I am pleasantly surprised everytime that I come back to Horodok, Ukraine. The people, the fellowship, the smiles, the laughter, but mostly the love. This year, my Ukrainian sister, Laney, and I got honor to teach the intermediate english class together. Our students are so intelligent and they are also the loudest, of course. During group time, the kids seem to be very captivated by the worship music and testimonies of our team, which is very encouraging to us.Today, our class will have a party and I am very excited!

Yesterday, Laney, Jojo, and I were invited into one our students home, her name is Julia. We went expecting to just sip chai and chat, but being in Ukraine, of course a full delicious meal was prepared, along with dessert, and chai. :) I love this cutlture, its so comforting to be here, and i'm not ready to leave Horodok. But, we are all very excited that Jojo gets to stay and work with the children in this city for the next year because he's going to do such great things. The children in Horodok know why we are here, beyond the fact that we come to teach English, we are here to save them. I believe that the extravgent love that we are touching them with every minute that we are here speaks more words then we could ever say, even if we could speak Ukrainian fluently.

Please keep praying for us!

Sincerely, Tanya!
