We mostly spent the meal on small talk, but afterward quickly transitioned to Biblical subjects.&nbsp; The main points were the inerrancy and depth of scripture, the role of women in the Bible, and the need to push beyond comfort zones in the quest for truth.&nbsp; It seemed to be a very productive discussion and one I hope to follow up on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Wednesday, we visited the school again.&nbsp; This time we worked with the English teacher and her class curriculum.&nbsp; When she finished her lessons, we would work on some English with the students. Most of the exercises we did were role-playing where they got a chance to practice some scenarios in English.&nbsp; Christina was especially helpful at walking them through each scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also noticed them using the blood pressure cuff we brought them yesterday.&nbsp; They expressed gratitude for our visit and asked us to return. A few students and teachers also asked about Doug.&nbsp; I explained the situation and they said they would pray for him and his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that, we returned to Bogdon&#8217;s house and talked Bible as we enjoyed a meal. It was also her grandson&#8217;s birthday, so we celebrated with cake and several local delicacies. Afterward, Christina, Bogdon, and I retired to the lodge to work out a strategy we hope will work and will result in some of the kids and parents visiting the lodge for a Bible Study tonight.\u00a0 Pray it all goes well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Caleb Colquitt<br><em>Zelena, Ukraine<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While in Ukraine, Caleb posted the video below on Facebook as part of his normal podcast he does for &#8220;Tactics&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fb-video\" data-allowfullscreen=\"true\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tacticsradio\/videos\/915641539375081\/\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block;\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The past two days have been busy in the village of Zelena.
