Sunday, we went to church at Calvary Chapel Pryluky. We met one of the girls there that offered to translate for us. Pastor Vlad was also someone we knew from the camps. We actually met him when he was still going to seminary.
Right after church, Nicolai picked us up and we left to go back to Kiev, via the airport to get our bags. All 4 bags were there. We have never been so happy to see luggage.
We got an apartment in Kiev for 2 nights, near the soccor stadium for anyone who knows Kiev. That's all we know about the area. Grant said the Ukraine is a country of contraditions. Sometimes you will have a really nice restaurant or hotel, but everthing else in the area would be run down/falling apart.
Our apartment was no different. As we road up the elevator to the 6th floor, listing to the chains in the elevator in a 4' x 4' area, we thought we were really going to get a better understanding of what means to live in Ukraine. When the landlord opened the door for us though - the apartment was beautiful - western standards. There was English magazines, so we presume he usually rents out to Americans. Hey - we even have washing machine. 
We spent the rest of the evening walking around to find a store for food, and then getting ourselves prepared for our appointment on Monday.
