Friday & Saturday...


Friday, Alesia picked the kids up and brought to Kiev city to see our apartment. They had fun looking around, making "Chai" (we had all sorts of nummies), doing the dishes, painting nails, doing make-up, and yes, playing (or fighting over the computer). When they come next time, there will be more of a schedule, and the computer is after baths only! Jonathan had the hardest time sharing it, as he has had it each day by himself!


Saturday, we had a wonderful day first at a bar-b-que for all the children, with soccer for Jonathan so he was happy! He loves the kids here and if you have any questions about the boys, he will love to answer them! They had a spread of food for the kids, and they ate with long wooden skewers. It was great fun for me to watch them. Sergey, our driver, was the hot dog cook. I hope to add more photos later.
After the bar-b-que, we took our children to a small town amusement park, and did some rides, paddle boat, and looked at the go carts, but they were for 10 & up, so Chris said there was a different place we can go tomorrow. They did do the ferris wheel, bumper cars, and and a couple other rides. It was hard to say good-bye to the rides, but we were able to.
After all day outside, I crashed while Chris went to the local Productee (tiny 7-11 without the slushies, etc), Jonathan played chess online.
Tomorrow, we are going to a new church. We met Katya's friend at the picnic, and she invited us. Also, there is a Woman's conference this week at this church. Katya & I would like to go to, but not sure how to work it out..we'll see. Speakers are in English, translated to Russian!
Love from Alesia & Chris

Pray for those who persecute you....

Matt 5:11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven...."

Matt 5:44" But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of the Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.


Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.....

Phil 4:5-9 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things.


2nd Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

We adopted 4 older siblings from Ukraine in 2010 and hope we can help.

We will share what we learn and help you when we can. There are great supports here on this page. Sometimes it's one day, moment and breath at a time. And you're not alone. Love, Alesia & Chris
