Faces of Andriyevo

Posted Tuesday, May 22, 2007 8 am but these pictures were taken last week.Tanya's 4th grade class

Our girls and Olya with the housekeepers. Tatyana(on right) gave gifts to Morgan and Amber and will miss Lienna and Tanya greatly

A brother and sister. Nice kids.


Morgan with her puppy, Tanya with her lizard, and friends. Tanya loves nature and kept bringing home a variety of creatures. We saw her sneaking off to the forest a few times rather than going to class.

Siblings.

Just boys being boys. These are their school uniforms.


There was a litter of puppies that Morgan spent alot of time with. This puppies mother was protective of her litter around adults. But the kids could drag the puppies all around. I tried to take a picture of the girls with the dog and she came at me barking and growling. Tanya and the other little girls scolded her, hit her, and got her under control for the picture. There are lots of dogs everywhere in Ukraine. Little packs of dogs that bark alot at night.

Amber's Birthday

Tuesday, May 15, 2007

Amber was greeted this morning with birthday gifts from some of Lienna’s friends. She has an assortment of little stuffed animals, bracelets, soap, fresh flowers, cards, colors, coloring book and a big box of candy. Lienna even sang Happy Birthday in English. It was very thoughtful of these girls when they have so little. Seroge found a cake for her when he was in town so we shared that with some of the girls.

We have our preliminary court hearing set for Wednesday morning at 9:00 am. What we need now is our documents signed in Kiev today and delievered to us by morning. We also hope to have our official court hearing Wednesday after the preliminary hearing. This region requires both court hearings and we are hoping they will hold them on the same day. It is possible. Pray for the judge to be in a good mood and open to accomodating these details.

We have lined up housing for the next week and a half at the Odessa Theological Seminary. We are looking forward to having the process move forward and working our way through the official waiting period.

Thank you for the prayers for our health. God has provided very faithfully so far in this process. We would also appreciate prayer for the above details. All for now.
