Today I woke up at about 7. But I was sleeping on a trundle bed with Kristina and she was on the pullout part so I didn't want to wake her by climbing over her. So I layed in bed for like an hour and a half till she woke up. Then I got up and had a quick shower. I got all dressed and did my hair and everything and then Kristina told me that we weren't going to be coming back to the house before church so I should go ready for church. So I ironed my skirt and then got dressed for church. Then I ate breakfast. It was really good. We had some pancakes but they were rolled up and stuffed with I think cream cheese or something and then you put sour cream on them. They are so good!! And also, we had little sandwiches with meat and cheese in them. They were good too. Then we just sat around and waited for Leanna to come home so we could go out. She came and got us and then we went to where she works. She is a speech therapist at the best kindergarten in Donetsk. We took a tour of the school and it is pretty cool!! There's like a swimming pool even!! Leanna said there is about 400 children there. They are ages 3-6. It was really cool. After we finished our tour, we got on the bus and went to a park. There we met some other young people. They were all guys. There was John, Eugene (the guy whose house John is staying at), Pasha, and Levon. We walked around the park and went on the Ferris wheel and went in a house of mirrors. And we took lots of pictures. On my camera. Which is why I can't post them till I get home cuz I am blogging from my iPod.... But I will post my pictures when I get home :) after we finished at that park, we went to a park with lots of cool iron statues and sculptures. It was neat. Then we went to a Ukrainian cafeteria for lunch. It was yummy :) then we walked around and saw the football stadium. Which was pretty neat. We once again took a lot of pictures. Then we went to the bank and outside there were people protesting and sticking stickers on people's windshields. About hating their city or something. We walked for a while longer and got on the bus to go to the church. Church was good. Pasha sat between John and I and translated for the song service and after service. But I didn't go back there for the after service cuz I was feeling self conscious and like I was disturbing people. Bro Vladimir introduced me as Ruth... lol. Dad preached on The Inheritance of the Elect. I hate jet lag. I kept falling asleep :( it was so annoying. After service I shook a whole bunch of hands and we were supposed to practice a song but we couldn't so we will tomorrow and then sing tomorrow night or Sunday morning. I found Dad tho and said hi to him. We took a taxi back to the flat. Back at the flat, we ate dinner (borsht and oatmeal) and then had tea and I went to bed.
