Hey guys. Well trip one has finally arrived. It has been along time since Bro David's series of "Know Fear" in November of 2003 when God confirmed the call in our lives to go to the orphan's of Russia. The emotions today are really hard to describe. Elation, fear, nervousness, great expectations, fear, fear of the unknown, fear of rejection, joy, they just go on and on and seem to contradict one another. That being said, we are really glad that we have been able to walk to this point with our Lord, and with you by our sides. Since I have a plane waiting, I need to finish what I came here for.
We leave Monroe at 12:30 today. We get to Moscow at 11:00 tomorrow. There is a 9 hour time difference for you keeping score at home. We will connect at 2:30 Sunday afternoon for our flight into Arkhangelsk and get there a couple of hours later. We will be in the city of Ark until Tuesday evening about 5:00 when we will fly to Kotlas. We will meet Anna Beth sometime Wed. We will get to visit with her, the orphanage director, caregivers etc. Thursday as well. Hopefully Friday too as we don't leave Kotlas until that night around 7:00 PM. Saturday the 29th we reverse course and leave Ark around 7:00 in the morning, connect in Moscow, and the again in Atlanta ending up back in Monroe about 8:00 Sat. night.
We will have limited internet access, especially in Kotlas. Any updates or new photos of Anna Beth would not appear here until sometime Wed., but no guarantees. Could be not until Friday when we are back in Ark. We will do our best to beg/borrow/steal some bandwidth to get new photo's up here.
Please leave comments on the blog, as we might not get a chance to clear emails, facebook, etc. and we will focus on the blog.
Well, I have to go finish packing, Allen and Boogie are taking us to the airport, and I would hate to be late today.
With God's angels we go to the city named Arch Angel!!!
Bryan and Leigh
