We are in Kiev!

Well, we made it to Kiev!  The flight was long and exhausting. I attempted to sleep, but there were a couple very loud talking Canadians sitting two seats in front of us.  I slept for an hour when they disappeared to another part of the airplane.  The flight was uneventful with the exception of the loud talking Canadians.  Jeff blamed loud Americans at first, then we heard them say they were from Canada.  

Our facilitator met us at the airport.  It was much smaller than I anticipated it would be.  We were out of the airport in record time. We drove to our apartment and left our stuff.  Then we walked through this open air market.  They had meat just laying out in the heat.  It was interesting.  The fruits and veggies are beautiful.  I will post pictures as soon as I can.  Next we went across the street to TGI Fridays and had an appetizer and chatted with our facilitator about what to expect at our SDA appointment.  Our facilitator, A, is very personable and we like him a lot.  He set us up with a cell phone and a 3 G Modem.  If anyone would like to call us, just send me an email and I will give you the number.    When we went back to our apartment, we slept for about 5 hours.  Now we are sitting in this cute Restorante eating pizza rolls and lasagne.  They have free Wi Fi for customers!  They also speak English. I have been surprised about how many people who can speak English in this places.  I wish I knew the language.  I hate being one of those people who can't speak the language in the country they are in, however I do know a few phrases.  At the least, we are polite because we can say please and thank you.   

We are still completely exhausted and should sleep well tonight.  Tomorrow is a down day for us and we may sight see alittle bit. Then on Tuesday, we have our appointment to pick our children.  Please continue to pray for God's guidance and wisdom when we are at the appointment.  We are 8 hours ahead and our appointment is at 10 am on Tuesday...so that is about 2 am in Tennessee.  If you feel the urge to pray for us in the middle of the night, then please do!!!! LOL
We will post more later!
