Going forward

Hello from Sunday afternoon in Kiev. We hope you are enjoying your good Alabama weather, at least one of us is getting good weather. We are enjoying light snow. On Saturday, we were able to visit the boys briefly at their orphanage, and girl 'k' got to meet us there and spend the night with us at the apartment. Unfortunately the boys don't have the same privilege. When we got to the apartment, 'K' enjoyed trying on some clothes that we brought for her and showing us how good they looked. I think she really enjoyed hanging out with us. Kelsey has worked hard to help translate...

This morning we met with a group of believers in the south part of Kiev, where there were people from Africa, Australia, America, Ukraine, Italy, and a few other places. It was good to see the church reaching to the international community of Kiev, since it is a wide open area to let the gospel be carried to other nations. It was an English speaking gathering, and they were meeting in a painted and carpeted warehouse area. We are going after lunch to see the boys (with no translator), which is always interesting. We are thankful for some time with girl 'k' away from her orphanage and away from her usual network of a social worker or caregiver. We think she enjoys being with us, even if we can't communicate on everything. This is probably good practice for later for us, you know, point and do "cave man talk".

Blessings,
Chris and Vickie and Kelsey
