Day 10

Today, we survived another couple of taxi rides; though a few times I think we traded paint. At least one of them had air conditioning. We rode to the SDA and waited by St. Andrews for the SDA to return from lunch. We reviewed more profiles and were updated with more information on the profiles we saw before. As you know, Jennifer and I have been in prayer about this entire process, even as we were looking at pictures and hearing the information. Tomorrow evening, we will be traveling to Kramatorsk, Donetsk (City/State) and will be visiting Victoria (age 7) and Angelina (age 4). They both are in good health, as much good health as any child could be in an orphanage. I don't have any pictures as they wouldn't let me take any but Victoria looks similar to Jennifer’s childhood pictures and Angelina looks a bit like Noah. We will be taking the train overnight; leaving around 6:40pm (11:40am ET) and will arrive 7:00am (12am ET). About 75% of the population of Donetsk speaks Russian including Victoria and Angelina.

Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! We are headed out to the orphanage city! We have our girls identified and we continue to pray that we will quickly bond with the girls. Thank you for your prayers but keep them coming!
