We arrived in Sevastopil yesterday after a 17 hours on the train. We have met Maks and his family and seen the house we are to work on today. We’ve met our interpreter, Ira, and her family. Her husband, Edward, is a local pastor. We will head out for Maks’ house about 8:30 today. All four of us are looking forward to begin our work. I am amazed at how quickly our team has bonded. I pray that our days are not just about the labor, but mostly about being the eyes, hands, and feet of Jesus. We are coveting your prayers as we are keeping ourselves before His Glorious Throne.
Shalom,
Lee

It is great to hear you arrived safely. Max and his family are a is a true blessing and their faith is uncompromising. You could not be working for a better family. The Lord does do great things. Tell everyone hello from all of us that went the week before you guys. We tried to leave some work for you guys but our team was so great. I hope your team bonds and works the same. Good luck, be safe and always thank the Lord for everything. ITS NOT ABOUT US!

Good to hear all arrived safely and we echo Rex’s comments on Max and his family. We felt our hearts moved in so many ways during our trip and wish everyone on the arriving team the same spiritual experience. Thankfully our trip home was uneventful and other than a bit of jet lag, all are well. It took some time to figure out our Team Name but it seems to fit our motley crew. Please give everyone our hello’s and let them know we will be back!
p.s. – Tell Jay that Rex has been (unfortunatley?) de-throwned as ping-pong champ by David.
