It is not the same without Mama here! We sure miss Rachel, and she has been terribly sick at home. Yet, life goes on here and we continue to have struggles getting the replacement passport for Viktor. Please pray for us as we really need things to start moving quicker!
It has been fun having Dad here (aka Dedushka)....he seems to really enjoy being here and I know the kids love him already. Yesterday was filled with paperwork, walking, eating, and our highlight: visiting the History museum. It is filled with amazing artifacts going back thousands of years before Christ. It took us a good 2 hours to visit and we especially liked the really old stuff and the WW2 displays. Perspective is always good when you face trials. Seeing some pictures of death & destruction does just that.
Each night we have our family devotions - and this is always a highlight of the day. Hearing the kids pray simple prayers is heartwarming and often brings tears to the eyes. Seeing them soak up the Gospel is a privilege.
So as you can see, each day is joyous. Each day is a challenge. Each day we rely upon the Lord Jesus Christ for strength.
