The appointment

Our first injury




















This morning at 11:00 AM, the adoption officials presented a number of options to us. Because there were no sibling-sets available that meet are requirements, we have chosen to visit a two and half year boy in the city of Khmelnitskiy which is about four hours west of Kiev. We are planning on meeting him on Wednesday.

Attending church yesterday was a special experience. This church was planted by an American church and is now operating independently and doing quite well. I was particularly impressed with the way the men sing in church. All of the men sang and sang well unlike yours truly in our church. As a matter of fact, some of the members were wondering why Tami and I were not singing. When they realized we were Americans, they cut us some slack. The highlight for the girls was the trip to the church. We took the subway which is very deep underground. It was at least 500 feet below the street.

Armstrongs,

Seems like things are beginning to happen for you all. We are praying for youse guys, your boy(s) and that the whole trip will be a great experience for the entire family. We know that God will provide. The photos are very cool. We are heading to Yellowstone and won't be back till the 29th of July - I'm sure by then things will have changed greatly. Will still try to keep track of you throug the blog.

Have a great time in Yellowstone. On Wednesday, I kept thinking about what you said Brice. Patience was key. See new blog post for details. Thanks for your comments and prayers. Gotta go.
