We made it!

WOW! We made it to Ukraine with no major hiccups. Praise the Lord. We are having a great time already. All of our luggage arrived, thank goodness. The flights went well. Tanner and Wayne did well on their very first flight. We were able to meet up with our new friends, the Powell's (Reece's parents fron RR). It was great to fly with them and get to know them better. We have already been to the market to buy groceries for dinner. We bought a birthday cake for Timur too. Please take the time to pray for him and know that we are celebrating him too. We will meet him on Wednesday at Noon. Rememeber we are 8 hours ahead of you in the states. So we are praying for you as you go to church this morning. We are grateful for the hospitality of our new friends, Jamie, Sveta, and Yuri. They have welcomed us into their home for the next few nights, we are grateful. It's nice to feel like home.
We'll keep you posted as we are on this adventure. It is just know seeming real. We are glad to be here. I'm really tired as we have been up ALL night. We'll most more as things progress. I'm looking forward to a good nights sleep in a nice warm bed.
Continue your prayers. We love and appreciate them. Thank You!
Blessings,
Meghan

We are glad that you made it. Is it cold there? What did you eat for dinner? Did Tanner and Wayne keep their eyes closed the whole flight? We are glad that you feel at home and tell Timur Happy Birthday from us. We will continue to pray for all of you.
