We should be on the overnight train right now but we are not. Something happened and our coordinator was not able to get us tickets so we will take the "fast" train tomorrow for 5 hours instead of the overnight train that would have taken 12. Our train will leave at 6:40 a.m. and we should arrive to the region of the orphanage by noon. We will go straight to the orphanage to see our girl. We are both excited and nervous to see her reaction when she is brought to us. She says she does not remember us from when we met her at the CA airport in July. We are praying for a warm reception and a happy reunion with her stuffed puppy dog she left at her host family's house. That puppy dog has traveled in the mail from CA to CO and then has been on the top of my large purse as we traveled to Ukraine. God is so good to give comfort in various ways! We pray the special stuffed puppy will give our girl comfort as she makes a life changing decision.

We especially appreciate your prayers during these next few critical days.
