Day2 Dave

First I hope you are well.
We Flew all night and arrived the next morning. Every thing was safe and sleep fitfull, it went well. Our facilitator met us at the airport and we called it a day after we had dinner and picked up groceries, plus checking into the apartment.
Kiev is beautiful, and old, and I love to look around. I so love to LOOK around at all the sights.
During the night I awoke at 4AM Kiev.time when I often get up but as the time difference is 6hrs ahead it was  10PM back home when I often go to sleep. Stay up 3 hrs and then almost overslept for a 10AM pickup.

We visited hospital for aids children. Some have one parent who visits. Most have none. We played with and held little children to young to understand all but the appreciation of receiving love and comfort. I feel our love and comfort is so little for the scope of their situation.


Our facilitator is an Orthodox Christian. We are having a great time talking. (He says there is hope for me.) I like that he came from an evangelical backgroud becouse it lets me know he understands our positions and we can skip over the "educational talk on my part" and move to his part about why he feels how he does, Strong and weak points. Also it is so a part of the heritage of this country.
Tomorrow Sunday we attend an Evangelical Church with the medical missionaries we visited the orphanage with today.
Monday AM (5.30 your time) is the meeting requesting approval for adoption, Then on Tuesday at 4PM we get our referral and go directly to the train station to take the overnight train to Zaporozia.

I have Down time. We can relax and sleep, read a book, On third one plus financial investment strat paper.
Time to relax is different for me, Especially for the work we were doing at the house. Most things are different here. It is a nother country. The people are friendly.

Later Dave b.
