We Made It!

So here we are, our first day in Kiev. The flight was very nice, there
was no trouble whatsoever. We did get a little worried when we arrived in
Ukraine and there was no one here to get us, but Natasha soon showed up
and we felt safe and sound.

We traveled from the airport in Kiev to the apartment and got settled in.
We took showers and Natasha cooked us some lunch (very good lunch). We
then went to the SDA and made sure our appointment was listed for
tomorrow--and it was. After returning from the SDA, Steph and Natasha
went to the market and I took a nap.

We shared pictures of our family with Natasha. We are very happy to have
her as a facilitator and we have learned to trust in just a short amount
of time.

Our appointment tomorrow is at 1500. Which is 8:00 AM EST.

SO far--things are going great!

First Day Down. We made it through with flying colors, but enough about us! We are all watching your site - but alas, with firewalls and such cannot post from work. Tomorrow will come soon - I hope you are sleeping tonight. We love you & miss you already! God's timing is always the best. Blessings. #3 on your speed dial.

Joe and Steph, glad you made it safely. Are you planning on posting any photos soon? Every time I think of you, I can't get the classic song "the Great Gate of Kiev" by Mussorgsky (from "pictures at an exhibition") out of my head.

God speed my friends!
