Today for harvest day, our church met outside, by the river. We roasted hotdogs, played frisbee, and celebrated together. It was to be a kind of outreach for the youth, too. It was neat because last week our pastor told everyone that a lot of these kids smoke and swear and we don't need to tell them that they're sinners. We just need to welcome them. This was refreshing, as often the mentality is different.
I thought it was interesting to see what some people brought for the potluck... a bag of potatoes, a bag of onions, a carton of milk... but it all worked nicely together. We just threw the potatoes into the fire and then took them out after awhile to eat.
Last week when we were deciding what to bring, a few people got really riled up and said, "We HAVE to have tea. We can't be out in nature without tea!" I thought it was funny at the time, but today I was thankful to sip something warm.
Leif's friend, Greesha, came today, too. Leif met Greesha when he lived in Ulan Ude eight years ago.
The heat has finally turned on in most rooms of our apartment! It's SO much better. Hooray!
