First posting and trip dates

Well it is just over a week now before we head off to the Ukraine.
I will be sending messages to this blog hopefully throughout the whole trip.
The Dates for the trip are:

• And on to the three villages of Gyula, Akli and Oj Akli
• Arriving at the villages late evening

Tuesday 8th August

On the way out and on the way back I will, God and Technology willing, email as we complete each stage on our journey. I know that many of you will be praying for these key parts: that we get there safely and that we get back safely.

Whilst there I will probably email the blog once a day probably in the evening.

We really appreciate your prayers and thoughts for us. You can also pass your comments / messages of encouragement / questions to me and all readers of the blog by pressing the comments button at the bottom of each of my messages. We would love to hear from you.

OK that's enough for now ...
