The Final Visit!

Hello Everyone!

I hope you had a great day celebrating our independence! It really is awesome to be so free like we are. Also, believe it or not, I am so thankful for the governement we have that our forefathers established. The stories I hear from different people I meet on the street here make me so appreciative of our Big Brother! It is 10x better than the BB they have here (at least from what I am told). Anyways, just thought I would share my reflection on our freedom!

What a day today was. I had a good visit in the morning with my boy, and so we only had this last afternoon visit, then tomorrow he is mine!

Fun with pictures! Just think future dads this could be you with your child! He is really starting to get the hang of this walking thing.

We did have to have some nose to nose conversations like my friends Cray and Brayden do, but they don't last long and he is back to being a hiroshy malcheek(my best phonetic interpretation).  The visit always ends when he is eating, he is happiest then! So I went to the market and found this food for my lunch today! It's a yummy chicken pineapple kabob, and chicken plov. This whole meal cost me less than 3 U.S dollars cooked already! Can you say "Value Meal"?

My land lady, gave me this jar of mystery food, and had me try some right in front of her! Thank you Lord, it tasted ok! Did you ever get offered something to eat, and you were so scared to eat it because it looked so different? Well, that was exactly the case for me. It was sweet tasting and come to find out later that they are jellied figs! I had never eaten a fig before!

 I installed the shower!

 I went to the market and bought the hose and the new holder! It was so easy to fix and looks great! Now I can take an actually shower I cannot wait!

Time flew so fast it was time to head back to the orphanage! It was so cool that kid Aleem I was talking about happened to be driving in my neighborhood with his mom, aunt, and cousin. He gave me a ride to the orphanage for free. I found out his religion is Muslim, and he does not follow it. I then gave him the gospel message. He seemed to be very receptive. Pray for his salvation!

Now comes the final visit.

 We just had a blast today inside rolling around on the floor and chasing after each other on the carpet. He kept trying to get real close to the camera. I was trying to get his smiling face.Got it!

We went on the final walk around the play ground, oh I cannot believe it. I feel so excited for tomorrow.

Then it was time to say my last goodbye! I always try to leave when he is eating! He handles it much better that way!

Man, this is weird. I have some picture of Zhenya on my phone again!

How does that happen?The sad part is this may be the last time this could happen on my camera!

Answering the comments!

Well I see two of my 3 best friends in the world finally decided to start reading my blog over the past two days! Did I mention they are my best friends? Nothing like their support! NOT! Seriously though thanks guys for finally tuning in and leaving comments!

Jill, very awesome family you have to do that! God will bless you!

Mom, I cannot believe you read it. I hope you like it. Have you read all of them? Check them out, and have Jared do the same. I love you Mom!

Thanks all the rest of you for the support you give through prayers and comments. It really does make a difference for me!

Pray for my trip to Kierg tomorrow and that the paperwork goes smoothly!

Got to go to bed!
