It was so nice to sleep in this morning and get some much needed rest! Hannah's cousin came to Ukraine 3 years ago and met a girl here that she really connected to and has stayed in touch with. So she gave Hannah her name and number so we could try and meet her. Hannah was able to set up a meeting with her today at Gloria Jeans (Starbucks of Ukraine). The four of us Hands On girls went, so no one who really knew the city. We had coffee with Oksana and spent a good hour and a half talking with her. She asked us where we were going to go to church tomorrow and we told her a church named Transformation. She looked so surprised and said my father is the pastor of that church! Only God could have us having coffee with the pastor's daughter out of the blue. We then tried to get to some of the cathedrals, we got lost. Not completely lost though we did make it home... eventually. We had dinner at Darrel and Kimberly's (our supervisors) and they fed us soup and grilled cheese. It was so good because today was the first time I actually felt cold. We then watched the film The Ultimate Gift, so good but a tear jerker. Walking home we pass through a park where kids have slid down a small hill and made it extra slick. Sarah and Mary Ann were attempting to go down and we attracted a small crowd. We left but when we turn around we saw many of the adults who had been watching us trying to slide down. One large guy went down and completely wiped out! It was so funny, the guy was fine and actually tried again. It was nice to see some adults having fun, not something one sees around here.
