We're really here

Mark and I are updating from an Internet cafe in Kiev. We're in a historic area just down the street from the cathedral of Saint Sofia. I'd post photos of that beautiful cathedral but we are having technical difficulties. You'll just have to imagine this lovely old street with the beautiful many domed cathedral, the Ukranian women who are all pretty and seem to wear black skirts as a uniform, the men who are all smoking and then me and Mark in our jeans with sleepy faces.
We had a great trip over with no real problems other than the plane was delayed in Frankfurt so the man who was expected to meet us when we disembarked in Kiev wasn't there but Mark and I simply got customer service to help us call our other contact and all was well. We met her right away and she took us to exchange currency, shop for a few groceries and then to our apartment which is spacious and in a great part of the city neat the historic section including cathedrals, Independence Square and the River.

Tomorrow is our big day when we go to the SDA and review files of potential children. Thank you for your prayers.

  3. Yippee!!! You made it! How appropriate that you would be in front of St. Sofia! Tonya called us this morning as soon as she knew you were safe and sound! We were so appreciative. Sounds like the view is wonderful.
    Can't wait to hear after your SDA meeting tomorrow:) You must find the closest internet cafe immediately~
    May God continue to Bless you and keep you safe in His hands.
    We love you,
    Greg and Ann
