2 weeks and counting

Yesterday was a slow day.  We visited the kids.  There was a church group that came up to spend the day with the kids.  They had a picnic for them, and then some of us went down to a creek where the kids were able to play in the water.

Today we got some great news.  Oksana met with the head inspector this morning.  The inspector assured Oksana that she did not see any reason that would prevent the separation of Alona from her siblings.  There are some formalities that need to take place then she will sign the form.  It could be signed tomorrow or in a couple of days.  Tomorrow would be just great for us.  We had some phone stuff we had to take care of so we went to the indoor mall.  We spent a few hours there, Leticia got a manicure for $6 and we found a good place to eat lunch.  Then we took a bus from the mall to the orphanage.  I need to take a picture of the van/bus that we road.  This was the first time we had taken a bus from the mall to the orphanage.  It went well.  O/W we spent the rest of the day with the kids.  We also found out today that at least Maya and Kolia will be going to the summer camp.  That starts on June 3^rd.  That will make our visits with them a bit more difficult.  Alona will still be at the sanatorium till June 11, and then she says that she will be going to her aunt’s house.  Vika we are not sure about yet.  We hope that she is allowed to stay in town.  We will see.

Prayer request: that Alona's separation forms will be signed quickly

 Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, 2 to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.
