Isabel- I had such a good time in Ukraine with everyone! I loved doing the quest room, going to Russian church with the whole team, having an EPIC Easter egg hunt in the freezing cold, attending the Kiev ballet and colouring cool pages with Cassie, Jay and Kai. Even though my ranch dressing turned out be a bit defective, I think the paska was a hit! Would love to visit again sometime.
Simon- I had a great time with you guys. Thank you so much for allowing us to visit and opening up the boat and your home to us. I had lots of fun at the base and hope you guys continue to help people out.
Maddy- Recently my family and me took a trip to the YWAM Kiev base to see my uncle Ben, Auntie Ang and cousins Cassie, Jay and Kai. We had such an amazing time! Some of my favourite activities were the ballet (so beautiful), the quest room and touring around with Auntie Ang. We made so many amazing memories, from a European feast in the stuffy cabin of an overnight train to walking in the snow with our toes freezing off to go see the Iron Mama. The food was great and the people were wonderful. We had a fantastic time. Thank you guys! P.S. To Auntie Ang: BOOM. DONE.
Maria (and Ike) We knew we were in for a very special visit when we were shown our rooms in the boat and there were welcome baskets for each of us; coffee, snacks, water, candies, oranges, books to read, small gifts and fresh roses! How absolutely kind! Spending time with you guys was just precious; food and fellowship around your big kitchen table, seeing the sights of Kiev, learning the metro, trying our four Russian words at Puzata Hata and Ketusha, riding the midnight train to Zaporizhia, meeting your friends, getting our nails done together and sitting around talking. Those memories will be cherished. Thank you for being the best hosts; we were spoiled by your hospitality, delicious food and cozy home. I find myself talking Russian to myself these days as I set out the supper spread – “Da. Smetana pjalsta. Spasiba!”. I’ve got a long way to go…
Much love forever.
