We've had another full day today. We started out by meeting the pastors of the three churches (you can imagine what's that like - plus add in the need for translation!). It ended up being a good meeting. We have a good feeling so far, but there's still some work to be done to build trust.

i want to add some pictures to this, because I took some great ones of the kids at the church's soup kitchen tonight. But for some reason the 'post picture' button is gone!

But the kids were fun to be with. The church here in Uzhhorod is the biggest of the 3 were here to see, and they have a lot of outreach ministries for the community. One is for the local street kids - either the kids that are literally homeless or their parents send them out to beg. The church is really loving on them and may be giving them the only meal they get a day.

Kids are the same everywhere. You take one picture, and they all want to have their pictures taken. Very cute. and of course the boys and some of the girls put two fingers behind the heads of their friends that are next to them. How do they all know that trick??

We also walked around the town today. It's a neat place - just a typical European town.

There's lots more to tell, but that's all for now. Karen and Stan hopefully will post soon, and I'll figure out how to add pictures again.
