2/15/2009 SUNDAY

Sunday morning, after breakfast, we walked to Sasha & Tanya's church about 1 mile away. I found it difficult to walk in dress boots, but Tanya set a quick pace and we made it in a few minutes. A member of the church, Alexai, offered to translate for us during the service, so he sat between us and quietly whispered the translation of the bible verses, and bible study that was

first on the program. This church is Baptist. The church is in a building that was once a movie

theater. The service began at 10:00 a.m. and was over around 12:45 .There is much singing

and reading of bible verses throughout the service.

After church, we walked approx. 1 mile to get a few things at the market. After lunch, we visited
E & D to try on some of the clothes we bought them on Saturday. Tanya went with us and was a big help. There was another family visiting the little boy they are adopting. He is 2 1/2 and likes
to play with D. The boys had quite an "issue" over a play telephone, and when we took D away from the telephone "situation" the tears really flowed. Papa held D and let him cry and cry. We promised him a telephone of his own the next day (Monday) so that set the agenda for Monday morning!
