School where we're teaching9:30 - Met with team in flat: Sergey, Luda, and Marina. Reviewed plan for week, shared testimonies, and prayed.
11:00 - Met with students in local school. This was a special group of hockey players that travel internationally, including to the US. See picture below.
Had nice lunch in a modern shopping mall.
Bruce's luggage finally arrived!
5:00 - Left for first day of classes. Split into three teams. Intermediate included Bruce for English, Luda for Bible. Elementary 1 included Dave for English, Natasha (local school English teacher and member of ongoing IP Bible discussion group) as translator, and Marina as Bible discussion leader. Elementary 2 included John for English, Sveta (local school teacher and member of IP church) as translator, and Sergey as Bible discussion leader. The program schedule is one hour of English, one hour of Bible (in this case Proverbs), and another hour of English. The groups were welcoming and engaged. Relationships started well.
We came back to the flat about 9 PM, tired and happy, and enjoyed a good meal prepared by Dave.
