Update

Well, the new flights are booked and now we just pray that the visas are handled properly so we can get on the road Jack!

Flights only cost a total of about $450 more and the agency will cover that. There will be no layovers and we may not have to stay in Russia as long since the agency is trying to make up for this mix up!

So, we leave next Saturday, March 24th and will return on Friday, April 6th. I am hoping that Zack and Sophia can spend their first Easter with the family this year at babushka's church (where they will be kept very closely with me) followed by lunch at the Queen Mary. We shall see how things work out.

Thanks for your prayers! I appreciate them. The agency point person was very surprised that I did not blow a gasket, but I just looked at it as an opportunity to act Christlike. She kept saying how amazed she was that I was not screaming at her. I just kept asking her what that would change. She says she's going to make it up to me, but we shall see.

Much love to all of you out there praying for me! I so appreciate it! I hate to say it but the main thing I am dreading is going back to work because there it will be evident to me that I should be with Zack and Sophia as I change my leave paperwork and all! God must want me there one more week before my leave, and somehow, me thinks he may be blessing Wanda! :)

How exciting! I just found your blog via Kate's. We came home with two children in Sept. Looks like they may be close in age to yours. When I get a minute, I'll read all your back-posts, but until then I wanted to wishes you smooth travels and a kindly judge.
