Russ Woodbridge is one of our missionaries serving in Ukraine. The following note was recently on his family’s blog, and reveals some of the more bizarre hazards that come when you sign yourself up for life overseas. It could be worse, of course.
We are officially famous in Ukraine now. Well, sort of. The second picture was taken by our friend, Joe Ragan, while driving through Kremenchug on his way to Kiev. The caption on the billboard says in Ukrainian something like, “Solid Family – Strong Ukraine,” which made us laugh even harder. Apparently I did not look like a Cossack or Ukrainian, so they changed my facial hair. We are waiting to see this advertisement in Kiev and are grateful that we are not advertising for vodka or something else. And no, we had not idea our photo was ripped off for the billboard. Someone said that we could take them to court. Now that is really funny if you know how the courts operate in Ukraine.
