Moving along....

Today was a pretty good day. We got up this morning and went to pick our facilitator up before going to the orphanage. N seemed a little more calm today. Still pretty hyped up, but better than yesterday. We made the decision just to visit him once today. The evening visitng time seems to be at a bad time for the workers. They take the kids out for a little time outside and then settle into a nightly routine. We really feel like we are in the way, and we are sure that he must be a handful as they are settling the kids down for the night. I hope he will not be too anxious at the schedule change. We will see him in the morning, and I am sure that will help us all. Erick has missed getting to see him tonight, so we'll see how things go after tonight before we make this a perminant routine.

As for paperwork, we are hopeful that our facilitator will get things tomorrow that will allow her to submit our paperwork to the SDA on Friday. That still leaves a chance of making our court date on the 12th. We are praying that this will be the schedule.

We are getting to know the town a little more. We ate in a pretty good resturant. It looks like it will be a place we can go often. We alos think we have a solution for the time when our facilitator is in Kyiv. The man that has been driving for us has a daughter who is majoring in English at the university. She is on a break, and we have plans to hire her as a translator for the 5-7 days while our facilitator is gone. I hope that will make the family back home rest a little easier!!!!

All in all, we are doing well. We hope to settle into a routine in the next few days that will make things a little more predictable (easier).

Thanks for checking on us and praying for us! We are anxious to get back home and see you all!
