The Countdown
16 DAYS AND COUNTING!!!
My time in Ukraine is quickly coming to an end, and therefore things have been winding down for the most part. The English classes that I have been teaching have now come to an end. I will truly miss this group of students, as they are wonderful people who are truly committed to learning.
Because things have been winding down, I have had more time to dive deeper into the relationships that I've made, particularly just spending time with the youth at the center. I know that I will miss the people here very much, especially those youth whom I have had the priviledge of building friendships with, and those that work with them. But at the same time it will be wonderful to be back at home, to see friends and family and to begin a new chapter in my life.
Two American work teams have come and gone. It was nice to see different faces fresh from the States, which gave me a reminder of how things will be when I return home. The next American work team coming is from my home church in Duvall, which I am VERY excited about, particularly because my parents are two of the team members!!! Once they arrive, I'll have two weeks with them and then I'll be returning home. For those of you that are interesed in my travel plans I am flying out of Kyiv on July 7th to Frankfurt, Germany where I will have a 20-hour layover. From Frankfurt I fly on to Washington DC, and then on to Seattle, where I will arrive at approximately 7:30PM on Sunday July 8th.
Thank you all so much for your prayers and support!! I very much look forward to seeing you all once again and sharing the adventures of my trip with you first hand!!
Things to be praying about in the next two weeks:
* The events of the Duvall Church work team.
* All of the travel arrangements.
* A peaceful farewell to all of my Ukrainian friends.
