YEA! We are here~~

Well, we got here this Sunday a.m. (even though it is only Saturday night back home) to Krasnoyarsk, after 3 flights that went well.  We have the day to ourselves, and so I wanted to take the time to let everyone know what was going on.  We are in the hotel, instead of the apartment like we thought we would be.   That was a surprise to us, but all is good.  The facilitators that met us have been wonderful, and speak English well.   However, now that we are in the hotel by ourselves, there is noone here that speaks English enough to converse with us, and we don't know enough Russian to speak with them. 

Funny, it feels like evening to us because we are still on our 'back home' clock time, so we were thinking to head out before night to the grocery store to get some food to have in our hotel room, and as we were getting ready to go, Diester looked at his watch (realizing it was actually morning), and said "Oh, I think the breakfast buffet is still open if you want to check it out." and I realize it is morning, and said "Yeah, what time is it?"  It was 9:59 and the buffet closed at 10:00, so we headed down there as quickly as we could, and the breakfast buffet was really nice, really nice.  Under the wire, and thank the Lord, we didn't have to find food right away.  And, it was really healthy stuff.  YEAH! ! !

We have SKPYE'd with some of our family in Wisc., S.C., and of course our girls in Northern Kentucky.  That is so nice~~one of the many good things about this WWW.    Diester and I are getting ready to take a walk along the river, and go to the grocery store.  It should be interesting.

So, that is what is going on here.  It is quiet in the city on the weekends.  Apparently, everyone here goes out to their summer homes, and works in their gardens.  (That is what Elena, our interpreter told us, and I had actually commented to Diester as we were landing that it looked like a lot of people have gardens in their back yards~that were freshly plowed.)  I think that is just about the sweetest thing!  considering I was out working in our garden the a.m. we left from Kentucky.   We will take some pictures and I will add them if I can get it together here. 

Have a blessed day!   We get to meet the boys tomorrow!   How exciting!   We can't wait!   Love to all!
