Some highlights

Sorry for being so remiss in blogging! Here are some highlights of what we've been up to:

1. English club at one university.
2. English club at Christian Center.
3. Christmas Eve party with Nataly and Victoria.
4. Family Christmas on Christmas morning
5. Immediately following family Christmas, we packed up and headed off to teach an English class. Ukraine does not celebrate our Christmas; they follow the Orthodox calendar and celebrate Christmas on January 7.
6. Had tea with a teacher, deputy director, and president of the college. Amiee and I were forced to eat caviar and salo (pig fat). It was rough...
7. English club at the Christian Center.
8. Church and visiting with Ukrainian friends.

We've had a lot going on! It's been quite fun, and we've gotten to accomplish a lot.


Hannah Ray and Mom after their super long journey to Ukraine! This is right before the Brassarts boarded the overnight train from Kiev to Poltava.

Nataly, Victoria, me, and Amiee on Christmas Eve. We had a blast playing Speed Scrabble and Apples-to-Apples.


Gift/card exchange time!

Christmas morning. Don't mind the hair...

I hope that all of you had a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! Blessings on your new year!
