Moving Day

Just a quick note, this morning we moved to an apartment just around the corner from Kostya’s. It belongs to a family from Florida who have been here for 6 years doing missionary work with the local hospital (abandoned children) and establishing a church here in the local neighborhood. We met the wife and 2 of her children (the 8yr boy was adopted from here) and they are very sweet. The husband just returned to the states to help with hurricane relief and resupply. We were going to her church this morning, but I have a touch of the stomach “stuff”, not too fun.

This will probably be “home” for a little while because our situation is this, Edward is in Donetsk and Elizabeth is in Torez (sp?) and we are in Gorlovka. It’s like a triangle, I imagine it as New Bern/Morehead City/Jacksonville trip and logistically, it will be easier to stay here and travel as required.

Paris and Nicole would never survive this episode of The Simple Life, so please keep the comments coming, it makes our day. More pictures coming soon, probably later today. For the true techies, I Bluetooth to our GPRS/GSM cell phone for Internet connectivity basically anywhere I can get a signal (only about $1 per 1Mb so no timed connection worries). We love our boys and wonderful family, just pray specifically for timing and our travels as tomorrow is Meeting Day!

  • Hi Jen and Jeff! I love the pictures you've been sending. It is amazing that you can share the daily details of your adventure with all of us through pictures and commentary. I am so glad to hear that you are ever so close to meeting the children. I hope you will be able to take pictures of them tomorrow. You all are on our minds constantly. Keep that good stuff coming! Love, C,A,C,& C

  • Hey guys,
    I just figured out how to look at the pictures. I'm such a dork. I kept thinking, What pictures are they talking about. You both look great. Jen, your hair looks so long. I like it! Nothing new happening in the good ol' USA. Everyone looking for someone to blame for the disaster in NO. In the meantime people are starving to death. The Cowboys have won two preseason games, so you know I'm happy. Beth, Clark, and the girls are good. Cathryn made the A volleyball team, and Brooke made the National Cheer squad. Her hip seems to be doing a lot better. Probably not the kind of stuff to post on your blog, but I do it anyway. Take care. We love you guys, and can't wait to read about what's happening each day. It's more addictive than The OC.
    Sally
