Hello from Horodok, Ukraine! Merrie and I were greeted by Bogdon, Sebastian, and Joey at the airport in L'viv after more than a whole day’s worth of air plane rides. We are thankful to have made it here safely with all of our luggage. We had a delicious dinner at Ukrainian missionaries, Olona and Andriy's apartment. They have a beautiful 3 month old baby and his name is Zhar (Zachariah in English), and we also met Olona's little sister Daria, who is very nice. After that we went to the futbol stadium to reunite with friends and play catch with a baseball. Our friends were very excited to see us and made us feel very welcomed! On Saturday the weather was cold and rainy, so we stayed in for most of the day, playing Uno, Mafia, and Science with our friends, and then had a Bible study on the book of Luke. It worked out well because we read in English and then Ukrainian after each verse; so that we could all understand what was being read. We are looking forward for this upcoming week because we will be at an overnight camp for with about 20 kids, and we are praying for good weather! Hikaru will arrive tomorrow morning all the way from Japan, and he will add much comedy to our team. It is clear that Joey and Sebastian have made a great impact here in Horodok after being here for almost a year, and all of the children adore them. They have built strong relationships with these children, and are wonderful examples to them all. I look forward to the next couple of weeks and can’t wait to see what unfolds.
Much love, Tanya!
