We finally posted the last entry we wrote in Russia and figured out how to download pictures. They are the previous posts and if you click on the pictures you can see in a larger size. Tom and I had to wear face masks because the orphanage was under quarantine for the H1N1 flu.

We are now working on getting visas and plane tickets for our next trip. We will be leaving Jan 10. Tom will not be able to go this time, so Bethany and I are going together. That should be quite the adventure. It is a bit scary for me to go without Tom, but I know God will be with us. It will be a stretching and growing time for me, but I'm glad I get to experience it with Bethany and I'm glad she will get to see the country where her two youngest sisters were born. We appreciate your prayers as we prepare for our last trip to Russia and that the transition for Dasha will go well.
