We are not leaving Odessa tonight. At one point this afternoon, we thought we may not be able to depart Ukraine until next week! (That was the dark and angry moment of the day.) However, that was only a misunderstanding. Our people tell us they will have us out of Odessa Wednesday night and out of the country by no later than Friday. We should be happy at this news but, honestly, we are so worn down and disappointed over events from this last week that we are kind of numb right now.
To recap, we did not get Yuri's passport today, we did not get a decision on his property and we were unable to close out his bank account. We expect to have all three of these items accomplished tomorrow. Our facilitator and translator are working very hard and doing everything they can for a quick resolution to our problems. FYI... Yuri has been great through all of the waiting that we have had to do lately. He has not asked us "Are we there yet?" even once!
Prayer Request -I think the prayer request should remain the same. That Renee and I have patience, understanding and wisdom. For efficiency in both Odessa and Kiev. Safe travels and for decent lodging in Kiev. And, tonight, I want to remind you to pray for our kids back home and Grandma Rose who is caring for them. Thank you.

Not to discourage you - our daugther also had property - we left without doing anything about it - we were in country 58 days and just wanted to get home. It just wasn't worth it.
