Back Home

I am back home! I was pretty tired when I rolled in early friday morning. Had a great trip with friends and was so encouraged seeing all that God is doing in the church and through the missionaries in Chernigiv. Chris and Reenie were great having us in their home for a few weeks- Thanks Girls! We were so blessed by their love and hospitality to us. Greatful for the trip and to the Lord for our time there. Thank you to all of you who gave us such a great glimpse into the lives in the Ukraine. Enjoy the pics, there are so many, here are just a few.

Heading Home

We all got back from camping last night and had a lot of fun. It was pretty cold and a experience to say the least... I woke up to Chris putting more covers on me in the middle of the night and then the first thing I was this morning was Karen wearing a beanie that says "Texas" on it. More details later...... We enjoyed a great bonfire, fellowship, borsch for dinner and lunch and over all great time. We are all headed home tomorrow, a early morning and late night. We would all appreciate your prayers as we travel back home. Thank you for all of your love and prayers in our time here. It has been a blessing to be here and are greatful for the time we have had. I will post some pictures tomorrow.

We are laughing our way through Ukraine......

Just a quick update to let you all know that we are doing well and having a great time with Chris and Reenie. The past few days have been full and fun! We have been able to experience a bit of the ministry here too. Visits to the Internaught, kid's club, the church here, mid- week bible study...... It was been amazing to see a part of what God is doing in the lives here and see how God is using Chris, Reenie, Jake and many other missionaries to plant the church and raise up Ukrainians in the church. It was been so fun just spending time with people and having great conversations. Yesterday we went to Kiev and met up with Danny and Liese Foote. We had a great time there, lots of walking, Danny was a great tour guide! We had some great espresso and gelato! I will post more later about our trip. We have laughed so much this trip- man I don't think any of us have laughed this hard in a long time. We even watched a episode of 24, my first 24 experience! Greatful to be here with friends.

Did I really just show you this Picture?

Another Fun Day....

The past few days have been fun seeing the lives of Chris and Reenie. We have also been able to spend good time with or other missionary friends, Jake and Anya Knotts and Connor and Corrin. Yesterday we went over to Connor and Corrin's for lunch and played with the kids, then we headed down to Priluki- it was really sweet to meet everyone there. There is a lot of loving people there and they were really excited to see everyone. I had so sweet conversations with some girls who have really hungry hearts for the Lord. Really i just feel blessed to see what God is doing and how is moving in people's lives here. I have not been able to upload any pictures yet, I will post so pics when I am able too-sorry! Tomorrow we are headed down to Kiev to meet up with Danny and Liese. I will check in with you all later- as for now another day exploring life with Karen, Sherry, Chris and Reenie. Chris says she loves you all too!! Love you all!

In Ukraine

Having a great time here with Chris and Reenie. We walked around a bit yesterday and had a great time with each other. Chris has some girls from the church over last night and we watched movie together. Chernigiv is a really neat city and thankful to see bits of life happening for the people here. So far it has been fun conversations and a great time together. Chris and I are headed to Kiev to pick up Sherry and Karen from the aiport so I will touch base on some more details later. Love ya'all......

Arrived In Munich

Just wanted to check in with you all. I arrived in Munich a little while ago. Had a pretty smooth flight, was not able to sleep much. Almost complete with A Severe Mercy- yes the book made me cry, the lady next to me was looking at me :) It was pretty funny getting on the flight- as I looked around most of the men either looked like my dad or my cousin... I guess the German Schlenker was stronger that I thought. I was pretty much laughing out loud- it was kinda trippy. Thanks for your prayers and thank you Jesus for getting me and providing this far! Might try to curl up on the airport floor, I will see how that goes. And right now I am eyeing a choclate croissant.....
