Goodbyes & Thank You's

It is so so so hard to believe that this hosting trip is coming to an end and we fly back to Ukraine tomorrow! (Still dreading the goodbyes at the airport tomorrow morning!)  It has been a very full, very blessed 3 weeks with the kids in my home state of Washington!  The sun may have not shown its face much while we were here-- but our kids were smiling.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all who gave of their time and energy and finances to make this trip possible! It really was the fulfillment of a big dream of mine and a LOT of prayer. Above all thank you to the host families who received these kids with open hearts and open arms-- you have given these kids one unforgettable summer.

Please keep us in your prayers as we fly back to Kiev-- let's pray it is a little less dramatic than our entry in to the USA!!

For those of you who gave to make this trip possible-- see the smiling faces of gratitude below...

As they said above...THANK YOU!

** For those that have inquired about availability of these kids- please email me directly.  It looks like several of these kids may be adopted into families as a result of this hosting program, but I will not post details about that at this time.
