Dobre den to all my Americanski friends!
Today is our last day in Vinnistya. We were supposed to leave yesterday morning, but, because Jim Miller and I were sick, we weren't able to. Today, we are feeling well enough to travel, though.
So far, I have spent over 20 hours in vans on bumpy roads, touched about 100 children, and given medical help to easily 3 times that. This trip has been a hard one for me- but in some ways it was easier than before... I will explain more when I get home ; )
Thank you so much for praying for me & my team. These prayers have kept me going when I wanted to give up. I praise God for you all and am praying for you (4 hour van rides are good for prayer).
I love you all and hope to see you soon!
LeAnna
ps. I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Prayer Requests:
For God to continue to speak to me, especially about my future in his kingdom
The van drive to Kiev is 4 hours long- I think it's self explanatory
We are having relational problems with our main interpreter, please pray that she would have joy and would not be frustrated easily (also that we would know how to communicate the best with her)
Mr. Miller and I aren't well yet, and Jane thinks she's getting sick.
Rest, Joy, and Peace.

Speciba soooo much for your prayers- remember, you are part of a battle! Thank you!

Status Report 09-01-06

I'M IN UKRAINE!!! YAY YAY YAY !!! Yeah, so it's been really hard the past few days. I think I've cried more than I have in the course of 6 normal months! Yikes- anyways, God is working, so the tears are okay.
Please continue to keep me in your prayers - I leave Vinnitsa in 2 days and it is hard for me to leave (this is where most of our ministry time takes place). Also, I still feel that there is much more to be accomplished - please pray for wisdom on my part to know what to pray and do.
I love you all- thank you so much for supporting me!
