Trying to find things to do to pass the time as we wait for passports. Once we get them, off to Kiev by train, then medical exams and American Embassy for visas and Lord willing, fly home on Wednesday September 16!!! After a long, hot day at the zoo, our missionary friends Rob and Denyce called and invited us over for dinner. This is how the Lord is sustaining me. I was sooooo thankful as our flat is two rooms and it is hard to keep them preoccupied with only a few things to do and the language barrier doesn't help, but the boys are using more english words. George hasn't gotten back to me on tutoring, so that has been a bummer. Anyway, the much needed encouragement of being with english speaking Christians, who speak Russian and can talk with my boys was the boost I needed. We visited and the boys played with all the toys and seemed to be content. We took the metro home, all by myself, with help from Rob's directions! Today we will spend the day at Rob and Denyce's!! I am so happy about the plan!! Tatiana will call me today if the passports are ready, we have been praying it will be so. If not, they will be ready on Monday and we will leave for Kiev on Tuesday and hopefully arrive home on Friday September, 18!
Thank you sooooo much for your comments and prayers, I look forward to them as they bring me to tears, longing for home and all my family and friends.
Please pray for perseverance and expedition of paperwork!!!!!!
I love you all and can't wait to see you!

Hey Carlson clan,
ReplyDeleteIt's encouraging to hear how God is providing for your every need and bringing a little sanity into an overwhelming situation. The Mcecks are still very excited to meet these guys and welcome you all back home. Praying for passports!

Lana! As it get's closer to school starting and the days I am sure to see your cheery face around the school, I am growing even more anxious to meet those sweet boys of yours!!! You are now the proud mama of FIVE children! Be patient, the end is near. Even through adoption there is labor pains and you are in transition, the time when you aren't sure if it will really end. Do not lose hope!!! We are praying for you and our children have LOTS of questions for Peter and Viktor :)
ReplyDeleteLove and Blessings~
