We feel your prayers

We are in Voronezh in case some of you do not know. Our train ride was very good and we slept most of the way. Everything is running like clockwork and we feel very comfortable. We had a very good day yesterday meeting the ministry of education. He was very nice and let us take pictures of him. Later that day, we had a tour of the city. There is a whole story here, but I will have to save that for later. I am using a computer in our facilitator's home. We are staying here with her and her daughter who speaks very good english, and she is so funny and cute.

The biggest news is we went to the orphanage to meet Tatiana today, and it was wonderful. Everyone treated us so nice and we had two meals prepared for us with the asst. director. She was very friendly and laughed a lot. They brought Tatiana in to meet us and I held it togehter pretty good. (that is one answer to pray), and she was adorable, and both of us fell in love with her. It was very hard to leave her there, but she is in good hands until we bring her home. Later, we will post some pictures from the back so you can get an idea of her. She is very small and wears a 3T slim or some 2T. She warmed up to us quickly and we had many hugs and kisses. I was able to meet the other children in her group and see where she sleeps and eats and goes potty. We are very tired, very long day for all of us. There is so much to write, but not the time now.

Thank you for praying for us. Tomorrow we see the MOE again to sign papers to adopt her, and Nick will take us around to shop, and then we will be back on the train going back to Moscow.

Thanks to everyone for checking in. We are reading your posts and they are giving us much needed love and prayers. We feel it all the way here because we have a very big God!
