I am not always the best at keeping in contact so I decided to blog. I am going to TRY to be good at updating this. Writing is not by biggest talent so please forgive me in advance if its choppy or
boring:)

I have been back in Ukraine for a month now and besides it being freezing, I feel like God is moving big time. In April, it will be two years that we have lived here which is insane. I think back to when we first got here and so much has changed. I really think a lot is gonna happen this year. We have so much vision of what we want to do. We just recently added a new member, Sashko, to our team which is really exciting. For so long we have had many things we saw a need for but not enough people. We also have a really great team of Ukrainians that we work with and we feel so blessed to have them.

Going to the orphanage had been really great. I have been with my group there for almost 5 years now. I love seeing how much they have changed and are growing. I probably could love them anymore. It pushes me to have something set up for when they graduate. I have 2 boys Ura and Yuroslav that I am especially close with. I am praying that someone will want to host them this summer. Ura is already 16 so he is not eligible for adoption. But we have seen how much it helps the kids to go spend time with a family. Yaroslav will be 15 next month and is eligible for adoption. He has been in the orphanage since he was a baby. He knows nothing about his family. He is a kid that would do great and just longs for a family. So if anyone knows about someone who would want to host this summer please please let me know. The organization that does the hosting is New Horizons. Well I am new at this so I think this is it for the first one. But in the next one I will write about starting a community center something that is so on my heart.
