Dear Mom and Dad,
 
Greetings from Ukraine.  We have just had a very full day of it.  The sun starts the day at around 4 am.  Plus there are the many roosters that do their one duty in life very well.  The roosters really make you reconsider the story of Peter and his denial.  Which three roosters did he hear?
 
Anyway...We had breakfast at seven and were out of here by eight.  We worked at the Center until about 12:15, pulling nails out of and scraping paint off of the floor in two rooms.  So the floor is ready to be painted, which may be tomorrow's job.
 
After lunch (and showers--cleanliness is, after all, next to godliness) we went back to the Center.  Anastasia, Cydil, and Heather went to Jo's advanced English class.  We had some interesting discussions, and they loved our pictures.  At the end of class Anastasia, through directed discussion from class, was able to present the gospel to some girls.  Meanwhile, in the other discussion group, Andre, one of the better students, made the comment that he was in "deep do-do."  After laughing hysterically, we taught Andre some more idioms, which he thoroughly enjoyed.
 
Joanna and Jennifer went to the Youth Center.  They mixed and mingled with the youth, playing ping-pong, air hockey, and some board games.  They had an enjoyable time.
 
We all caught a bus back at about 6:45.  We finally found one that could squeeze six people, but it was pretty tight.  At one point, half a dozen people got off the bus, but no more room, oddly, was created.
 
So, I'm not sure what the agenda is for tonight, and I think a picture is supposed to go with this.  But...people are getting anxious, for some reason, to email their parents, so I'd better quit.
 
Love,
 
Anastasia, Jennifer, Joanna, Cydil, Heather :)
