We are in Moscow!!!

Long plane ride, but we are here in the Marriott Hotel for some much needed sleep and a shower before we get on the train tonight. We were met right out of customs by our driver, a man that could drive that car through any type of traffic. I was so glad I couldn't see much but he really knew how to weave and fit in places the car didn't look like it would go! I had around three hours of sleep and I don't know if that will get any better tonight, so if you read this and if doesn't make sense, my mind is sleepy. We are staying at our translators house this week, and we are looking forward to it, and hope it will be good enough. Tomorrow we will meet the ministry of education, so please pray that all goes well. I can't wait until we meet Tatiana because that is probably the most on my mind. The Russian people seem very friendly and love having Americans come to their country.

I think it's amazing how a little shower can help your mind and body feel so much better. We are off to eat dinner because we slept through lunch, so i'm a little hungry. I hope to connect tomorrow!

Ephesians 3:16-19
16I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Hello Sis...
I am so excited for you. I love the phone call from ATL..I wanted to talk to you so bad and tell you how much I love you. I know that God with be blessing you both through this journey to see Tatiana! Mom tried to leave a recent comment but was unsuccessful, so she told me to express to you how she is praying for you all and can't wait to read your daily blog. She is so funny about getting on the Internet but you know her. It snow in Georgia today. It is 35%. Tell us more each day if you can connect, can't wait to hear about Tatiana and everything that you experience through this trip that God has provided for you both. Missy, I just want to leave my pray for you both.God please be with my sister and brother-in-law on this trip. This trip dear lord is to join a child of God with their family. They are so blessed by what you have already gave to them, a blessing named Luke. Now Lord they are looking for joy, confirmation, love, and your gentleness to guide them into Tatiana heart. Dear lord I want them both to know that we are all praying for them and that we know that this will be the story that start new stories of what you have honor for both of them to have in their life. Another child. And with this they will need strength and commitment to know what you alone can bring to the future in their life. Thank you lord for providing this opportunity to my sister and brother-in-law (scott) to give them a precious child like Tatiana to love and care for in your name. In your name. We love you lord and always take steps to know you personally to guide us each day. Be with them and protect them all. Amen. I love you sis. I am praying that everything will go smoothly. Miss you. Julie (SisterK)

Hi!

It is about 11am on Thursday and it is snowing. We expect about 1 inch. I saw Luke yesterday and he is doing well. Everything is fine here. We are praying for you and love you. See you soon!
