Fri, Sept 12 @ 11pm -
We arrived here safe & sound !!! Thank you for your many many prayers thus far. As I type, I lay here in my bed in eager anticipation of laying my head down for the night. Our hotel room for the next two nights is not bad at all . Though we do have a techno club next door and we can hear the music. (I have been told they will not shut down until 3am.) Did not get much sleep on either of the flights. We had a very uneventful trip over which was good. We were met at the airport by Ian, the local pastor, and our translators. They are very excited and eager to get going. We had about a 2hr drive from airport to our first destination - Knauff. We will be here for Sat and Sun. Tomorrow is a very packed day. In the AM, part of the team will be leading leadership/discipleship classes for about 10 pastors in training while the other part travels about 20 min to put on a kids camp for about 75 children. The camp will include a Bible lesson, crafts, and games. We will we meet back up in the afternoon for a session with the children's parents and with the youth. We had dinner at the church tonight and it wasn't bad. Had what I would describe as "country fried steak" Ukrainian style. You can already see God at work as the plans for tomorrow and Sunday come together. Got to talk with Ian on the ride over and he is a very neat guy with a definite heart for those in need. The translators are also going to be fun to work with. I remember this being one of mine and Jen's highlights from our Peru trip.
Much love and Goodnight ,
