I've been very remiss in updating my blog. However, I feel as though I've had a fairly decent excuse. This past week, I've been working with a volunteer team from my home church in Alabama!
Here's a synopsis of what the team did:
1. Sports clinics for American football, basketball, and baseball.
2. Cheerleading and crafts for those not inclined to play sports.
3. Prayerwalking around Poltava.
4. Evening awards programs for the day campers.
5. Loving on the people of Poltava.
We were able to love on, spend time with, and share the gospel with over 60 people for four days in a row. This team was phenomenal; no whining, no complaining, and lots of commitment. They made an impact on those they were in contact with, and they are welcome back here any time they want. I hope that you enjoy the pictures (sidenote: I didn't actually get any action shots of the sports or the awards shows each night...I know. I fail.)!

Looks like you had a great time with loved ones from home! I particularly liked the action shot of you on the phone :)
I have just discovered your blog and really enjoyed it. In the past few minutes I've seen several people I know! I live in Auburn and grew up in H'ville going to Whitesburg. :) My husband and I adopted our son from Ukraine, so what you are doing is dear to my heart. :)
