... for the salt? Maybe, but not simple cookery, and one that is mentioned in the Scriptures to be "salt of the earth".

So hot Sunday morning, the first day of August, a small group of DESM-workers stepped off the train at the Crimean land. What awaits us here? Besides the fact that we participate in conferences and ekskursiyahi I still do not know anything.

and the first tour began in Simferopol. Tired and exhausted after moving guys only dream about a cold shower, but our manager Pasha has some other plans. Getting to travel the streets of the town, looking deserted streets. But here's a small park. And what is it? Most alley, and along it on both sides of the bench - the real works of art in wrought iron (forged even urns and decorated!) I was reminded of metal doors outpost, which we found to our church in Kiev - is strongly and forever. All slowly began to wake up to new experiences.

And it's not all the wonders that await us. Going further and looking around the theater, the church, we were outside the mosque and were pleasantly surprised when we offered to enter into the middle. We seem to have got a fairy palace, because in the middle was very nice. Imam told us about the veracity of his faith, that our activists have reacted quite actively. The conversation took place in the form of discussion is very informative. So all in peace and quiet.

we lived in the house of a hospitable Ani, which annually receives a large number of Christians in a. Corner Bakhchsarai area. Conference conducted, we are very informative and interesting. After all, we young people and received answers to those questions that have long been interested in them. Organizers Pasha, Julia and Olya were well prepared and they told us is available on the content of important topics of the PSD, the relationship between a man and a woman, the moral norms of contraception. After all, live communication is much more memorable than the "dry" nachitka.

We moved closer so for all these days, considering a joy to talk to each other. The most beautiful was the relationship of the kitchen. After all, we prepared ourselves for the queue, and preparing delicious. The boys helped the girls and some guys even have the best skills in the kitchen than a single girl. The main thing that prepared the fun and friendship.

most impressed excursion to Bakhchisarai. This is a fantastic city, once in that, just lose all sense of time and want to forget everything and just look at this ancient beauty. The picturesque nature has left a great impression in our hearts, and the mountain Calais charmed forever. Quite a strange mountain architecture - built in the mountain house, monks' cells, utility rooms. Caught in Bakhchisarai can not help thinking about the movie Roxolans, and feel themselves involved in historical events. This is particularly felt in the Khan's Palace, the atmosphere is transferred us to the last century, and gave an understanding that craft evolved then no worse than today.

Every day, we visited Mass, which was carried out for us fathers, who lived in a nearby house, for which we were very grateful. Because there is nothing that fills the Christian joy, as part of the Holy Evhristii. At a Sunday service, we went to the famous city of Yalta. A small temple is under the protection of exotic trees, protected from the scorching sun on all sides. Fathers Dominicans exercised Mass in Russian, that we are a little embarrassed for long, and afterwards we were arranged and well enough to echo all in Ukrainian.

warm memories fill the heart at the mention of the Crimean warm, tender sea, clean sand, and how a priest with Dovbysh maintain cleanliness on the beach with his youth, collecting garbage out there. If there were more conscious of these people, rest would be much nicer and better. So thank sincerely for such work.

retreat - this time, the knowledge of God, others and himself. I think that this retreat left a mark not only in my life, but everyone present to them. Each drew conclusions for themselves about how to live, should take care of yourself and your heart.

Finally I want to say that DESM - a movement to present the Christian youth, who is aware of the responsibility before God for their lives. And only the youth who wants to know can find answers to painful questions in just DESM. We are very fortunate that we have the opportunity to belong to a movement of pure Hearts, because thanks to him we can communicate with like-minded people and do not be afraid that we will judge who is hurt.
