Hello All! What an experience......sorry for not emailing until tonite, the phone line at the house won't call out for some unknown reason. We came to a Internet Cafe to send this message and say that I am doing fine. We arrived last night to the team house at 8:30 meaning that you figure the time, including the layovers and such my total travel time getting here was about 26 hours! And that's not including my drive to Portland Tues. afternoon. Very tired today, this was our first day at the orphange and it wasn't as bad as I was expecting meaning the smells and such. The children are so adorable and lots and lots of smiles. The airport in Moldova was small and had lots of police and security. We had no problem getting thru customs but when we started getting ALL of our luggage they started coming over and asking questions. I just kept my head down and no one came up to me. As soon as our people came to pick us up, we lucked out and got to walk right thru without even checking out our bags. I don't know if I'll be able to email again, hopefully the internet will start working at the house. We are here is Balti until Sunday and leave for Chisinau for the remaining days. I miss you Josie, Lane and Cody. Mom loves you and can't wait to come home and see you and tell you about the kids. Hi Kylie! I'll see you soon. Love, Julie

Hi Mom, I miss you. Lane, Cody, and I are spending the night at grandma's. It's wierd @ home with you not there. I gave my speech last week and it was good. We all miss you, have you found a favorite kid? I love you Josie
ReplyDeleteHi Kari and Julie, I am praying you are safe and having a wonderful experience. God works wonders when we believe in Him. It is fun to read the blogs from you and from others. Your children are so great! They helped Papa and I rearrange the living room, they dusted, we had a fun Saturday. Cody even liked the hot tub, but he held on to Gramma tight. He's all tucked into the big bed, waiting for brother and sister, he's sound asleep. What I found out I can't do is just take him outside and turn my back, I was running like mad after him ( him laughling all the way ). Love you both very much and found out that Mr Jolsted went to Moldova as well! Sleep Sweet!! Mom

Hi Julie! I have been praying for you. I will remember to pray for the whole team too. I am glad things are going well. I am so happy for you to have this kind of experience! Keep up the good work, have fun, and most of all cherish every moment! Love, Barb I
ReplyDeleteHi Julie. I saw you outside Hometown drug 2 days ago when you drove past me in a red Expedition and waved, so I smiled and waved back enthusiastically! When I told Barb I had just seen u she looked at me like I was crazy and reminded me you were out of the country, so I have no idea who I was waving at. :) We'll keep praying for you.
ReplyDeleteJust a thought, I could ride the Breeze to Portland Thursday and meet you @ the airport and drive you home Thursday night....I know you will be tired from the long airplane ride but also very excited about your experience with the kids....let me know if you want me to do this. Not a problem if you wish to stick to coming home on Friday, as your Mom I worry about you being tired and driving home alone. Love you both. Can't wait to hear your stories Kari; who would of thought you'be be playing the drums 1/2 way around the world > go girl!
