Hey family and friends! Long time no update! Monday was our last day at camp, which was pretty bittersweet. It was hard saying goodbye to the kids and to know that we were about to leave the rest of the Radooga team, but God's will is so much better than ours, so we're just trusting Him right now. We're very blessed to have an opportunity tomorrow to hang out for a bit with some of the kids we met this week, which is a wonderful opportunity for follow-up on the camp. Pray that we can reach new levels with these kids before heading home.
Anyways, Monday night, we went back to the camp we were living at early since we didn't have an evening program, and shortly after arriving we went on a short walk and had a bonfire and food, and some good fellowship together. When we went back, we had some worship time together in both Ukrainian and English, which was great for everybody. Tuesday we came back to Kiev after saying goodbye to most of the team and napped while the rest of the team traveled by bus and going to their homes. Some of us went to the river for a while and some spent some time at the house relaxing and reflecting on the week, and we began planning for Thursday.
Today, we went to the city and went to the World War II museum in Kiev, which is one of the biggest in the world. It was an amazing cultural experience for all of us. After that we went to Lavra, a famous Orthodox monastary, and then went to lunch together. In the evening, we split into two pairs and went to Ann and Anya's houses to have a real Ukrainian dinner and spend time with their families. It was a wonderful experience for all of us!
Tomorrow we're going to the burn hospital and doing a short program for about 22 kids there, so pray that we will stay motivated and excited with these kids and touch them with the love of Christ.
We love you guys!
