I am not sure when we will have internet access again for a while, so I decided to grab a quick post before we leave. Our train leaves @ 8:30. So far, today has been pretty relaxed.
We got up this morning and found that "strange Latvian man" has left the building. Last night I had to get into his apartment to get clothes out of the washing machine and some other guy answered the door. I began to wonder if this man, who was not supposed to be here, was subletting the space.
Our facilitator , George the Jedi, called the church representative in Zap who is affiliated with the group in Kiev. He inquired about the apartment there in Zap, and the lady said it was not available (she said someting about a Latvian man). She insisted that we stay with her. George, of course was delighted. We say NO WAY, Andrey! So we will move into our own place when we get there and leave George to talk the paint off this woman's walls.
Last night, Paula gave the door guard who was here in January about 12 of the U.S. state quarters he was collecting. He freaked out for about 2 seconds and then pulled out a list of the quarters that he did not have and asked that we bring those to him next time. This kind of gratitude was eerily familiar, but kinda funny too.
We had lunch with Nastya, the translator who came over in 2005. She is having a tough time, just pray for her. Things are tough all over Ukraine; much worse than at home.
Well, I will go for now. Thanks so much for all the prayers....keep them coming.
