Hanan, Uzzie, Phoebe, and I all flew together from Dallas/Fort Worth to Kiev. We stopped in Memphis and Amsterdam before we got to Kiev. On the way to Memphis, Phoebe and I sat together, but for the rest of the flights, none of us sat next to each other. This proved to be a blessing in disguise, because God was able to witness to our seatmates through us instead of us talking amongst ourselves. When we arrived in Kiev, we were rather lost as to where to go or what to do since nobody spoke any English. We just blindly followed the crowd. We got through customs all right much to everyone’s relief. We went and picked up our luggage which was all there (an answer to our prayers!) and went out to the main area. There was Edwin, Nadya, and Pastor Mykytyuk (Pastor M). It was so good to see a familiar face! People were all around us offering to taxi us, but we walked away very quickly and went to the bus. It was very cold and we were running in place to keep warm. We got into the bus and began to leave. Pastor M had to pay for parking and the attendant hollered because he thought the bus was too tall to go through the gate. Pastor M. told him it was okay since he had been there 4 times already that day.
