Last week

Last week in Kyiv, that is! I leave for Georgia on Monday morning. Since it's only Friday evening I have a ton of time to pack all my stuff up, right? Right.

Since next week begins almost a month of holidays for Georgia (25th of December Christmas, New Years, Orthodox Christmas on January 6th, then Old New Years on the 14th) we're starting our outreach with a bunch of parties! There are better ways to be introduced to a new country and culture, but I can't think of them at the moment. The first week or so my team (our leader Kate, Sevinch from Azerbaijan, Elya and Ruslan from Ukraine) will be staying with a family that works with YWAM in Georgia. That's only until we find our own place to stay, hopefully near the center of the city, but a lot of that depends on money.

I've really enjoyed my time in Kyiv. It's a beautiful, unique city with some of the kindest people you'll ever meet. I've gotten to see some awesome sights (feel free to check out my pictures on facebook), gotten to meet some amazing people, learned some valuable lessons, and have had a great 3 months. It's hard to believe that my DTS is half-way over. When I started 6 months seemed like forever, and now I look back and have a very hard time believing that I still don't have 6 months to go- it seems like I'm still just getting started.

Thank you all for coming this far with me, now we're starting a new leg of the journey! Please pray for safe travels and an easy adjustment in Georgia. Love you all, hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! See you in Georgia!
