Work. Please.

Sunday, my fellow trainee Sam and I went to Kyiv-Pechersk National Historical and Cultural Preserve, which is an enormous compound with structures from the 14th to the 19th centuries. People visit any number of churches on the grounds in part to see and pray towards icons. THere are also a number of caves below that contain the remains of I'd say dozens, if not hundreds fo saints and important church figures from several centuries ago. Sam and I agreed that the visit provoked an awesome feeling, but will probably prove more meaningful in time as we better understand the role of faith.

Link Visits

Our cluster (6 trainees in our town) is linked with a neighboring cluster for some of training sessions. We visit each other often and discuss the differences of our experiences. From what I can tell, us trainees in the town are quite jealous fo our link, who live in a village, because of the little absurdities that come about in a small community. I took some pictures last Saturday of some of the main attractions.

I have no idea what the purpose of this is.
