Another Day of Miracles

Hi everyone, this is Jack. Stephanie asked that I make a quick post because she is just unable to get to it today. As everyone may have been aware, I was not, Stephanie did not have to return Anya to the orphanage today. Stephanie asked for her to be able to stay with them in the hotel and the orphanage said that would be okay. Such a long wait is finally over. We will no longer have to leave OUR daughter in the care of the orphange. They will all ride out to the orphanage tomorrow to have the going away party before they leave for Moscow. Stephanie said that they have been putting together gift bags for Anya's friends and that it was so exciting just watching her go through everything. The miracle of the day is that a new law went into effect today that all passports would take four days to be issued. An exception was made for Anya since they already have plans to leave for Moscow tomorrow. Thank the Lord for his grace and mercy! The passport should be made available by 3 or 4 o'clock tomorrow. Due to the timing of everything, they will have to fly to Moscow instead of taking the train as planned. They learned that they will be flying on an plane built by Airbus which is a newer plane in the fleet. This is yet another blessing. We are so excited! Just about four more days until they are home. Thank you all for your prayers. Please continue to pray for Stephanie, Anya and Charlie and for God's grace and mercy to be with them for the rest of this trip.

Jack
