5 Nights Left

We have 5 nights in our beds before we leave to go to Ukraine to meet our daughter. Our appointment with the DAP (former SDA) is on Tuesday at 11:00 am. Then, Lord willing, we will go back on Wednesday to receive our referral documents and hop on the train for our 15 hour ride. We will arrive in K's region on Thursday and we are praying we get the blessing of meeting her that day.   She still has not been online since she moved to trade school, so she has no idea that we are coming.  We are very excited and blessed that God chose us for this path. 

We ask for you to pray for:

1) safe travels - on both the planes and train

2) calm hearts (we have never travelled internationally before)

3) favor with the people at DAP

4) K's desire to still join our family

5) favor with the orphanage/trade school director

6) speedy court date

7) favor with the judge

8) joy in being God's hand and feet

9) F to have a calm heart while we are away

10) grandparents adjust well to caring for a toddler, full-time 

11) we may show Christ's Holy Spirit in us throughout our journey

12) continued and unwavering trust in our Lord's plan

Thank you all for your prayers and following our journey. God has been so good to us. We are excited to see what will be next. 

I will also share that J and I had one last "Date Night". It was so special to spend time together. J took my out for ice-cream. Yep, we were living it up, haha!
