It is day 7 here in Baryshivka. We are adapting, some slower, others faster, but surely nonetheless. Personally, I feel as though I'm in a dream of some sort. It is just so unreal, even though I'm adapting quite quickly.
We arrived here on friday the 8th, and spent 3 days and nights as guests in the house of the local pastor. We moved out, and into our "own" house Monday morning. It really is very nice. Running water, hot water, gas stove, inside and outside bathrooms, a big yard, 3 usable bedrooms; pretty much the whole shabang. It is so nice to live in a house we can call our own.
Very quick rundown on our week, as I am in a hurry. I do not have much time today, but it has been a week, and weekly updates are always good.
Friday and Saturday, we were just getting used to the new surroundings, the people, and the time zone. We're actually still working on that =). Sunday, we went to church service. It was very blessed, and an elderly lady repented and gave her life to the Lord. Praise God. Monday morning we moved into our house, and spent the day settling in. We also watched the soccer game out in a restaurant/cafe. It was a very good and interesting experience. Tuesday, we did a bit of visiting. We visited an elderly lady, and went to a Bible study at another lady's.
Wednesday, we did some more visiting. We visited a member of the church, a lady that had recently had surgery on her broken leg, and then an elderly lady who lives alone. We sang a lot, and just talked to al the ladies. They are such sweet women, it's just impossible not to love them. They may be a lot older than me, but they are just so cute.
Today, Thursday, we will do some more visiting, and we will go see the elderly grandmother. She doesn't have much visitors. I am excited.
I will try to have pictures for the next update. Till then, God Bless!
