signed, sealed and delivered

Boy this day was tense.  We finally got the signed document for separation of Alona and it is off to Kiev to get the SDA sigs.  This allows Oksana to go home and spend time with her 16 y/o daughter after a month of not seeing her.
We will go get the kids from camp on Wednesday and get them ready for court on the 9th at 9 am.  Then we will spend some time with them before we leave to Kiev to spend Thursday night so that we can catch an early flight home Friday morning.  We will spend our required waiting period at home.  We are looking forward to that time.  After that we come back to finalize all the paperwork and bring the kids home.
The children left the orphanage this morning for camp.  All our kids had to go including Vika.  We were hoping to see them off, but we were stuck having to deal with the whims of the lady I mentioned on my earlier entry.
Leticia became ill last night.  We think dehydration played a part in that.  She is prone to migraine headaches and she had one last night.  We walk so much here and you can only carry so much water with you.  Once we get to the orphanage our kids drink our water then we are left with no water till we go by a store somewhere.  It has gotten pretty hot during the day as well, so that has been a bit of a physical strain.  She is better today.
We will not have much going on now till Wednesday.  I'm sure you all do not want to know about our trips to the indoor mall.
Thank you all so much for the encouragements, prayers and for being interested.  It is comforting to know that people are supportive.

Please pray for good health, that the paperwork gets back from Kiev in a timely manner, and for the safety of our kids while in camp.

Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.
