Ukraine Trip

We are in Ukraine visiting Tammy Swailes and the INSTE Ukraine office. Our train trip was very good. Long, but good. God sent an "angel" who spoke enough English and was kind enough to help us know what to do and where to get off. We didn't get a lot of sleep--it was noisy and moving and stopping a lot--but all in all was a very good trip. Tammy met us at the station and took us to Zhitomir. We are staying at the home of a very kind woman who speaks no English, but we communicate through sign language and French (merci beaucoup, tres bien). :)
Yesterday we spent the day at the INSTE office learning a lot and discussing our needs and plans in Hungary.
Today, Tammy took us to Kiev. We were on the subway, on the way to do some sightseeing when someone stole Mike's wallet out of his front pocket! It was very crowded and we didn't notice it until it was too late. Tammy took Mike to the police and "filed a report." The report the officer filled out was in a notebook about the size of a 3 x 5 card! Praise the Lord, his passport and our tickets back to Hungary weren't taken, too. And thank the Lord Nancy had cash and credit cards with her so we are not without resources right now. We also thank the Lord for Tammy's wonderful help. Please pray God's blessing on the guy who took it and that this will all turn out for God's glory.
We'll post pictures and tell you more about our trip when we get back to Hungary
