English Club

     Since Tuesdays are typically English club, and today was Tuesday, it wasn't.  The moral of the story, be flexible. Clear as mud? Good.
     Tuesday night wasn't an official meeting although we did have 5 people show up. Two were definitely college-age and the others were between 20 and 45. Tuesdays are normally an evening for a bigger group but since the two main leaders weren't able to attend, things were changed around. David Purvis and several of the members of Big City church try to have meetings with students from English club who are showing interest in the church. The idea is to have a more direct discipleship opportunity. I was invited yesterday to be part of the group. But since plans had changed, it wasn't what I expected.
     The 5 who showed up were expecting (I think) English lessons. Many people see the advertisements online and on social media. But since this night wasn't normal, we just played a few games and did some basic instruction. We didn't have a structure for the evening. I was there to back up Yuri (from the airport pick up) and provide some English explanation. Mainly, I was just there to provide examples and answer questions. The important part of the evening was to get the Ukrainians to practice the English knowledge they have and help begin to hone their conversation skills.
     I'll be able to give a better explanation once we get back to the regular schedule. That probably won't be until the middle of August after David gets back. For now, until camp starts, it'll just be some simple updates about what's happening here.
