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.

The power of a hug

Three weeks ago at church, Masha sat next to me.   Masha is ten, has Downs Syndrome and is a fantastic hugger.  She just loves hugging.  So I try to always stop and hug her back.  During the service, she came in and sat between me and her dad, for a while she loved on her dad and then she leaned her head on my shoulder, so I leaned my head over onto hers, and she looked up at me with this big smile.  She reached around and gave me a shoulder hug, and then patted my head, and then rubbed my back for a few minutes.  I didn’t move the entire time because it just felt so good.  It was just simple, innocent affection, and it sent tingles up my spine.  If you don’t know what I’m talking about you need more hugs and back scratches. Human contact is so important.  That’s why I try and hug the kids when we go up to the orphanage.  These are just a few stories of some of the hugs I’ve given and gotten this past month, and why hugs are so imp...

The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain: Why shopping is a pain in Ukraine.

I used to like shopping. I thought it was fun. I love closure, and so nothing was more satisfying than crossing items off a list. I enjoyed the experience of checking out new stuff, looking for bargains, and of course everyone knows that buying stuff feels good.   That was then. This is now. Shopping here is a pain. Let me explain (hey, I’m a poet and I don’t even realize it)! First, we don’t have a car. That means we are at the mercy of public transportation, and so we have to keep that in mind when choosing what store to go to. Is it close to a bus or metro stop? Do we have to transfer metro lines? When we lived in the city center, we were really close to two metro lines. We like this store called MegaMarket, and it was only a few stops away on the metro. So, we would grab our backpacks, walk a block to the metro, go down a ridiculously long escalator, then hop on a metro and ride a couple stops down.   Then we would walk a few blocks and there it was..…Megamarket! Second re...

The Costs of Dehumanization

  Our friends, Marina and Ira, have family in Russia.   Not long after the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, they spoke with those family members.   Those in Russia expressed their disgust that people in Ukraine were eating children.   Marina and Ira’s reaction was naturally surprise and horror.   In the early days of the war, back in 2014, state-controlled Russian news agencies had started to run a story about a young boy that had been crucified in Ukraine’s eastern territories.  The narrative was that this was what Ukrainians were doing to Russian speakers.  It didn’t take long for the story to be debunked.  But this was primarily outside of Russia, most people within Russia kept hearing this story, and stories like it. Over the years, the stories grew to the point where Russian citizens were hearing that Ukrainians were regularly eating babies.   This is why Marina and Ira were having this conversation.  They told their r...
