Third Day Together

Day Three together as family was quite successful in that we got the rest of the medical specialists visited. They all signed off on us as being healthy enough to adopt Jessica and Sam. A few of them wondered why we were doing this! It is hard to explain the real reason (God called us to do it), so we just say something like we fell in love with them in April and want to take them home! That’s the truth, too!

We also got their pictures taken for visas to come back to America. We did some shopping for a few needed things as well as some entertainment to fill up some of the long days we have ahead of us as we finish everything here in Russia and head home in two weeks. Russian/English DVD movies are only 30p. (just a little over a dollar) here! CD’s are a little more (about $3), but still a great buy! The kids picked out a movie each, and a CD each, and Vadim assures us that their choices are clean! We believe him.

Speaking of Vadim, our translator and guide in Penza, he is a kick! We are really enjoying our time with him. His English is excellent and his humor is great. He is a wonderful blessing.

We’ll post some more pictures as soon as we can get the pictures to upload!

Blessings,

Glen, Cyndy, Nathan, Jessica and Sam
