A couple of days ago, Kim and the kids came to our area of Odessa to visit. The kids had a great time. We went to McDonalds and then to the park to play. There was a trampoline that the kids enjoyed jumping on and a playground. Do you remember the merry go rounds? They were always so much fun. Do you remember falling off of one? I think we all had to do it at least once. Well, Justin was no different. He looks worse than it actually was and don't worry I did comfort him. He didn't get hurt but he ended up covered in dirt! He laughed after he saw what he looked like! I think initally he was in shock that he flew off. Do you think that is why merry go rounds aren't around much more? We are still having a time of getting the orange face paint off his face. We had a fun visit with the Clarks.
James 1:27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

Hope you are home soon. Can't wait to see you all on American soil.

I continue to anticipate your homecoming and just can't wait to meet Justin! God is so good and it has been a joy to watch you grow through all of this from the very first night I met you. You are no longer the same woman. I am so proud of our God!
Can't wait til you guys are home, it's been awesome to read about the journey. What a blessing it is to bring Justin home after all of the challenges you have faced. Can't wait to meet my new nephew!!
Love,
Aunt Roni
Just found your blog. We were in Odessa last December and January. We also were in the Odessa Suites apartments. We are glad you met our friends the Wolff's and the Push's. It is always encouraging to share with others who are on the same journey. God bless and we hope you return home soon.
Pam -
Who are the Clarks? Did they also adopt kids from Justin's orphanage? I recognize the girl and boy in the pics of you all at McDonald's. The girl was friends with our Anastasia. We have pics of her from our time at that orphanage.
I got your email about Skyping. I'm trying to get it set up. I'll let ya know when I have it working so we can talk.
Praying for you all,
Wendi Z.
