A YWAM Signature...

...The 'change in plans'.

We woke up this morning to find out that we in fact weren't going to Zakamsk today in fact, but tomorrow instead. So we did some stuff around here today.

First we had a run, since we hadn't done anything active for a few days. It also unofficially let everyone know there's a group of foreigners in the neighborhood, because a) there normally isn't a giant group of people running around and b) local people run in the evenings, therefore we must be foreigners. So because of that a group of kids stopped by the base a few times to find out why we were there.

After we came in it was about lunch time so we ate, took a few minutes break, and took a trip to the local outdoor rink to play shinny (Pick-up hockey) with some people from around there. I couldn't put on my gear so in my opinion, I was pretty much useless for the time. But it was still fun despite my out-of-placeness.

Then we came back to the base, had stuff to eat, and will be involved in a prayer meeting later on tonight.

До свидания!
