Ulyana (Mark's mother) is in the hospital, waiting to give birth to their second baby. They did let her free for the weekend, so she was able to see her family and sleep, but now she's back there. Pray for her to have a safe birth and healthy baby. . . and if you have any idea of what Russian maternity hospitals are like, pray for her sanity! Also, please pray for Mark and Pasha (Mark's Papa). Mark is having a very hard time with the changes and his mother's absence.

Praise the Lord! A big boy was born yesterday! He probably won't have a name until his father gets to see him in another week or two. That's about all I know for now.

Hurrah! They came home from the hospital yesterday. The baby still doesn't have a name. He has a few health problems, so please pray.

Actually, he doesn't have anything wrong with him! That was just something that the doctors made up to scare Ulyana. Pavel and Ulyana are still going to have another doctor come look at him, but they're sure that he's fine.

His name is David (Dah-veed).
That's not a prayer request. Just an update.
