…for a variety of reasons, I have not been able to post blogs in recent weeks (at first it was because my team and I lived in the middle of nowhere, but a few kilometers away from Cherynoble, but then I encountered some technical difficulties in recent days.) I am still unable to directly post photos onto this blog, but the following links have correspondent photos of my recent activities in the Ukraine for the last 2.5 weeks.
A babushka (Ukrainan grandmother) I befriended in the 300-person village we lived in:

She was very sweet, always had a hug and/or roasted pumpkin seeds for me. I helped her deliver canned vegetables on some of my daily hikes in the village.
At the Lavra Greek Orthodox monastery and catacombs (established in the 10th century!):

With the ladies at the women's conference we helped at and attended this past weekend:
It was a blessing!
You have all been a blessing in my life as I have ministered throughout the world. Thank you for supporting and loving me!
With love and prayers,
Hannah
