Last Friday evening we had the pleasure of being invited to Alex's new apartment where we had take away pizza. A lot has changed there too in the last 12 months.
On Saturday we had the pleasure of spending most the day down at the Black Sea camp with the families of Peter, Alex and Igor as well as the children from the shelter. The day was a mixture of fun, games and of course plenty of food.
The Sunday morning service at church was focussed on "International Mothers Day" or so we were told and some of the younger children gave a performance. Sunday afternoon we went into Odessa to have a look around the open market and to visit city centre. Sunday evening we were able to go and see an opera called Iolanta by Tchaikovsky. Alex was able to get us discounted tickets but we still had to pay 200 hryvna for all of us ( that's £6:33!!)
Monday evening we were invited to see a musical performance that the children of the shelter had done for their church over Easter. Afterwards we played games with them and had ice cream.
