The Team and all their Accomplishments!

The March building team rocked! They were an tremendous group of people that did an enormous amount of work. If you're a March building team member reading this, THANK YOU FOR THE WORK YOU DID! YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE! For the rest of you,  here's some pictures:
Mike installed somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 lights, and he has an amazing testimony. To sum it up, it's never too late to give God everything!
Our director Jerry is on the left and his son Jerry on the right. Although they fought like little girls the whole trip, they did get some work done, such as framing the basement bathrooms!

This was Randy's 3rd time to Ukraine, and he tiled the bathroom on the 2nd floor and did some ballet moves I think.
Daniel installed cabinets to prepare for Anya and her nurse! Also in picture: a dork.
One of the lovely ladies, Brooke, did everything from painting to scrubbing to cleaning out an old fridge! Plus we have the same shoe size.
Tina, Brooke's partner in crime, also painted, scrubbed tile, scraped and cleaned windows. And we both love stickers!
Steve was our vahonka man. What is vahonka, you may ask? That's Steve's little secret and you may write to him for answers. He may write back if you stuff the envelope full of twenties.
This is Steve. Magician by day, window cleaner by night, he rocked the trip with his mad skills and fearlessness.
Hooray for the March Team! This is us squinting into the sun. Aren't we nice squinters?
Yeah, we had fun! You can have fun, too. There are two building trips in July, so sign up now! Go to http://www.mannaworldwide.com/ and click on "trips." This is the opportunity that you won't want to miss! In fact, to encourage you more, here's what Tina wrote: 
"Once at Smile House, I met Janna and Daniel... I was really impressed with how they tried not to waste any materials that they would use. Always being conscientious and using the most out of what they had. I am glad that I could be a part of getting Smile House ready. My experience in the Ukraine had been a positive one and I owe it all to Janna, Daniel, the Stoddards, and of course the team that I went with. I hope and pray that God gives me the opportunity to go back. I also want to thank God for breaking my heart(in a good way) and for giving me a burden for Smile House."

Yes, I'll admit it: Daniel and I are rather charming. But more importantly, we want you to come to Ukraine. It will change you. We will feed you squid chips and they will change you. You will serve the Lord and He will change you. The choice is yours.

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...

Tevye the Milkman's Museum

Tevye is the main character from Fiddler on the Roof and he’s based on a guy who lived not far from Kiev. For a while Doug has been trying to put together a group of people to visit a little museum that is dedicated to him near Boyarka (and when I say "a while," I mean for about 9 years). We heard it wasn't really a museum, just a room set up with some displays and so we weren't expecting much, but we thought, “Hey, when in Ukraine…” So, about 15 Americans, mostly missionaries and teachers, hopped in a few vans on Saturday and took a little trip out of the city. After getting lost a few times, we finally arrived at the public school where the museum is located.  Imagine our surprise when we walked into the building to find about 30 kids dressed up in traditional Ukrainian clothing! Once all the Americans were inside, the group started singing us a welcome song! You can watch it below; sorry it’s a little shaky, I was just trying to get the...
