Today we went in separate directions. Jim, Eric, Don, Matt, Korte, Heather, and Mary worked in the attic (the "hole"). They are topcoating, sealing drywall, priming and painting. They have made good progress.
The next group, Dr. Jim, Evelyn, Ashley, Riana, and Chelsea, paid a visit to the Children's Hospital. They were warmly received, and even were allowed to hold the babies. We're hoping that this will be a new contact that we can visit in future trips.
Steve, Sharon, Rachel, and Leigh Ann went on a home visit. The home visits have been an opportunity to see the way that many of the Russian people live. The hospitality and warmth of our hosts has been very moving.
The remainder of the team were involved in cooking the lunch, more SPAR runs (although we got the number down today), and cleaning the church for this evening's services.
Jim P. will be speaking tonight, and we know the Russians will love him, as they always do. Last night, Jim gave each of the men a multipurpose tool as part of his message about how God uses men as tools. Jim had brought more than enough tools, but several of them had been confiscated going through customs. When it came time to pass out the tools, Jim discovered that he had the exact number of tools needed for each of the men to receive one.
