Ukraine - Revisited

Well, actually not for me - I'm not going this time, Becks is. But I guess it's not 'revisited' for her either because this is her first time. ;-) In any case, she leaves tomorrow on an outreach to the Ukraine, where I was a couple weeks ago. But this time the outreach wll focus on a boarding school (although I think it's more like an orphanage). This is Becks' first real short-term mission outreach and I am so excited for her! You go girl!!

I wish I could go with her, but alas, there are four (yes, not 1 or 2 or 3, but 4 this time!) little Phams that need me at home. This is also the first time that little Dariah has been away from Momma for any length of time (Becks weaned her a couple months ago). On top of that, we are all sick - colds, I think. Everyone has the runny nose, coughs, etc. Oh well, kindergarten and school have started so that means we get to learn about sharing - in this case sharing germs and illnesses!

Pray for us all, especially for Becks - not fun traveling with a cold, especially the flight to Hungary. Pray for the kids and I at home - that we don't get sicker. Pray that Becks and the team will be a great blessing to the people in the Ukraine.

Here are some random 'blast from the past' fotos...
