Ukraine Day 8 & 9

It is 8:45 a.m. Ukraine time as I sit to eat my last breakfast before the long journey home. Yesterday we made two more visits. We went back to the center Project Pilgrim. We played basketball, ping pong, billards and rode a bicycle with the children. The billards are very difficult as the ball is 25% larger than ours and the pockets are 25% smaller. The children that come there after school are so incredible and have such difficult lives and yet they smile so much!!!
Earlir in the day we went to the final foster home. The home of Galina. She is a single mother who raised her own two children who are now grown. She now has six foster children that she is wonderful with. They are so talented. Many of them sang for us yesterday and you can see evidence of that on Phil Roberts sight at www.ukrainetrip2010.com Two of them are very very talented.
We will begin our travel home at 4:30 local time as we board the train. That will be 9:30 am at home in Kentucky. We will start our three flights home beginning in Kiev at 12:55 tomorrow afternoon Kiev time and finally arrive in Louisville and 11pm Wednesday night. I look forward to seeing my family tomorrow and my extended SCC family as soon as possible.
Please be praying for our travel today as well as Rhonda Souder and Mary Gonda Chandler as they return from Kenya today. Also our team leaves on the Romainian Medical Mission trip this morning with Linda Cain, Dave, Linda & Hannah Jones. They will be conneting with the Sweitzers for a total of 17 people to help people in the remote Romainian villages.
I am ready to hit the road, see you soon. i love you guys!!
