Well it was good to hear from so many of you and receive your blessings! Paula and I are packing for a very interesting trip. When was the last time you took a trip to a country for 5 weeks and you needed to take toilet paper! Needless to say we are having a hard time fitting 5 weeks into 1 bag.
Our plan is to update this blog at least every 2 days ( depending on the internet connection we can find).
As a general overview of our travel we will be going first to Kiev, Ukraine for 4 days where we meet with the SDA and choose a little girl from a picture book. Next we will travel to the orphanage where she is located and spend 10 days getting to know her through a translator.
Then there will be a break. This is a big unknown at this point. Could be 5 days or 20. In the latter case we will probably try to get back home for a short stint.
After this break we should ( if everything goes as planned) start the passport, medical part of things. This should be about 5 days.... then home we come.
We will miss Grace terribly, but she needs to stay in school. Aunt June and Helene will be holding down the fort while we are gone.
Here we go..... Thursday
Cheers,
MR
