Happy Birthday Paul!
9:32 AM | Posted by
TeamUfa
The first day was not without a surprise in Ufa. Paul got a surprise birthday party at lunch, complete with cake and the Happy Birthday song in English and Russian. Everyone ate lunch at the Carr's apartment after church and we had a great time of fellowship and getting to know each other.
Here is Paul getting 'Happy Birthday' sung to him in Russian.
...and with his layered jello dish that Nikki (standing behind him) made
Being able to celebrate Paul's birthday with him added to the fun and excitement of the day. After a good lunch that Eileen prepared we all sat in the living room to discuss the weeks activities. Everyone is excited about the agenda. Tomorrow the team will go to the northern part of Ufa called Chernikovka. The main mosque in town is located there as well as Victory Park, complete with WWII era tanks and guns and a WWII museum. Then they will eat lunch with a local church planter. This man they are meeting with is a strategic partner of TeamUfa and is doing a great work here. They may do some prayer walking as well.
After this afternoon's meeting the four from Centerville started to hit what is known as 'the wall'. This is where you just can't stay awake any longer. So, they went back to the hotel in the afternoon for some rest. Pray that God will grant them restful sleep tonight. Also, pray for the lunch meeting with the local church planter and don't forget to check back tomorrow to see how everything went!
