First Whole Day with the Girls!


(Luda and Friends to the right) Today was our first day to have the girls from 10a-6p. We took the orphanage computer paper because they were low from printing all our documents yesterday.

Then, we all happily packed into one small cab and headed to the outdoor market for fruit and bread. We went back to the apartment for lunch. The girls were excited to eat fresh fruit and even begged to wash dishes!! (alright Helen, you always wanted less chores).

We also decided it was best to move today. This took the help of Dima from CBN Berdyansk, Misha (Nataliya from CBN VaBch's cousin) and two very packed cabs.


We also bagan our English lessons with games and books we brought. The girls were excited to learn. Tonight we enjoyed a wonderful Ukrainian dinner prepared by Luda, Misha's wife. During the exchange in testimonies we kept Larissa, our translator, very busy. She even turned to us at one point and sincerely spoke a long point in Russian before realizing she should have switched back to English.

We miss our children so much at home and can't wait to talk to them. Hopefully they will call us soon! We love you and appreciate the wonderful blessings of being here! Dan and Julie
