Cooking and Crafts: Day 2
11:45 AM | Posted by
TeamUfa
The schedule is similar, yet everyday the Mt. Olivet ladies have new experiences. Today they visited an art studio run by a local believer and were able to purchase a few of his small works as souvenirs. Again, the afternoon was spent preparing for the evenings activities. The also listened to Chris share what he hopes to see happen in Ufa and to discuss a little bit about how their activities fit into the big picture.
This evening the dish was French beef. This was a little more involved than yesterday's mini cheesecake and required the ladies to get a little more hands on in the preparation stage.
Explaining the concept of scrapbooking and showing the women some ideas gave Linda and Gayle a chance to chat with some of them individually. Building relationships is a big part of what we do here in Ufa.

Anya translating for Patti as she shares the story of Mary and Martha while Brenda plays the part of Martha working in the kitchen.
While the Mt. Olivet ladies are sharing their skills with the women from Ufa, they are also letting them know there are more important things than cooking and crafting. The story of Mary and Martha illustrates this very well. It sends the message to the ladies that, yes, preparing meals and taking care of the home is important, but women have a spiritual purpose and spiritual needs. Women have a place in God's kingdom and are important to Him.
The women enjoying the results of their work. They seem pleased, so they must have been quick studies!
For tonight's craft the ladies made a scrapbook page. To a lot of the women, this was a new idea.
Three completed masterpieces.
The ladies seemed a lot more rested today. Keep praying that they will sleep well at night and that the persistent temps in the mid 90's will not drain their energy. Pray that the ingredients which will be used in the various recipes throughout the week will be available when they are needed. It is not always a given that any item one needs will be in the stores.
