This is a story of how two people have prayed and how God has responded. It began with a girl praying for God to send her the man God knew would be the perfect one for her. God listened and Shawn came into her life bringing fun, friendship and a love so sweet that she is still amazed by it. The happy couple enjoyed many adventures and wonderful times together but eventually felt like something was missing. God was listening as always and sent Garrison, a child full of hugs, laughs and sunshine. The couple was so grateful for this child but eventually felt like something was still missing. Once again God listened to their prayers and sent Foster, a child with deep thoughts, sweet smiles and lots of precious angel kisses on his nose. The couple was again very grateful to have been so blessed but something was still missing. Ever faithful, God sent Trox, a child with endless energy who brings out the best in everyone around him and gathers smiles wherever he goes. Even with this third gift, the couple still felt something was missing and prayed for God to show them what more blessings he wanted to add to their lives. God answered that their last (?)- blessing was waiting for them in Russia. Join us as this story continues with their journey to Moscow.

2 PM – O.K. so now I know what my years of shift work were preparing me for at the Railroad! We were able to take several naps on the airplane but definitely looking forward to a good night’s sleep!

     International air travel is the only way to go. The food food on Singapore Air was excellent and the flight attendants were too. Hot towels for your face, cozy socks, and toothbrush & paste were complimentary (Maybe the toothbrush was a hint :). Each seat back has a 14 inch TV with Movies, TV shows, Global History, Shopping, Radio & games on demand. The screens also gave you a map of your location on the globe as well as the speed, miles covered etc…

     Getting our luggage and going through Customs was much easier than we thought. So far, every sign has English and the employees speak it.

     We met Yuri & Irene (Our driver & translator) and they are wonderful. They have helped with over 100 adoptions over the years. Another one of our fears put to rest, we feel very safe while with them!

      We drove by Red Square & the Kremlin which are amazing feats in architecture. We hope to fit in some sightseeing on one of the trips! Traffic is crazy here though, some equate it to New York City.

     The Marriot is in a very safe feeling location with lots of shops, restaurants & clubs. It is also very close to the “safe” tourist locations which is comforting.
