We made it to Sevastopol after our 15 hour train ride. Yuri picked us up and took us to eat Pizza. The we checked into our hotel whic is more like small villas. They are super nice and spacious. Yuri did good once again as if we had to worry anyway. He always takes care of us. We then ventured out on the Black Sea for a few hours and that was amazing. Everyone had a great time. After sailing we were hungry again so we ate Mcdonalds. Felt like we were back in USA. Tomorrow is our first work day so we are going to get some rest to prepare to begin the mission house. Everyone send there love and thanks to everyone for the comments and prayers. Goodnight!

At last, we are on the final leg of our trip to Sevastopol. We had a scare in Nashville after being told our flight was cancalled. Thanks to everyone praying it all worked out in the end. Everyone is having a great time. We are excited to get to work and start the mission headquaters for HopeHouse. By the way Troy, I know you would be dying to hear that tommorow we will be going sailing on the Black Sea. Another rough day in the life of mission work. But someone has got to do it. Today we were able to take in some sights in Kiev. We ate dinner at an authentic Ukrainian buffet probably as good as A and A I’m sure. The trian is great and nostalgic although we will not be visiting the food car, we don’t want to be that nostalgic. Well I hate to run but we are going on 39 of no sleep so we are going to bed on this brand new high speed state of the art train headed for Sevastopol. Look at that I’m already dreaming, Bye for now.

Rex and team #2 have arrived in Kiev. Everyone has their luggage and all are doing fine. Just got off the phone talking with Rex. They are going to get pizza and then do some sight seeing. They will eat again around 6 PM on the way to the train. They leave around 8 PM and are due to arrive here in Crimea around 1 PM tomorrow afternoon.
Praise be to God for the success of the trip despite obstacles

After a few airport stresses, the team is in flight and on their way. Pray for their safety, their health, their work, and their families back home!
