Packing, Packing, Packing...

We're packing. And washing. And packing some more. And running to the store to pick up stuff, like an extra deoderant since, well, you never know when you'll run out and I certainly don't know the Russian or Ukranian word for "deoderant".

The big suitcase is 48 lbs...so I think that means it's full! :)

We had a great time of prayer with our friends at Jim and Kari's house last night. Thanks Volfs for hosting that!

11:46 AM tomorrow we'll be in the air and on our way. Hard to believe we've finally arrived at this point. Please keep praying for our kids while we are away. They will be in good hands, but will certainly be experiencing some stress in their lives while we're away.

Please also pray for the kids we will meet and the Ukranian officials with whom we come in contact. We want the process to go smoothly, but we also want to shine the light of Jesus to all.

Thanks for thinking of us over the next several weeks.
