Hotel Cal-Ukraine- You can check out but you can never leave

Still waiting. We moved into a smaller apartment, friends of Svetlanas from church who are letting us stay in the apartment next to them, we think it belongs to their brother but are not quite sure. Keep in mind that while we have experienced amazing hospitality it is additionally amazing as no one speaks English. They just love on us, take care of us and help us at every turn but we rarely say more then 3 words to each other as we speak different languages.

Take today for example- we needed to hook up our modem but did not know were to have money put on the card. We showed the paperwork to our hosts and he said he would drive us. When it was time to leave turns out his car was in the shop so we took a taxi which he paid for. Then he helped us get our modem set up and then flagged another cab to take us to the school, upon arriving at the school we tried to pay the cab and again our host refused.

Sunday we celebrate Easter here. Our church family is planning on picking us up and the boys up from the Internate and is having church by the river followed by a BBQ and picnic. The boys are looking forward to it except for Kevin who does not like social activities ( or church ) but will come as he wants to stay in touch with us at all times even if he doesn't like the activities we plan.

  1. We continue to pray that you will "Check-out" soon. Jim convinced that God is an "On-time" God, as I noted in my 12/27 blog. We don't know why yours is taking so long, but He does. When it's all over, maybe you'll be able to look back and undersatnd - maybe you won't. Once those boys are home, it all won't matter that much. God's Blesings and a big measure of patience as you wait. The Maggi 5
