We woke up quite early, (still getting over the time difference) and were able to get on line and check our mail. Do you realize how wonderful it is to read letters from your family and friends? I am so thankful for all the encouragement and love you send us!!!
We are so thankful for this apartment! We were able to move in with only our suitcases, there is an assortment of dishes, pans and utensils. I am reminded again that God is a God of tiny details too, He made sure that there was a Turkish coffee pot! If you know us, you know that we LOVE our coffee. And, we didn't have a coffee pot in our suitcases. This place even has bedding.
Ok, back to yesterday... We decided to get aquainted with our new city. We walked 3 minutes to the corner and got on the subway. It reminds me of the Moscow metro, only more crowded and deeper!!!! I have to tell you, downtown Kiev is a beautiful old european looking city. We had such fun, I felt like a tourist taking a ton of picutres that I will be sharing soon.
Yesterday I was also reminded that we live in a city where other faiths are trying to find disciples too, we saw a group of Hari Krishnas singing right at our subway entrance.
What can you pray for?
~ opportunities to meet our neighbors, it is colder than I thought it would be and folks are not just hanging outside in the evenings
~pray that our bodies will adjust to local time
~pray that we will be keen observers of the needs of the folks here in Kiev
~pray that we will adapt to the culture here
Thanks for your prayers! we need them!!!!!
