Half the trip is over. This is if you don’t count our 2 days worth of vacation at the end.

Woke up this morning a little after 7. I wanted to take a shower, but my clothes weren’t back from being washed yet. So I’ll wait and see if I’ll get them later. I’ve been sweating, but it’s mainly been around my neck, which I’ve been washing. A lot.

For breakfast, I had oatmeal porridge with a bit of yogurt. It was a nice light meal. The oatmeal came in a bath of milk, which I thought would be a little hard on the stomach, so I didn’t drink too much of it.

I did my devos as I waited for Marcia. When she came, she looked a little out of it. She said that she wasn’t feeling well from last night. I gave her her book back and asked her what it meant to be a Christian. We talked about it for a little bit and it was a nice conversation.

Afterwards, Elena came over and asked us what our plans would be for the rest of the week. I really wanted to meet with Larisa and told her that were trying to contact her. Then Kostya came over and asked the same thing.

At 8, Marcia came by. I told her what happened as we waited for Nazira. Marcia gave me a book where she has all her friends and stuff sign. I wrote something really quick, but felt like there was so much more I wanted to say, so I held on to it.

At 9, we left for Iskra.

We met with Larisa. She had little cakes and macerated raspberries and was preparing tea for us. I went inside to shoot some b-roll, but ended up starting the interview inside.
