Some more pictures to share:



This is a picture of a street in the city where we did a lot of walking yesterday (Friday). I can't pronounce or say the city's name, so I won't even attempt to tell you here! This city is the home of the doctor where we ate that scrumptious meal. I share this picture because it's a typical street for a bigger city around here.




The gypsies use horse and buggy to get around. Every 20th vehicle it seems is a horse and buggy like this. Okay, maybe not that many. But there are a lot mroe around here than there are in the USA! Maybe soon I'll share pictures of the cows walking down the street...



This cutie is a little girl in the hospital where we visited on Friday. She wasn't sick, but was from the orphanage. I'm not clear on why she was at the hospital. Quite a personality.



This cutie was supposed to be taking a nap at the orphanage. He gave me the sweetest smile. Just wanted to share. There were so many cute kids there, you would be bored if I posted all their pictures.


We had a good day today (Saturday). We spent most of the afternoon with Vova and his wife, Carmen. We went to the castle near Kamyanitsa, and walked for what we think was 6 miles (total). Half of that was uphill to the castle - pretty steep. It was a good walk, and we got some good pictures. The castle was built in the 12th Century, but is mostly piles of rock now. We had a good talk with Vova along the way, and we're making good inroads on how a VIM project works. He asked lots of good questions about Church of the Servant, and seems eager to learn about building a new church. And he "gets it" - what it will take for his church to receive teams, and that how they have to be part of the process. It's quite exciting. I think this may just work out after all.

We will meet their congregation tomorrow, and have more to say after that.

God Bless- thanks for your continued prayers and support.
