In Ukraine

Greeting from Ukraine.

We love you C,J,T,J. Call us anytime.
We are enjoying our time here. The flight over was great. It went faster than expected. Mike was actually able to get some sleep on the ride over from the JFK airport. Our facilitator was at the airport in Kiev ready and waiting for us as well as a friend of ours. After arriving we went to our friends house/flat where we are able to stay and relax. They made an awesome lunch for us ( Pelmeni) Chicken dumplings with potato, parsley and carrot. Later on we went to some friends of theirs for dinner which was great and some wonderful conversation with some missionaries. We look forward to finding out what time our appointment is. We should find out on Monday. Hopefully the paperwork will all be in order so that we can go to Sevestopol on Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.

Talked with Mike's mom today. She is doing fine and had some news for us from the home front. Our oldest daughter tried out for cheerleading and made the squad (Yiipppeee!!) on Friday the day we left. Meanwhile our youngest son performed exceptionally well while playing for his flag football team. Grandma says she screamed her head off as he scored touch downs.

Please give our kids big hugs for us when you see them.
Prayer requests
That we will get our referral paperwork for O and ? same day as appointment.
We will get court date quick.
Judge will waive 10 day wait.

Well, thats all for today. We will update after Tuesday our appointment.

Paka (bye in Russian)
Love you all, love us.
