R and R

Today we are going on a retreat. I don't know much about it other than we will be gone overnight, returning late on Wednesday. They have promised a big fireplace to sit by, time to relax and reflect, and a sauna "if there is enough electricity"! LOL. I'm not really sure what that means, but am not too concerned about whether there is a sauna or not... Right now I'd settle for hot water. Our building has been without hot water since late yesterday, for the first time since our arrival.

The day today appears to be like Michigan's weather yesterday, a beautiful sunny fall day! The trees here are almost bare from the rains of Sunday and Monday, but the golden leaves are scattered all around the ground and a few are clinging to the trees in desperation.

Please pray with me that I will take the opportunity to reflect on so many opportunities and emotions that I have experienced since arriving here in Kiev. I am excited to get away and have yet another cultural experience... Their version of a retreat!
