We had a YSA activity - celebrating Butter Week or Pancake Week - we've heard it called both. It's a Russian end of winter celebration. The neat thing about this activity is that it was completely planned by President Markelov - who, we found out, can cook! - and students. We have been impressed and were taught at the conference that the only way to progress is for the local leaders and students to make it happen. That's frustrating because it's much easier just to do it. I think we are beginning to see the fruits of the foundational efforts of the past months.
Attached is a picture of President Markelov mixing some blini (pancake) batter. Sherry also made a German pancake which is like a sweet Yorkshire Pudding - all made in one pan and baked in the oven. Everything was tasty...seven students and one investigator. Fun night.
