Our fourth Sunday in Kyiv. It was cold and blustery with "off and on" percipitaion of all varieties (rain, ice pellets, snow). After breakfast and Lucas's school time, Jeanne and I basically had church in our apartment...and it was in English! :-)' Devotions, prayer and thanking God for who He is and all He's done for us.
Lucas and I headed to the orphanage today while Jeanne stayed back to catch up on work and volunteer responsibilities. The subways and buses were less busy...maybe due to the yucky weather, yet slower on the way over.
It was a usual relaxed weekend day at the orphanage. We had lunch and afterwards played a card and dice game. The sun broke open for a bit and we headed out side for the better part of an hour to play on the playground and play soccer. Jessie, the orphanage dog and Lucas hung out while Sasha and I played soccer.
Back inside for tea and then a matching card game with a couple of other children. Headed home after four hours as Jessie escorted Lucas and I all the way to the bus stop.
After getting back to the apartment, we all went back to Maidan (where the shopping and subway are) to go out to Solo Pizza...a treat! Then on to ice cream at the food court in the underground mall...another treat! I picked up a Grisham book in the very small English section of the bookstore as well as some modeling clay for Lucas.
Back at the apartment, our friends the Moore's knocked on the door for help with their cell phone and stayed for a visit...awesome people. Lucas watched Marmaduke with their son Matthias (10) for awhile and then ended up rough housing with their older son Zach (15). Jeanne and I just plain had great conversation with Dave and Nellie. I'm beginning to think a 3 room living space + bathroom is all one really needs...yeah, right...sell that idea back home.
I pray God blesses everyone's week with success!
