most from the church. We all went out for pizza and had a great time. While we were waiting for our pizza we played the game mafia, which Hannah and I found ironic since they really do have mafia here! It was amazing to be able to just hang out and not have to teach English and to be with other believers. Tonight we had dinner with Rodic and his family. Rodic and Sophia have two daughters, Vlada and Eve, both under the age of two! We had a great time looking at photos, singing, playing with Eve, and just spending time together. They are a young couple and Rodic works a lot with the youth at the church. Tomorrow we are going to try and finish registering, well for the most part anyway. They will have to take our passports for a bit. That part makes me nervous! They had Erin's for 2 months and we only have a little over a month before we leave. Which Rodic told us tonight how thankful he was to us for coming to Poltava and I thought I was going to cry. Rodic's English is ok and for him to say all that he did and struggle through the English meant so much. I can already tell that I am NOT going to want to go home.
