Being
in a small village all last month made transitioning into this month
a little more difficult. We are in the city of Odessa which is a major
seaport on the Black Sea and also the fourth largest city in Ukraine.
It’s strange being in such a large city, especially one that’s so
westernized. I feel a little out of place in my been worn all around
the world, border line shabby clothes, while the women everywhere
around me are dressed in the latest fashion.
Living conditions have been very
nice. We rented a flat for the month and although we don’t all have
beds there’s room for us all to spread out and get comfortable. Last
month and for most of Africa we hand washed all our clothes so it’s
nice this month having a washer. Our clothes actually feel/smell
clean.
One of my favorite things about
having an apartment is that we’re able to have people over. Our main
focus this month has been on the university students and they’ve come
over several evenings for game nights, dinner or just to hang out.
Through the people we’ve met and also through the experiences we’ve
had so far God has made it very evident that this is where we were
suppose to be.
