Our team is leaving Thursday for Ukraine. We have been meeting together the last few days so that we can go over the lessons, skits, crafts, schedules, and all the details of the trips. We love our times of prayer and worship when we get together.
We have been packing our crafts and supplies and are almost completely ready to go. The international flights to Europe have changed their rules and now we have to pay for our 2nd 50 pound bags. This is an added cost, which is a real bummer, but God has provided the funds through His faithful servants, and we are able to take the extra luggage that we need to take all the things we need. We are also taking clothes that have been donated so we can leave them with the kids.
We have had another day of Russian lessons, animal balloon making, and packing. We have done all that we can do except what we need to do in our own homes (LAUNDRY AND PACK!!!).
Our hearts are ready and we pray their hearts are ready too.
Thursday morning, we will meet at the school and load everything into the school bus and head out to the airport. We will be in Ukraine on Friday. I already heard from my 20 year old friend Artyr that he will meet us at the airport just because he is excited to see us. He grew up in the orphanage and I have known him for 5 years. That seems impossible! I can't wait to see him!
We would like to thank those of you who have been keeping us in your prayers and thank those of you who supported our team financially. Without your support, this trip would not be possible.
May God pour His blessings on you in a special way for being faithful to His call.
