We're here!

We are at our hotel in Nizhny Novogrod. We are tired but had a fairly uneventful trip. We had a very nice brief tour of Red Square today in Moscow after arriving there and while waiting for our plane trip to Nizhny. We toured inside St. Basils cathedral, which was built in 1492. It was amazing walking in a building that was build the year Columbus came to America. We meet with the Minister of Education in the morning (Monday am) and expect to be offered an official referral on Wednesday.

Our 11 hour flight from Chicago to Moscow seemed to go very fast. We had exit row seating and so had extra room to stretch out.

We appreciate your prayers for safety and wisdom and for our kids back home.

I thought I already posted this but will re-type it. I wanted you to know that we got Anjaela to camp this morning. I gave her a hug before I left. She, Maija, and Erika were enjoying themselves when we left. I enjoy reading how you are doing. God's blessings to you two.
