I hope I did a Super Pooper job!

You heard right- a Super Pooper job! This is what Ukrainians say instead of 'super-duper'.  Apparently, the word duper is a bad word in Ukrainian so they say 'pooper' instead.  Tell me how this is any better? I could not stop laughing when my friend told me this the other day!

Yesterday was the last day of classes with the students.  We had a closing ceremony where all students were presented with their certificates and outstanding students were recognized.  Each group of students was in charge of making a skit/song/dance together.  Each act was interesting.  All the teachers sang a farewell song accompanied by Linda playing the flute.  We each prepared a short farewell speech for the students.  It was sad to say goodbye to the students but they promised to keep in touch.  Even after only 2 weeks with them, I felt attached to them.  I'm excited because some of them will enroll in LCC in the coming year.

Today the teachers will take a bus to Kiev and some of us will spend the day there. Then I will be meeting up with friends in nearby towns to stay with them for a few days. Then I'll be visiting a friend in Belgium for a couple of days. I won't be in Hungary until the 17th when I will meet the rest of the team. Pray for safe travels!

We let off a lantern in the city's Valley of Roses.  There were 2000 that were lit that night. It was beautiful!
