no signature yet

Oksana went by the inspector’s office this morning and the form has been prepared and signed by all members except the chief inspector.  Yesterday was a state holiday for Child Protection Day, so the chief inspector was out and about yesterday and will be again today.  We pray that it will be signed tomorrow.
We got a bit of good news this morning.  Oksana went up to the court to try and get us a court date in anticipation of the separation being finalized tomorrow.  She was able to secure a court date for June 9th.  It could have been sooner, but she needs to allow time for all the forms to be sent to Kiev and approved before we can have court.  So really that court date is pending on the signature occurring tomorrow.  So we pray that tomorrow is the day that God allows the form to be signed.
O/W today was a slow day.  We went to the orphanage and the kids wanted to go for a swim.  They had been doing some painting in their rooms most of the day.  I am not sure how much work gets done.  I think that there was more paint on the kids than on the window frames.
We walked up to the swimming hole, but this time I did not go in.  I found out from an American missionary named Liz Millikan how that swimming hole came about.  They were strip mining and hit an underground spring which proceeded to fill the hole up with water.  Makes for a great swimming spot.

We also watched the kids play soccer.  Kolia is the goalie in these pictures.  As you can see, he is aggressive, but he is not built for this sport. 

You can guess what my prayer request is, for a signature tomorrow morning!!

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth
