I can’t put any other words to it. How else can you say it?

My days of singledom are numbered!

I’m looking forward to tying the knot.

We’re taking the plunge and I’m changing my name!

Gettin hitched sounds great right now.

Seriously, I will be Mrs. Megan Roberts in a little over six months! Life just can’t get any better, except if maybe I was getting married tomorrow….

I will be marrying Lance Roberts this fall. I can’t wait to start a new journey together with Lance!

P.S. A good friend of both Lance and I offered to take some photos of the two of us around Ternopil. We had a lot of fun running around the parks taking photos! Thanks Masha!

Our 2013 school year has begun!

5 Staff and 1 student

As some of you know, this year we have just ONE amazing student. We started with several applications and people claiming that they will come, but slowly one by one people cancelled, their plans changed or I simply never heard from them again.

We spent time in prayer wondering if the school should continue? Should we cancel? Should we change the dates? We were inundated with questions and doubts.  As we prayed though, all doubt vanished. We were 100% sure that God wanted the school to continue no matter how many students came.

As the time drew near for the start of the school we had one student who seemed determined to come. I emailed her and let her know that she may be the only student and should feel free to reconsider if she did not want to do the school alone. I did not hear back for awhile, but when I did she wrote that she had bought her ticket here! Ok, I guess that means we have a school!

We of course have had to readjust lessons, activities, and plans to fit having only one student. Lucky for our student, she gets to have every lesson tailored to her needs. God made a way for her to be here financially and with other plans. It really is a miracle that she is here! She is so happy to be here and we are blessed to have her.

Just thought I would add a short video of the YWAM Ternopil staff singing happy birthday to me, a few days early! I was surprised that they had a cake for me! It was so yummy… carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. (Cream cheese is quite the treat here!)

On my birthday, I was served homemade bagels for breakfast, with Philadelphia cream cheese (you can’t buy bagels here and the only kind of real cream cheese is Philadelphia which is quite expensive.) I was surprised by this cake at our base intercession time. My friends made me dinner and dessert on my birthday and gave me some wonderful gifts! I was more than blessed to be with my dear friends!

A friend posted this video showing just how bad roads can get, especially after the winter. It’s 5 minutes long, but if you watch the first 2 minutes or so, you get the idea. It’s a “highway” from Ternopil to Lviv.

Remember my adventure on the road to Moldova? Just picture craters covering the road…

Just thought I would let people know that my dear friend and colleague, Joanne de Gruyl has started her own blog. It took us awhile to get everything figured out, but we managed and now she is able to update her family and friends back home.

She returned about a month ago from a trip to India and has lots to share. You can read all about her travels and adventures on her blog, click HERE to read all about it!
