My mother keeps pleading with me to post.  It just seems that life gets so busy and there is little time to blog.  The pastoral leadership sat down and planned out a sermon schedule so that none of the three of us would be overwhelmed between our two worship services, the large amount of administrative needs, and our Senior pastors full-time employment.  We ended up needing to shuffle a few things around, and now I am writing two sermons simultaneously - one in English and one in Ukrainian!  

Our student center laptop was the only computer I used that had a SD card reader (which I need to upload pictures) - a little over a month ago that laptop was stolen from the student center - so it is a big hassle to upload pictures now.  I am working on finding a way to do so - and I hope I can soon because I have some great pictures to share.  

So, take this as a promise of things to look forward to. 

St. John's UMC celebrated it's third birthday since starting weekly services.  

My second week of seminary sessions was a rousing success. 

I spent the third holiday feast of January with my friends family in her village. 

I took in a shelter dog.  His name is Masik and he only has three legs and he is adorable. 

Pictures and stories coming soon friends!
