We're 5,000 miles away...

We're here!  We just arrived in our hotel a couple of hours ago in Burgas, Bulgaria after 4 plane rides and over 30 hours of travel from start to finish...and need I say only 2 hours max of sleep!  We also just lost 8 hours.  Yes, we're heading to bed very soon, but just wanted you all to know that we're here.  It is 10:30 in Bulgaria as I write this.

We meet our little Victoria tomorrow morning at 9:30.  We're told that she is the orphanage's "princess".  I'm sure she will be greatly missed in Bulgaria when we can bring her home in 4 months.  We were also told that she is very bright and that she has been enrolled in kindergarten this year.  This is somewhat unusual because orphanage children often have delays - in this area and others.  I can't wait to tell you what she is like! 

Our accommodations are very adequate and our guide/translator is very helpful.  Thank you for your prayers; we have felt God working through every one of them.

  4. John & Stephanie,
    So glad to hear of your safe arrival and that Victoria is doing well at the orphanage. We'll be praying that you'll have a God-honoring visit with her and that the Lord will unite your ENTIRE family sooner rather than later!
