We are here! We had a really good trip, although no sleep. We didn't sleep. The boys didn't sleep. We were all awake roughly 30 hours or so. Got to Kiev and was met by our facilitator, Zhenia. We got through customs faster than you could blink your eyes! Amazing.
Zhenia brought us to our flat. A nice place in the middle of everything. Not far from the SDA I am told. He took us for a walk to show us where things are and to get us hooked up with phone and internet. The weather is nice. We had a light jacket on. Young people everywhere in Kiev. We took us to a market where we bought a few things for the flat. He left us.
The boys think everything is beautiful and cool. It is fun to see things through their eyes. They say they think Kiev is great, but don't like all the smoking and drinking of alcohol!
We went on our own to......McDonald's. David tried his best to order for us. We didn't get what we wanted, but it was good. We came back to the flat and showered and fell asleep.
This morning (or really it is almost noon), we are going to get with Zhenia again to go over details. I am not sure what else. But the boys want to go see things. Caleb brought a camera and he wants to take pictures.
God is sufficient for me! I am not anxious about anything and know that He is in control. Praise Him! Thank you for all of your prayers.

Good evening to you guys! I am so glad the travel over went well, no sleep, WOW! Miss you guys and I am anxiously awaiting your updates and contact! Can't wait to here all that boys bring back in their memories and pictures! Love you guys!
Hooray!! So sorry you did not get sleep, but so thankful you are there and things went smoothly! I am enjoying your creamer this morning, praying for you through each sip! Have a great time today and tell Caleb to take some beautiful pictures. "You will keep him in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, becasue he trusts in you, Lord." Love you all!
I'm glad you made it OK! When is your SDA appointment? This is so exciting!
If you know how to read Cyrillic, the McDonald's menu items have the same name as here, but spelled phonetically in Cyrillic, 'Big Mac, 'Happy Meal' etc. They do have a limited menu, though. No Quarter Pounders like I like. We did eat the 'Chicken Roll' they have. Cut up breaded chicken patties inside a tortilla. LOL
Just be warned, sometimes the name doesn't fit what we assume. We went to Double Coffee and my husband ordered a 'Cheese Burger'. Well, he got a hamburger bun with a round, breaded piece of cheese, with horseradish sauce! He was so disappointed.
