We have been so blessed to make a new friend. Her hospitality, helpful insights, and navigating directions have been extremely helpful. She has even put us in contact with a local in our adoptive city. It is a HUGE blessing to have a local help us navigate the city. Being able to understand and utilize public transportation will likely give us much more freedom and allow us to move around without the expense of a driver. This is likely to be a big savings for us. Praise God for new friends in new places!
We had a successful SDA appointment yesterday. Todd was able to squeeze in an appointment at the US Embassy to prepare necessary paperwork so that he can depart for the US on Feb. 8th before the whole process is completed (Jenny, Jaden, & Kellen will remain to complete the process as only one parent is required to remain for the duration).
Today we hope to obtain our written "referral" to visit Anya, Tanya, and Ruslan. If we are able to get our referral by about 4pm (local time) then we should be able to make a train to where the children's orphanage is located.
If you're still awake, please pray that we will:
-Obtain our referral with time to spare to make the train
-Have our logistical details of housing, navigating the city, and scheduling court dates all come together without hinderance
-Continue to find favor with all of the people with whom we are working to complete the adoption
-Fulfill our opportunities to minister the love of Christ to those we come in contact with
Thank you for your continued prayers. We are so thankful for our Faithful God, a loving family and encouraging church family.
