It’s Orthodox Christmas today in Ukraine. We got to see N today after missing her yesterday. We had been invited to a Christmas program at the orphanage that was scheduled for yesterday at 3. It was rescheduled for today at 2, but we missed the memo. Oh well! It was no big deal. She was feeling pretty bad today. She has a cold. The weather is very cold. I just checked the temperature and it’s 24 here tonight with a wind chill of 17. It couldn’t have been above 50 degrees in her room this evening when we were at the orphanage. We just hate leaving her there, especially when she is sick. We just want to wrap her up, get her warm, and take care of her. It stinks! I know we don’t have much more time to wait, but the time seems to be passing so slowly! We appreciate your prayers for her. We also learned that one of the boys, K, who was with us in our hosting program is in the hospital with a bad cough. We don’t know anything more, and it’s not unusual for kids to be hospitalized from the orphanage to keep from spreading an illness throughout the orphanage. Please pray for him. We’ll try to find out more as soon as we can. We miss everyone at home! Blessings, Rick
