Hello Nikopol

Greetings from the Greendale team!

We have arrived safely and are very thankful for that. Our flights were all on time and smooth. All our luggage came through and customs was a breeze. God is good!

It is 3:45am Tuesday and we just arrived at the guesthouse; all are settling in and looking forward to some sleep lying flat on a bed. We will send pictures soon.

Love and Blessings
Mary and the Team

Hi Team.
So glad to hear you guys made it safe and sound. I'm not sure what was worse for me, the 16 some hours on the airplane, or the 10 hour drive from Kiev to Nikopol with a 'squattie' in between:)
Have fun sorting through your boxes!
Give a hug to Olga, Sveta, and Tasha (the translators) for Julie and I. They are wonderful ladies of God, and will be a great blessing for your team.

Hey everyone (but especially Karen),

Hope you are catching up on sleep and feeling great! Things are going great at home. Alise asks each morning "My mommy?" and I just say you are still on your long trip. She smiles and says "My gamma" (grandma of course) and all is well. We miss ya and love ya.

Dale, Nahum, Simon, Tiana, Alise

Hello Kathy and team;
Glad to hear that you have all arrived and trust that you've gotten some good rest.
Things are just fine at home - care group just left and they thought the place looked great. Tom wants to come back next week to check out how the place will deteriorate. Looking forward to reading about your experiences. Are you able to access your email?
Love,
your three men.

So not true Kathy the place was a disaster and the boys look like they hadn't been fed since sat, their clothes were dirty! Rob even asked me to help him find clean clothes!
Ok so that's not exactly true, he did jokingly ask where his clean shirts were but that's about the extent of the truth there. All is well and they are being taken care of! No need to worry! :o)

Hi Mom, the girls miss you.... well Aly anyways. Everytime the phone rings she asks if it was Grandma J. The whole distance thing is a bit overwhelming! Talked to Dad yesterday and he's fine of course!
Anyways miss you!
Love Deb
