Nearing the End?

Today was a nice Sunday.  Our friend, Sean, was allowed to preach at the Baptist church this morning, along with two other men.  So a pleasant 2 hour service.  Everyone there is very kind and friendly toward us.  After church, the Ukrainian guys took us to a buffet sort of place, with genuine Ukrainian food ( what else would they have here?  This is hardly a tourist destination). Came home for a restful afternoon.  On our walk home, we were called by Svetlana and she is planning to come over tomorrow.  She had funny instructions for us - meet her by the grey door downtown, you know the one?  Fortunately, i know which grey door to meet her by.  So maybe at 9:45 tomorrow morning, the grinding wheels of progress will begin to turn again.  We went back to the Foxes for the evening, as this might be our last time to see them (ever?).  So we are now anxious to get home/sad to leave good friends.  Andrew, Vova, a new person Tanya, Misha and Inna for a while, were at the Foxes.  Vova brought his guitar and we discovered Andrew has more talents - he is quite good at playing and singing.  They made us sing the American National Anthem, and we talked them into singing the Ukrainian hymn.  Now we are trying to shift gears mentally, now that we may finally be leaving Romny.  We are so used to being disappointed, it is not sinking in that we may actually be on our way.  If it is a "go", much will happen in the next 48 hours.  We will try to keep you posted.

This was a quick picture as people were starting to get up from lunch today.
