Ukraine

I have posted a few pictures from the trip, but there are TONS more! Our team had a camera with film, digital camera, and most of us brought disposable cameras. I have a ton more pictures and a photo album if you ever want to see them!
I have tons and tons of stories. Just ask and I'll talk your head off about my experience. I am hoping to share at West Chester and Bryant in the next few months.
God was so evident during the month of June. Thank you to everyone who prayed for me and supported me. I believe God has great things in store for my future and I am so excited to serve Him in any way that I can!

This is me with Dema again. I taught him how to Eskimo kiss!

This is me with a little boy named Dema. He quickly became my favorite little kid! Some of the American boys nicknamed him MMMBOP because he had a Hanson shirt on for the first week we were there. So cute!!!

This is one of my favorite pictures! Sosha is the boy next to me with the goofy face. He would come up to me and make a face any chance he got...so I just started doing it back.

This is a picture of me and the other American girl with almost all of the boys that we worked with at their graduation.

I worked with the oldest group of kids (ages 15 &16). During the month, they had a few exams that they had to take and at the end of the month they graduated! We didn't get to go to the graduation, but we went to their disco! The girls wore prom dresses! This is a picture during the disco with most of the kids and the 4 of us who were counselors (2 Ukrainians and 2 Americans).

Don't those holes look pretty? Those holes served as my bathroom the month of June. I became an excellent squatter!

This is what happens when you put Ukrainians in control of games...they make the Americans look silly!!! We are all dressed up as zoo animals. We have a gorilla, skunk, ostrich (that's me), spider, peacock, kangaroo, swan, camel, and parrot. Interesting....

This is the group of us before we left the Indy Airport. We had no clue what the month would hold for us at this point!
