Yesterday we took the bus and subway over to the Monastery, then up to the Museum at the Iron Lady...
The Iron Lady is a statue that the soviets built facing to Moscow, to remind everyone where government... Now she stands on guard protecting them from Moscow....
There is a large museum dedicated to the war. It is a very moving place... All around there are some beautiful brass sculptures depicting the suffering that took place here.
Today we Met with Ed and his family and after lunch we went to the open air museum.. It is like a pioneer village. After a nice afternoon exploring, we went back to the boat and went swimming.... We then traded Bekah for Amy and we went for pizza and Bekah went with Eds family for sushi.....
Tomorrow we will head for Kreveroge for a few days... We will be touring some of the orphanages and other projects that Ed is involved with here in the Ukraine. Jonathon will be playing tour guide from this point on as Ed and the rest of his family will be returning to Canada.

Good to see that they are using non nuclear power generation. Makes me want to hug a tree :)
I've been trying to put our recent Youth Missions trip straight in my mind. And thats the problem, my mind, or at least trying to equate God's values in my own thinking, it can not be done. One can only equate our time here in this world in values of relationships with each other. In a value of fellowship, that is the example of Jesus, ALL He wants is fellowship with us before we can followship. Thank you for your undevided attention while we were in Kyrgyzstan to allow us to understand how to be a real ACTS 2 church,
Blessings on your further adventures,
Dan :)
The heritage village place is one place I had hoped to see but it was closed during our wintertime trip. Your pictures are bitter sweet. Safe travels. Rita
