Ta-Da....we arrive....finally!

Finally we are in Taraz! After a quick nap we have set out for the day to view the city and prepare for our 3 days of crafts and games with the kids!

Pray for us as we prepare for meeting up with the kids tomorrow and also that we would all step out and get to know the kids, even with a huge language barrier.
Pray that we would have strength and energy to keep up with all these kids each day!

Stacy, now i know you are going to fall in love with every single one of those kids, and that's perfectly OK! Bring them all home and we can live in your big texas house and learn Russian. Matt and I will move out there!!! I know you each are doing great and it KILLS me that I am not there with you Liz! Stay strong, don't drink the water and when in doubt...just say "Lord willing" Tell Aiman i say hi!

Hi All, I just happened on your blog due to another blog regarding Kaz orphans. I am thrilled to know you are going to Karakastek. I adopted my now 5 year old daughter from there at 7.5 months in 2003. I'm thrilled to hear you are going to share and show them God's love. I will keep you all in my prayers as you travel and minister to the children and caregivers.

Hey Lizzie,I am glad to know you made it there safe. And I thought taking the bart this weekend was a pain(well it was). I saw 7. Everything looks good, took pictures for you. H&M at Stonestown now. Everything else is the same really. Can't wait to discuss everything. I'll check back later. Tell Chan hi. Love from,erin

Please, please, please......tell the children (the 7-9 year old group) at Sarymoldaev (Russian older children's orphanage)that Dasha and her family love them and miss them. I am sure that there are still many of the same children in her group that were there when we adopted Dasha 1 1/2 yrs ago. Thank you all for being there - God bless you!
