Greetings everyone.
Well, all eight of us made it home safely. Both the Ohio and Texas/Arizona groups had some adventures along the way. Flights were almost missed, and a few of us missed connections in Chicago, but nevertheless we are now all home. I think it's safe to say we have finished our laundry and are finally rested up from the long journey from Budapest on Tuesday.
As we've begun comparing notes we all agree it was a great trip! For those of us who have been to Ukraine before, it was a wonderful opportunity to become re-acquainted with friends and "family members." And, for those among us who experienced this trip for the first time, I'm sure there are going to be loads of new friendships to cherish and remember.
I have downloaded my photos and will be sharing them with you over the next few days. If you happen to be in the Dewey, Arizona area, why not join us for worship on Sunday morning at 10:00? Suzie, Marge and I will be talking about the trip complete with a slide show and souvenirs.
And, I can't forget to mention that along the way, we picked up two students from St. Stephen's School in Mukachevo. Timi and Andras are in Upper Sandusky, Ohio right now. On Thursday they will arrive in Arizona for a few days. Plans include a visit to the Grand Canyon and Sedona.
Watch this blog for their impressions of the U.S. as they continue their visit with some of us. They'll be returning home July 19.
Keep reading and watch for photos as they come along. We all appreciate the response we've received regarding this blog. It's good to know that we have so many interested readers!
Take care,
Pastor Diane
