We are five days away from our departure to Moscow, and I am in the process of trying to fit everything in a carry-on piece of luggage! Those of you who know me are probably laughing at this. I am known to overpack a bit for all those "in case" situations. So this is truly an adventure for me!
Today I went to the travel clinic at our doctors and escaped the vaccinations they wanted me to get (they'll need to be updated for trip two)but I did walk out with my Cipro prescription (for 'just in case' sickness).
We have secured our clean cash--new bills with no folds or markings; purchased three outfits for her to try on for sizing, along with a Build a Bear with our voices in its paws and other toys for us to play with; and bought postcards of where we live to give to her caregivers. We have our warm clothes and dress clothes for our Minister of Education appointment ready to go. And I have packed meds for ALL the 'in case' moments. Steve is working on making sure we will have all computer and phone capabilites once we are there. And he is putting together a little photo album of us/our home to leave with her.
Please keep us in your prayers---we feel your love and support during this incredible time in our life. What would we do without the family of God?
with much love,
Karen
"Don't be afraid! For the Lord your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty Savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With His love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."

Karen,
I haven't seen your name on the AW site and I was hoping you would be in contact while in Russia. I pray everything went good for you and your husband. Both of you have been in our thoughts and prayers.
