All this and Jesus too?

The Puritan sat down to a meal of bread and water and prayed,

"All this and Jesus too?"

Overwhelmed by Jesus and His love for us...  That's how I'm feeling.

We have been in touch with Galyna (translator), she is excited to help, and we are so excited to receive her help.  Galyna worked with the Goodness Family in communicating with Kristina by phone, when we explained who we were, and how we came to contact her it became a celebration.  Seems Galyna had not only spoke with Kristina, but Lena too!  She told us how Lena had shared about us, that Lena was happy that she would soon be moving to America with her new family, that they lived in Arizona, and had horses!  I really enjoyed hearing about ourselves from Lena's perspective through a person we had just met by phone.  Surprisingly not strange at all, just absolutely wonderful...  so this Saturday morning, 6:45am our time, 9:45am Galyna's time, and 4:45pm Lena's time, Charlie and I will be enjoying a chat with Lena with Galyna's assistance.

All this and Jesus too?

This morning I had the pleasure of speaking with Linda Goodness again.  Positive, fun, generous, insightful, brave, kind, encouraging, passionate, wise, that along with a contagious laugh and a wealth of information that she shares about their own experience so unselfishly is what I'm finding in my new friend. And then she did the sweetest thing, she put Kristina on the phone! I spoke with Kristina! She has a beautiful voice, and is speaking English. I told Kristina we hope to bring Lena home in November, she said, "Thank you, Thank you."

All this and Jesus too?

Kristina asked me to tell Lena hello, which I will gladly do Saturday morning.  Kristina is home, and doing great!

All this and Jesus too!!
