Another great (but long) day!

We had another great day today! We finally got the ditches dug deep enough:

(Okay- Susan and Betty are squatting- it's not really quite that deep!)

We finally got to start laying down some large rocks:


Some also went for walks around the town, handing out invitations to come to visit the church. We were excited to see some of the children that had been coming to the Bible School- they recognized us and seemed happy to see us. The townspeople were all very nice and we had some interesting conversations. Thanks to our interpreter, Stephan, we even understood part of them! I think Helen and Jennie both have a new boyfriend!

After another interesting VBS, we had some homemade pizza for a snack. We then went to a youth program at Kamyanitsa where we also participated in the program. That was a neat experience. After the program was over (about 9:30 pm) we were treated to some great Ukrainian hospitality at the minister's house. We had hot tea, two types of fresh mushrooms, and chocolates. We were planning to have dinner after the youth program, but after the pizza and all the other treats (plus it was probably 10:30 pm), we decided we could skip it tonight! We all had a really full (but enjoyable) day!
