An update from Team B in Novgorod:This time the update is from each person on the team as they pack up the presents to give each child and teen tomorrow for their last day. Please pray for them since it will be an emotional time for the kids and the team.
Kaylee: Hi Family and Babe!:) The past two weeks have been so awesome! I have so much to tell you when we get back! We made so many friends and heard so many stories! The Lord has been by my side the whole time and has taught me a lot and I can’t wait to share it with you! I love you! :))
Brooke: To my beloved family and friends. These past three weeks have really flown by, I cannot believe it is almost time to leave. I am so ready to see all of you but I do not want to leave. The Lord has really broken my heart for these kids and I have gotten so close with them I don’t know how I am going to leave. Please continue to keep praying, as we have to say our good byes. I love you, see you soon!
Jocelyn: Hello Family and Christian. I can’t believe how fast these last three weeks have flown by. I have met some amazing children. The Lord has definitely opened up my eyes and my heart and taught me so much. I can’t wait to tell you all about everything I have seen and all the people I have met. I love you all so much<3 See you soon!
Alex: Hi guys! The past three weeks have gone by so quickly (and my bs has been better than ever)! I cannot wait to come home and tell you all everything, so be ready ;] The Lord has taught me so much from all the children and people I have had a chance to build a relationship with. I can’t wait to see you! Love you all to the moon and back! Oh! And check ;]
Sarah: I love the kids I have had a chance to meet and love on; specifically a 12-year-old girl who has pretty much decided to be my best friend and stick by my side. Russia is beautiful and has some gorgeous views; all of it will be hard to leave. I love you guys & miss you so much! Thanks for the prayers, God is SO good, can’t wait to share! See you soon! <3 (:
Yesenia: Hello family! I am doing great. 🙂 I Love working with the kids and Russia is so Beautiful. I miss you all and see you soon.
Emily: Hi Mom, Daddy, and Linds! I am having the greatest experience ever here in Russia loving on the kids and teens in the transit center. We have been able to build great relationships with the teens and really get to know them and even share God’s love with them! I can’t wait to get home and share all of my stories and pictures with you guys. Pray for us as we have to say goodbye to everyone tomorrow. I miss you all and love you so so so much! See you Tuesday 🙂
Kara: Doing much better today after spending a few days in the hospital due to a kidney stone in her body. Tomorrow she will be reunited with the team. Thank you for your prayers.
Kristi: Friends and family, trust me when I say that the Lord has moved in us and through us during our time here in Russia. Personally, I have learned so much about the love of Christ and His heart, His decision to adopt us into His Kingdom. Although I work with teenagers in America, to work with teenage orphans in another country has broadened my view of ministry and adds a depth that I never thought would be possible. I am so thankful to have lead this team and to trust the Lord, ultimately, as He leads us.
Michelle: My dear family and friends, God is working in so many ways here in Russia, and specifically in the orphanages. 
I have made a very close friend who is 10yrs old that will be very hard to leave but have absolutely loved getting to spend time with and hug on her. I am so thankful for each of you at home who have been praying for us and ask that you continue praying even after we arrive home for our growth and for each of these children we have had the privilege to meet.
