Stuck in Sahanskoe
Two roads diverged in a yellow field and I, I took the one less traveled by and … unfortunately that made all the difference!
A Word from Naomi
Naomi was kind enough to share with us a little of what she wrote in her diary on Sunday. Below is a picture of Naomi and Noelle standing in front of the opera theater in downtown Odessa on Sunday.
Zhatva in Makarovo
We had a great time yesterday at our first Zhatva (thanksgiving) It rained on Saturday so we weren’t sure what the weather would be like.
Sunday Morning Wedding
This morning we were invited to attend the wedding for our secretary at the CMI. The wedding cerimony took place as part of the morning worship service in their church.
Yuzhne
This morning I snuck out before sunrise and took a walk down to the Black Sea shore in Yuzhne. I was pleasantly suprised by the beauty of God’s creation.
Shamanovka
The village of Shamanovka is about 25 km outside of Odessa. The only way to get there is by driving throught the fields following the dirt path left by tractors and a few cars.
Pandemomium at our local market
Pandemonium broke out just a block from our house in our local market when the market guards began to violently beat people.
Long Sunday, wet walk home
Our Sunday turned out a bit longer than expected today. After the regular service we had a members meeting that lasted about 4 hours.
