Safe arrival in Kiev last night--check
Successful Medical Exam Thursday morning--check.
Successful Appointment at US Embassy--check.
Embassy computer network functioning properly today--check.
Yuri, Sasha and Katya issued Visas late afternoon Thursday--check.
The Berger and Weddington families make it through Kiev in one day!
It is 7 p.m. local time and tonight's post comes to you from an internet cafe in downtown Kiev.
We are absolutely thrilled! Praise God and thank you all for your prayers and support. Thanks also to the facilitators and translators who worked so hard to get us out of Ukraine this week. We are "extra" thankful because as of last night, we were pretty much resigned to the fact it would take two-days to get through Kiev, mainly due to a problem in the computer system. Meaning, we could not fly home until Saturday. Bummer. So, you can imagine our surprise and joy when an official at the Embassy said the network was working and they expected to have our Visas ready by end of day!!
All that is left to do now is find a flight home on Friday. As I write, we have a travel agent working on options. We will call/email once we know our arrival time back home--most likely Friday evening. Sorry, kids. You will not get to miss school. ;-)
