I wasn\u2019t sure how it would be to be back and to put my whole heart into the work after a long break like that. Friday, our team and chaplain Leonid went to Vuhledar with a group of press people to bring food parcels, fresh bread, and, most importantly, the Gospel. We haven\u2019t been in this frontline city for a few months, so it was time to go back.<\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\"><div dir=\"auto\">When we arrived I walked towards the group of people surrounding Leonid, and this one elderly lady saw me and her face just lit up! She opened her arms for a big hug, and when she stepped back she pointed to her head in an attempt to remind me of who she was. I remembered her immediately so I knew she was trying to say that she was the lady who I met there last time, who was wearing a dirty white beanie and we happened to be handing out blue beanies that day. When she got hers, she quickly took her old one off and put her new, pretty one on. She made sure we got a picture together!! She was so thankful that day, and just as much so this time when we were reunited!<\/div><div dir=\"auto\">She blessed my heart and brought so much revelation of why we are here, the desire to serve and the desire for people to hear God\u2019s word has been rekindled in my heart and spirit! I am so thankful for the opportunity to be back here with my amazing team!<\/div><\/div><div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\"><div dir=\"auto\"><a class=\"x1i10hfl xjbqb8w
