We will make several posts to keep it more of a daily update.
This past Saturday, we had the opportunity to go to our friend Lyosha's wedding. We had such a great time.
They did not have most of the Ukranian traditions since the traditions have non-Christian roots, but the amount of food they had puts Italians to shame! What was also so great, is we saw so many people we knew! 
Most everyone that we had developed friendships with from the EEO camps was there, and we also found out that Yuri our facilitator was Oleg's best man in his wedding few years ago. So we know that there was more to us going to the camps than what we thought at that time. We also got to know 2 other families who are missionaries out in Chernigov and Negin. So we were very blessed to be able to celebrate their wedding with them.
Before we left for the wedding though, we had called for our bags and they said they weren't there. Ugh! I had borrowed clothes from someone at the church so I would not have to wear jeans and Grant borrowed some shirts from our friend getting married. But, 30 minutes later we got a call that they were there! Praise God! We would not be able to get them before the wedding - nor would we trust them since we would be leaving the following day, so we decided since we were moving around to much thawe would just get them ourselves tomorrow on the way back to Kiev.
We are still trying to post pictures. Probably tonight....Thanks for praying for us.

Glad to hear your bags arrived! I have seen a few pictures from the wedding and it looked like fun. You know those Ukrainians, they know how to put on a feast. Lyosha was worried there would not be enough. I will be praying for you as your journey continues.
