There's No Place Like Home

We never did get connected back to the internet during our time in Ukraine. We couldn't even get connected at the apartment in Kyiv so you'll have to wait to hear of all the excitement of our last ten days: meeting Sophie's mother and baby brother and sister (twins), running out of money and the credit card on hold, Katya's brave intervention of pick-pocketers, missing the flight from JFK because we were behind a flight of Indians who also needed to be finger-printed and other exciting adventures. We finally got home at 3:00 am Saturday morning and are soooo happy to be here. Thank you for your prayers and wishes. God was so faithful during those last emotional, stressful days! We love you and look forward to seeing you. SDG, Charlene

Charlene,what a sweet ending to your trip. Welcome home Mary Katrina, I know that your life is going to be so different now. You have got a wonderful family that is abundant in love. You are a very blessed young lady. Charlene and Tim, you are also very blessed to have such abundance of relationship in your life and now adding another beautiful daughter. It is true that there is no place like home, but you will never be able to take the Ukraine out of your heart. God bless you, give you rest and may you enjoy the fruit of your obedience for the rest of your life.
