Then we went to a Wesleyan church where many of our interpreters attend. This is the four or fifth year that we have attended worship at the church. Because we are often there on the first Sunday of the month, we usually are there for communion and we get to split into small groups and pray for one another. Our group of 19 almost doubled the size of the attendance.
Going for lunch at the food court at the local mall was a good experience as Macks, one of the orphanage graduates joined me for lunch. A few other grads joined us as well.
Once at the ministry center, we spent some time talking with grads, and I was able to meet with Fedya and Sasha and their four year old daughter Lize. One of the gifts that she received was a princess dress that she loved.
Chari gave a lesson on parenting. MacKenna, Nathan, Anna and Kate helped her with skits.
We then worked with the kids on issues in relationships with the opposite sex. We began with a brainstorming session on what girls want from guys and guys want from girls. American men began with Russian guys and American women with Russian young ladies, then we switched. It was slow at first, but once the guys got talking, it seemed as if we could go forever.
After that many of us went to a large store called Globus for a buffet dinner.
