London

Hello Everyone!
I would've rather done this on facebook but for some reason the computer i am using in London Heathrtow Airport won't let me get to facebook. I apologize for all the spelling errors as the keyboard is a little bit different and it is messing me up!
We arrived in London from the Ukraine on the 6th of August and now we are heading back home tongiht. It is funny because our flight leaves at 5:10 and and gets in at 6:30 although it is actually a 9 hour flight. I am very overtired and am NOT looking forward to it!

At camp in the Ukraine, we met so many amzing kids and had such a great time. We were able to pass out bibles although we did tick the camp epople off quite a bit. This camp was very communist and had a large statue of Lenin right outside of the dining hall. So, on North american day when we handed out bibles, read Psalm 139 and did a drama that had a cross as one of the props got us in big trouble! We really overdid it by handing out bibles on the same night. That is always myfavourite part because they all want you to sign it and they treasure the bible because it is from the internationals which makes is more likely that they will actuially read it. We gave out several childrens bibles and Fred Lutsenko who is Vice President of the organisation told us that many of the kids's goal was to finissh reading their bibles before we left. It was very encouraging.

Among the freinds i made, there were several special ones. Of course, the other three teens from the international team: Liz, Ivory and Carson. We have a 'band' which really isn't a band because all we do is pose for 'band' pictures. It's either called LICK (for Liz, Ivory, Carson, Kyla) or Johnny and the Chiclets. We can't decide. There was also the drama team called Chance Studio from Russia. All 9 of them were awesome! There is 8 girls (Janna, Lena, Ksusha, Marina, Tanya, Anya, Nastya, Nastya (and yes, there was 2 Nastyas)) and one boy named Egor. The girls always say his name with such disgust if he bothers them so Ivory, Liz and I got quite a kick out of trying to say his name like the girls do. They say it Yegorrrr, roilling the r.
Well, i better go, but i will see everyone soon hopefully.
Chao for now!
