Many people have expressed interest in contacting us and sending packages. Below is a smorgasbord of our contact information followed by a list of wants, both for the student center and us (honestly, we don’t really have any needs).
The following address is our P.O. Box in L’viv. This address is fine for sending cards and letters (please do not send packages to this address, they will be pillaged).
David and Shannon Goran

This address is our physical home address. This is where we would prefer you send anything bigger than a letter. It is still not a good idea to use the Ukrainian postal service, we would prefer you use MEEST. We have used MEEST before and they are a reliable shipping company with very comparable rates. You can visit their website here.

Hi Shannon,
Not sure if you remember me. We were living in Ukraine when you came for that first visit in 2003.
Congratulations on your wedding and good luck in your post in Lviv.

Something is coming …… from US!!
Hi SHannon-
So sorry it has taken me so long to send a note. It’s been pretty busy around here. We still have JaJuan , Jalissa ans William and we are looking at adopting them.
We are stuck home today. Yesterday was a snow day- 1/2 of snow?? and today we have ice – not much but enough to keep the kids home. We are excepting 3-4 inches of snow, but I haven’t seen any yet. I better watch it- i could be stuck at home all week!!!
I hope all is well with you. I would love to see some pictures of where you are at.
I looked over your “need” list- is that still current???
Hey Dave and Shannon,
God bless you both! Think about you. Adam Strauser and I were talking about you the other day. How you must be hating it that there is nothing to shoot. Plenty to shoot here I saw two fields the other day swarmed with deer. Oh and I ate some deer jerky last weekend and that reminded of the time we groun deer meet in my living room. love you guys. Say hello if you get time.

Hey Josh,
I saw a nice sized rat the other day and I am thinking if I get a good location with a high concentration I may have a go with a pellet gun. The meat won’t be as good, but whatever. Maybe I make it home this year for a go on some deer. Peace man and god bless. Really good to hear from you!
David & Shannon,
Thanks for getting in touch with all of us! We miss you! We love the blog and will now know better how to pray. Take care of each other!
Blessings!
