SHOUT TO THE LORD, ALL THE EARTH LET US SING . . .

Mountains bow down, because You are God! Thank you Lord for how You have worked everything out. We will continue to pray for the enemy to stay away and that this trip will run smoothly, and be fruitful. We will continue to look to You for our path and our strength. Thank you Lord, that Kristina's international passport is ready to be picked up today. Thank you Lord, that we have an appointment at the US Embassy for Tuesday, AM. Thank you Lord, that the boys get to drive directly from the airport straight to Kristina. Thank you Lord, for providing just enough for each step we have been on. Thank you Lord, for giving us a chance to love another. May we continue to be guided by You, and be a blessing in Kristina's life. May she come to know You, and trust in You some day, and hear Your voice in the plans You have for her life. Thank you Lord, for loving us first!

We are busy packing. How amazing all the donations have been to the orphanage. We have vacuum sealed clothing, but still have to watch the weight limits on the boxes. We are paying for one box to go, and have two other big boxes as the boys checked baggage. The orphanage will be so blessed! Thank you for caring and sharing what you have.

We will be leaving early tomorrow morning to drop the boys off for their flights out of Boston. Please keep praying for safe travel and good flights. David is very excited to go to another country. They will be very busy for the first 3 days, but God willing and everything goes smoothly, they will have two days to see Kiev. They may even get a chance to meet a very special friend we can talk about when they return. Once they are gone, Naomi, Matt and I will begin our 7 day count down. We will go to Boston and meet their late night flight, stay over night and drive home on Sunday. The day cannot come quick enough.

We are sending our love to all of you, and I apologize if I have forgotten anything, or not responded to mail or phone calls. I have tried to keep on top of things, but my mind has been a bit unfocused this week. That is what I have prayed for, clarity in what needs to be done. I think we are on track now. Matt and I will be busy at home, preparing our home the best we can. We look forward to seeing you all soon.

Grace and Peace,

Linda and family
