Where I am now…
Two weeks before I left Amsterdam, I received an email from Ukraine. Last semester when I was looking for a place to do my internship I applied at the Shelter and at a Methodist student center in L’viv, Ukraine.
My heart had been set on going to Ukraine from the beginning and I began studying Russian because it was somewhat close to Ukrainian. Then my plans fell apart when the missionaries informed me that they would be moving back to the states and wouldn’t be taking interns in the meantime. Jesus knew what he was doing. I learned so much working at the Shelter and I know it was supposed to be this way.
The email from Ukraine was from the missionaries and they told me that they were looking for an intern to come and work for the summer until they found missionaries to take their place.
Here I sit in my apartment in L’viv. It is raining outside, it’s 10:30pm, and my Ukrainian friends are sitting at the kitchen table, drinking tea and coffee by candle light because our kitchen light burned out, and laughing at something I can’t understand. I smile and soak it in. Life is funny sometimes. I had my plans to spend three months in Amsterdam, travel for a bit and go home. It will be over seven months by the time I step foot on American soil.

Интересно написано, но как говорится, для точного представления нужно как минимум три источника :)
