Hey, apparently I have the first post. :)
So we are here safe and sound! And Ukraine is beautiful! One of our bags with the craft supplies didn't show up but we aren't too worried yet. After arriving at the airport we met up with Julia and Sasha (our translators) who took us with our driver to Irpin (a nearby town where we are staying). I'm getting so distracted right now since our waitress at the restaurant where we are having lunch in Kiev keeps bringing drinks, food, spoons, etc :). Okay, just tried some fantastic ravioli! So, back on topic, we are touring Kiev today after a good sleep. Most of us are feeling well, though Sheri feeling rotten but seems to be enjoying the food and environment :) It is very good! And I'm having cappuccino :p Let's see what happens in half an hour!
We saw St. Michael's Cathedral and walked around a street with market booths on it, with typical Ukrainian souvenirs. After lunch we are going to the Chernobyl museum and Independence Square. The architecture is so cool and so old compared to ours.
Its been so great to be together as a team and especially spend time reading and reflecting this morning for devotions. We each sharing one word on how we were feeling and it was a good time to connect. Anyways, I'll get back to my lunch and Happy Canada Day everyone!

Glad to hear you're having a good first day, praying that Sheri can feel more like herself soon!
