Today we had an exciting time about town, culminating with the receipt of our official referral to head to Gorodnya for Katya. We plan to head out about 0700, & like last time, it’s supposed to be snowing hard – good thing I remember how to ask, “where’s the snow plow” in Russian.
Oh – last night we had Indian food with an American friend, Karen Springs. She’s doing well and says Hi to everyone – especially those of you that know her.
Nancy asked about the weather, it has been beautiful! Notice the pictures from today. The first is of our favorite church in town – not snowing yet.
We stopped for lunch (2 days in a row now I’ve had borsch). By the time we got to the golden gate aka zoloti varota (photo taken by a friendly police officer who told us several times that it was closed) it was snowing harder. 
Same situation in the picture of Charlene in front of the statue of Yaroslav. 
The final picture is from the church next to the SDA office, taken at about 1730 probably 2-4 inches on the ground by then and still snowing. 
Please continue to pray for God’s guidance for Oles and His direction in all matters related to this adoption.

Hello Tim & Charlene,
You guys look like you really fit in there. I've been praying for you and your family. Stay warm and enjoy the borscht. We look forward to hearing more about God working in your lives.
Tim and Char be careful of the bikes on the road in the snow. Godspeed with the adoption and bless Katya.

Hello, guys! I have found your blog through the links from our site! And I am so excited to read about your exciting adventures and see all those great pictures from Ukraine even though they make me miss home even more.
I hope everything is going great with you and very soon you will come back with your new beautiful daughter Katya! =)
You are in our prayers!

Have a great trip and be ochen careful. The thought of a Ukrainian driving experience in the snow is pretty scary. I guess it probably doesn't matter if the lines on the road are covered up since they don't seem to mean anything as far as we could tell. We're praying for a safe and happy reunion with Katya.
