Almaty here we are!

We have arrived in Almaty, after our long train ride. Today we will go to Karakastec to see another orphanage and play with the kids there.
Pray that we all have strength and energy. The train ride was long and all of us are wanting to nap, but the prospect of more kids makes us energized.

Oh how I wish I could go with you guys to Karakastek!! Hopefully next year!! We brought Laura,8, home from there last summer and spent 5 weeks visiting with all of the older kida. I will never get "Packa chi menya" (push me on the swings) out of my head. They are awesome. We'd love to see pictures to know which friends are still there.

Praying for you guys
