We hope we’ve shed abroad the hope of Christ during our stay here in Russia. One thing is for certain—we’ve brought Uno and marshmallows!
One night during English camp, we roasted marshmallows. They don’t have marshmallows in Russia, and so they don’t have a word for it. The kids were fascinated with the word, so that night there were dozens of Russian students wandering around trying out this gooey white roasted burnt sugar stuff, and trying out this weird English word, calling out, “Marsh MAL low. Marsh MAL low.” LOL.
Three hours of English classes is a bit much so we have 10-minute breaks every so often. The students are always clamoring to fill that time with a round of Uno. They LOVE the game. What’s really wild and intense is when you get 10 or 12 people playing with two decks and some crazy new Russian rules!
Russia will never be the same. :oD
