At the Half-way point

Today's reading sessions mark the halfway point of our trip! It's going by so quickly. Our readers are learning more and more everyday! I will certainly miss them all when we leave. I now have several students who come everyday to read.  Erin, Kayleigh and myself have had a few readers not show up for their meetings only to call later and apologize and reschedule.People are busy everywhere in the world it seems, not just America. Nathan's readers, on the other hand, have not missed a single session without rescheduling in advance! We had three new people sign up for sessions today as well. Word of mouth is certainly the best form of advertisement.
We have our second party on Thursday and we are hoping for good wether. It has been raining here for the past two days. The Ukrainians love sports so we are having a silly olympics with egg relays, leg-legged races, straw javelins and many other games.
 We are also going to organize a mini-VBS next week for the kids that play in the park near the church. They have been trying to sneak into the building lately to talk with us. They start learning English very early in school here. They seem very eager to practice and to see what these crazy Americans are doing! We plan to teach them some bible songs in English and have a puppet show.
Please continue to pray for our readers and that our mini-VBS goes well.
