I’m here…let the games begin

I made it just fine all the way to Dnepropetrovsk…didn’t lose any baggage…didn’t get bumped off of a plane…didn’t have to listen to screaming babies for eight hours…what more could I ask? The plane ride was very bumpy due to terrible weather and the fact that I was sitting one row from the bulk head…every single motion of the plane I felt and can almost still feel! On top of that, the Lord had plans for me to sleep and not to watch the boob tube. My individual little screen (and the 7 others close to it) did not work. So it seems I was meant to sleep at least for a little while. Got into Dnep and was met by the same Customs guy as I’ve had beforfe. He took one look at me and said “You!” and shook his head. Then he looked a little at my stuff and waved his hand and dismissed me. So Customs was very smooth! I am at the Daffi where they have WIFI and I am actually at the Gamers Internet Cafe…I know that LeRoy is jealous!…but it is a little smokey for my taste, but I will be finished very soon so it shouldn’t matter! Maybe later I will be able to get WIFI from the area downstairs…Any way…I am fixing to crash, so I will sign off for now and save blogging for another day! Keep posting!

    I’m so glad you got there safe and sound. All those prayers going up for an uneventful flight worked. Hope you get some rest before you start your visit so that you can have a great time.

    I went to your store to place an order today (Tuesday). I went back to get your invoices, but the load wasn’t there yet. Chris wasn’t there either. They told me that he probably wouldn’t be back. I didn’t meet his replacement yet, but probably will next week.

    Hope you’ve gotten to rest so you can enjoy your visit.

    Love you,
    Sharon

    Glad to hear you made it safe and sound. No tv, now that
    would be a tough flight. Can’t wait to read about your upcoming
    adventures.

    I am so glad that your flight went so well!! Sounds like you’ve become somewhat of a celebrity in the Ukraine, atleast with the customs people!

    Robby was going to help Staci at your store, but don’t know if your order is here or not. Mine’s not in yet and it’s Wed. morning.

    Praying for a blessed day in the Ukraine!

    love,
    Cathy

    Glad you arrived safe and sound – prayers answered (Enjoyed your blogs – Ben gave me the website)Hope you have got some rest; and will have an enjoyable, productive, and meaningful trip. I see it is currently 16-C degrees there (which is 60.8-F) more like Ct. weather than Tx. weather. God bless-love–Bettye A.
