Hangers

It's surprising to see what everything costs here. On one hand, I can get a bundle of broccoli for 25 cents. On the other hand, hangers are so expensive! Who would've thought? For example, this hanger is 10 dollars! Maybe that's normal, even for the states, but seriously! That's more than I've ever paid for a shirt!
In the next picture you'll notice that there are 4 plastic hangers in the package. How much, you ask? Over 5 bucks! I used to work at a thrift store, and we sold these kind of hangers for 5 cents each! Crazzzzy!
Well, that's all I can think of to write about hangers. If you have any good hanger stories, let me know. I guess it should be noted that I'm wearing a cool pink sweater in these pictures. Which brings me to another point: That is me, Janna, in these pictures. Daniel does not wear pink. However, If Brad Reimers asked him to, he probably would.

    I hear ya J! That's how it is in Argentina too with hangers... so expensive! When we were living there last yr I would save up little by little and buy 2 hangers here, 4 hangers there and add too my collection... even though I just wanted things to be organized and have a bunch of hangers right from the start!... Ridiculoso!

Freedom in losing

The last day of our summer camp, I told the kids about my first tennis game in high school.   It was a game that skill-wise I should have won, but I was so nervous and afraid of messing up that I totally blew the game.   It was only after I was one game away from losing the match that I relaxed and just played, after all, in my mind I had already lost, there was no stress.    And then I started winning.   But after winning four games in a row, I thought, “Wow, I might actually win this game.”   Then the stress returned … and I lost.   I focused on that time in the game where I had pretty much lost, but the game just wasn’t over yet.   There was an awesome freedom that comes when you know you’ve lost and you just get to play.   You can experiment, and if you mess up; who cares you’ve already lost.   If you do good, it feels good and you can enjoy it without worrying if it’s good enough.   Life is a lot like that tennis matc...

Anya’s operation “The whole story”

Brace yourselves:  This blog is 3309 words long.  Honestly, I cut a lot of information out and simplified it so much to keep it short.  But the story of Anya’s operation is a monster and I wanted to tell it start to finish so that you have one place to come learn about Anya and what she’s been through these past months, as well as what it has taught us about the lives of orphans here. The core problem:  Our helplessness to help Anya A few weeks ago a friend from the states wrote me a few emails asking about Anya’s situation.  At that point Anya had been in the hospital for almost four weeks … waiting.  Her operation was first scheduled for the day after she was checked in, but it kept getting pushed back again and again.  It was incredibly frustrating, mainly because no one in Kiev had the authority to check her out of the hospital, and so she had to stay there for four weeks..four very boring weeks.  I would have gone crazy. Normally, the par...

Anya’s Russian Dad

How war and propaganda have been affecting families across Ukraine, Russia and the world. On February 24 th , 2022, Anya, like millions of Ukrainians, was woken up at 5 o’clock in the morning by the sounds and reverberations of missiles striking in and around Kyiv (where she lived) and all over the country.  She spent that morning rounding up her very large family, including a 13 year old son who was at a sleepover more 30 minutes from their home.  Imagine being separated from one of your children in a situation like that.  They did get all of their family (18 people) together, but it was a lot of work and stress.  While getting everyone together Anya and her family had to pack up not knowing how long they would be gone.   Then, they joined millions of people on the road who were heading West.  It took them 3 days to make a trip that would typically take 7-9 hours.   As Anya sat in the car, she started thinking about her parents.  ...
