It is 6 p.m. in Odessa. We received a favorable decision today from the child protection board re Yuri's property. We have Yuri's passport and airline tickets to Kiev. Our plane departs at 9:40 p.m., Odessa time and arrives in Kiev at 10:50 p.m.. We also had success closing Yuri's bank account. It was worth it, Yuri is providing funds to both Babushka and his brother, Viktor.
In Kiev, we are sharing a large apartment (3 bedrooms, living room) with the Weddington family. We plan to have Yuri's medical examination in the morning. We hear the US Embassy is having issues with their computer connection to Washington D.C. We pray this does not interfere with getting out of Kiev by Friday.
We lost our internet connection today and so, I am borrowing the Becker's internet to make this post. I am uncertain what kind of internet access we will have in Kiev. We will post when we can. If you don't hear from us via the blogg, keep checking back we will offer more picture posts as soon as we regain high-speed access--even if that means posting from home after we return. ;-)
Prayer Request - For safe travel tonight to Kiev. For computer system at the Embassy to function.
Praise - For everything!

How about celebrating your return with a Key Lime Pie. I have one in the freezer. Mom
Jesus!!! It is now about 1 hour bHallelelujah and thank you efore your plane takes off for Kiev. I am praying right now for your safe travel and thanking God that you're free at last (from Odessa) I can just feel your relief to finally be moving ahead to the next and final steps. I know I KNOW that God's time is the right time, but is it ever hard to remember that when you just want to go home. But now you are on your way and we are so happy for you! Praying for extra speed through Kiev and we'll see you soon!!!
