He Is

Today the sun was out and Ray and I enjoyed a nice walk up the street from our hotel to the Amctop store about 20 minutes away. There is always something interesting to photograph. There is a lot of remodeling activity here and in nearby Donetsk as the European Soccer Cup is going to be held here in 2012. Piles of bricks, dirt and sand and scaffolding are here, there and everywhere. Makes it interesting if you are walking after dark as we do to the computer lab, as there are few working street lights. Also, you never know if a man hole cover will actually be in place or missing. One of the first things Viktor said to us is "Never step on a cover as it  may just collapse with you into the hole." It seems the majority of people in this community walk or ride the bus to get from point A to point B. We see families taking a stroll together usually walking arm in arm.

We missed Inna today during visiting time as she was taking care of a child for one of her teachers. Tomorrow we will take the children to get their passport photos taken and possibly out to eat afterward. Should be a fun adventure. We should also find out if our court date is this thursday the 27th or November 3rd and have made plans A and B to conclude our time here.

We are sorry to be missing Garrett and friends performance at a fall festival in Virginia Beach today.  Hope all goes well, G. Jake should be trying out for the 7th grade basketball team soon.  My sister Kristen's two month old daughter Analiese needs prayer for restored health recovering from RSV just out of the hospital. Having seen a few stars tonight I am reminded of the vastness of space and the immenseness and power of our God and his grasp of all that is. I'll leave you with 2 Thessalonians 3:16 "Now the LORD himself give you peace at all times and in every way." He is trustworthy and faithful and brings his plans to pass.  Lifting you up in prayer.  Thanks again for yours.
In him,
Cari
