кунгур (Kungur)

Our last week outside of the base in Perm was spent in the town of Kungur, a little town about 100 KM south of Perm.

The most glaring (and enjoyable) variant on this trip was we stayed in a hotel as opposed to on a church floor. It was also very central in location so our team had relatively easy access to anything in Kungur.

We didn't spend as much time at the rink as we have in past weeks, we only had 2 0r 3 practices all week. Also there was no goalie for said practices, so I was underworked and overdressed for them. A lot of the practice featured standing around, but I don't mind that too much.

We did however have a few games. Our first was with the young kids, we mixed up with them and so it wasn't really YWAM vs. Russia. The other three games were, and they were pretty good games. We won two of them and tied one. I had to do a fair bit for a couple of the games, and not much in the last one.

We also visited a few schools and like the last time we did, we ended up thrusted into a game of basketball. The result this time around was more of whay we expected, losing by a relatively large margin.

So this was a fun week, we did quite a bit and had plenty o' fun. We stay in Perm for the remainder of our time in Russia for a week of outreach and a quick stint of debriefing as well.
