From Kiev

Hey all!
This will be my last post while in the Ukraine. We spent the day in Kiev doing some tourist things and tonight we had a really nice dinner and now we room to ourselves (two to a room). After dinner we all talked about the trip for a little over an hour. It was really cool to hear what others in our group experienced while here in the Ukraine. Jon, or leader, had given us some blue sheets of paper before the trip and we wrote down our expectations for the trip. Tonight we read them aloud and said whether our expectations had been met or not. My expectations were that the trip would be an incredible way to help the kids and reach out to their families, that our team would grow into a "family" and that I would be humbled in a way I have never been before. I am very proud so say that each one of my expectations were met above and beyond what I ever imagined!

The trip has been an awesome experience and the memories and impact will last a lifetime. Thanks again to all of you who have supported me and have been praying for me. I love you all!!!
