We have news already. Ron and Jeane have arrived fine. We enjoyed watching Joseph singing in the choir on Sunday night. Ron and Jeane were greeted at Grace Church by many old friends.

Today is Monday, May 31, 2010. The Community Bible team missed their plane in New York and will be arriving later than planned. They will fly into Kiev and take either a bus or train down to Odessa. We are still smiling, but this is just the beginning.
