Last Days

 What’s up America! It’s been real. It’s been too legit to quit, but now we must quit. We spent some good times here in Lviv and around, and we’re grateful for the times we’ve had together and apart. [We love Max]

Even though we have loved being here, many of us are ready to come home to our beautiful mommies.

This time in Viking Bay has been peaceful and relaxing [with Max]. We’ve finally gotten to fulfill our dreams of playing soccer in Europe at a nice indoor facility at the resort. At camp, the Christ Fellowship team (Clayton and Skyler) was super disappointed because nobody wanted to play. #nosoccer

Johnny Dalton Hargis has managed to grow his beard for the entire trip and beyond. #props #welldone

Before the camp split, we all got haircuts, and some of us dyed our hair. #lightningbolts #bleach

As you can see, some of us have also been missing our social media. #hencethehashtags #everyone

There were some intense rec games that we played that we hope to bring back to America. Be ready for shirt pulling, aggressiveness, and Ukrainian strength in many varieties of games. #americaneagle123 #winniethepooh

I just can’t wait to enjoy some fast food and unlimited ice water. #chipotle #burgers #smoothies #chickfilasauce #FREEREFILLS

The food here has been pretty good but it will be nice to not have potatoes and dill at every meal. Some items will be missed though, like Vareniki and juice! Some other favorites include borscht, “Chicago Style” Pizza, and definitely the good ole’ Silpo runs!

We made some good connections with Ukrainians and it will be difficult to leave them. We just pray that our work here has been fruitful and will remain long-lasting.

Tonight we will spend some time together in a Russian sauna, whipping each other with leaves and branches. #experience

Connor: This was my first time away from Trevor for more than 24 hours. It was interesting and I definitely missed seeing his beautiful face in the morning when I woke up. Clayton did okay at filling the gap for the week we were apart. #newexperience

Simon: This has been the first time I’ve been away from my family for more than a week. I really miss you all. #icantwaittoseeyou

The biggest disappointment in going home is separating from Jacky and Joseph. They will be missed a ton back in America!

Aside from some small pranks, the last day in Viking Bay is being spent doing nothing and just relaxing. See you all soon!

Skyler, Clayton, Johnny, Jacky, Connor, Simon
