dinner and a concert

Jerry, Mikhailo, Barb and Parker...

everyone staying dry under their umbrellas

We are still trying to learn the Ukrainian language. I have to say, I am such a lazy learner. I find that it is just too easy to speak Russian rather than doing the painful thing... humbling myself and speaking slowly and simply in basic Ukrainian. But, all that said, we are still studying, slowly but surely...

It is summer, everything is a little more relaxed. Yesterday we had our Ukrainian teacher over to our place for dinner and then on to an outdoor concert. We had just been to his place on Wednesday for a language lesson and Ukrainian meal. He is such a nice man. We feel that God has brought him into our life for a reason. His name is Mikhailo (Michael). Please remember him.

We invited another new friend to come along with us. We got to the park, ready for the concert to start and after just a few minutes, it began to get dark and soon it began to rain. Everyone simultaneously got their umbrellas out and the concert continued as it rained. The music continued until it began to rain too hard.
We look forward to the next concert. Mikhailo promised to come again. All the same we will continue our language learning and relationship building.
