I admit it. I've been procrastinating about this post since it involves lots of typing and picture posting, but I'm finally doing it!
Ukraine. I went there.
I can't really think of how to begin explaining the impact it had on me. First off, I've never been a part of anything like this. It was beyond amazing. We conducted Vacation Bible School in a total of 4 churches in 4 different cities. There were 2 groups, and each group went to 2 cities. I had the youngest group.
To begin with, I loved those kids. It was so difficult and so tiring but I can not thank God enough for this amazing opportunity to show these kids God's love for them. There were definitely challenges, (definitely) but I wouldn't have it any other way. Let me tell you one thing, I will never take advantage of speaking the same language as someone ever again. It's very very hard to have rules when it takes so long to translate those rules! We told parables, did memory verses, and they did 2 crafts per day which were so cute! You can see one of the crafts in the top picture. In short, it was remarkable. Now here's some pictures of some super cute kiddos.
I'm also so thankful that Hunter and I could experience this together! There is nothing quite like it. And I think it's a little bit torturous to be together nonstop for 2 weeks and then have to be apart for 3 weeks. He's headed to Colorado for vacation and I will be headed to Pennsylvania to meet little Cassidy Quinn! I can't wait for her to be here. But I do miss this cutie, that's for sure!
