\"\"<\/a>Day 2 with the kids!<\/p>\n

Fred:\u00a0 God has blessed, is blessing.\u00a0 High points mentioned in our evening devotions as a team, have included working\/playing with the orphans, and some of the sights we have seen along the way.\u00a0 King\u2019s kids (and adults) and SunErgos kids are starting to connect, starting to communicate even without a translator, starting to want more time together to just talk; the initial reserve and awkwardness is melting (unlike the weather outside!) to smiles more and more.\u00a0 What a blessing to give hope and hugs and laughter\u2014to show each one is valued; and what a blessing to learn so many lessons from them, from the circumstances they endure!\u00a0 Tomorrow, two of the teen boys are being sent to the town they are from; they don\u2019t really want to go.\u00a0 That means, that these past few days are all the chance we\u2019ve had for input into their lives.\u00a0 I was impressed again today\u2014we need to always be ready to give answer for the hope within; we are His ambassadors\u201424\/7\u2026 not just during office hours.\u00a0 May the Lord bless the few faulty seeds sown to bear much fruit!<\/p>\n

Kris:\u00a0 Another great day in St. Petersburg\u2026.snow falling and the air is fresh.\u00a0 Took the morning subway to the souvenir \u00a0shop and while on the train, a gentleman,\u00a0 so excited to see that we were Americans proceeded to hand Isabelle a musical carousel\u2026 such a blessing to see them break out of their more somber nature while on public transit!\u00a0 Had a great lunch at the Montana Caf\u00e9 \u2013The Russian version of the wild west was quite hysterical.\u00a0 Totally enjoyed a real cup of coffee!\u00a0 Back to the transit center in the afternoon allowed us to connect with the kids once again.\u00a0 The little ones that my group is spending time with were so excited to see us and welcomed us with embraces.\u00a0 Since we have a wide variety of ages, we need to be prepared with lots of activities that allowed each one with something to keep them occupied \u2013 which allows us to minister to each one individually.\u00a0 One little boy, Egor, made 4 little chickens and wants us to come back tomorrow so he can make another one for his brother\u2026.so cute!\u00a0 We ended the evening with the kids all participating in a \u201cdisco\u201d\u2026. Another way to break the barrier with song and dance and connect.\u00a0 The Lord is present in all and we are so blessed to be here.\u00a0 Miss you all and look forward to all your responses and prayers.\u00a0\u00a0 Love and kisses\u2026.to Mike and my girls.<\/p>\n

Jazmine: Happy Birthday Dad! I would love to see the moon right now. I love you. And tell CJ I lost the game.<\/p>\n
