Greetings on a snowy Monday from Chernigov. We are gearing up for court #2 tomorrow at 1400. Assuming everything goes well, that will start our 1st ten-day waiting period.
Yesterday we had a great Sunday. We went to a new church in Chernigov that was started by some Americans a few years ago and is held on the first floor of a Ukrainian museum. We had a wonderful time: it brought to mind what the Chapel (Williamsburg Community Chapel) may have been when it started up (except of course services at WCC weren’t held in Russian). After church, we went to the Pastor’s for some lunch and met many wonderful people.
Here’s a picture of him in front of his authentic Ukrainian house! It was great to talk to folks who have a passion for bringing the Good News to the people here.As we have mentioned before, we are trying to set up some support for Tanya. A potential plan is emerging in which she could travel to Chernigov on Tuesday for a 2 hr private English lesson followed by English club (sponsored by the church we attended) and then do the same on Sunday. Our hope is that she could meet some good people here that will ease her transition next fall, learn English to help with her visit this summer, and learn about God. There are many hurdles for this plan, so please pray for all the details. We will need the Orphanage director to agree to let her go. He has the older kids on lock-down after 6 of the girls got pregnant.
We’ve included several pictures. This one shows our fearless facilitator,
Oles, pitching in with a drain backup in the shower room on Katya’s floor. 
Here is Katya getting her hair done by Charlene before church – you can see how much she likes it! 
This shows Marina, we’ve mentioned her. She was in better spirits today. 
Finally, two pictures of an interesting 
pink Mercedes parked at the hotel – for a Mary Kay meeting!SDG – Tim and Charlene

I love YOU!:)
Hello from snowbound Williamsburg Virginia, where all the schools are closed and our power has been out for 18 hours! We are just trying to relate to your experience! It wasn't as much fun as you are having. Good to hear about your court date, we will pray that all goes well. We are also praying for Tanya and the arrangements that you have made. It sounds to me that God is building more and more relationships between you and Ukraine. Bless you all,
Fran
