Honestly, I don't know what to ask you to pray for specifically. It's been a quiet week here. (So nice!)

Will's sister will be here next weekend. You can pray for her ongoing travels and for us to have a wonderful time with her.

Bogdan has made it through the past four nights without crying or nursing! But he's still getting up way too early for the way our family works.

We're an inch away from being done with our reregistration! Thank you for all your prayers. The only last step is that we're waiting for the head of regional immigration to come back from Kiev, to add his signature. As a special bonus, Will and I got to go to Zaporozhya by ourselves last week to sign papers.

Bogdan is still off and on with sleep. It's really weird. But he's a big two-year-old now! We're so thankful for him.

I got a break from the emotional situation I was in, because the person involved went away for a week. She's back now, so please keep praying.

We are starting our family preparations for Easter. Please pray that our hearts and minds would be especially turned towards Jesus in this time.

We are still waiting to hear anything about our documents.

The family that was adopting made it home with their new son! Please keep praying for all of them as they settle in and start their new life together. There are several more adoptions in progress that we're especially excited about now, too: cases where we've met the children or where they're in our region now.

Bogdan is back on his crazy insomnia streak. Please pray for sleep! He's keeping all of us up most nights.

I (Phyllis) have been putting a lot of time and emotional energy into counseling and supporting someone through some very heavy issues. Please pray for wisdom and strength for me.

Be praying that Will will be able to make a trip to visit Agape ministries, an organization that we are interested in possibly working with.

Will got everything turned in for our reregistration (as far was we know). Thank you for all your prayers. Now we just have to wait a little. It would be nice if they don't need anything more from us to process it.

The adoption adventures that I have been asking prayer for are continuing, so please pray for wisdom for all involved.

I'm starting to feel more rested, even if I may be the only one feeling that way so far. Bogdan was having trouble sleeping, but that seems to be passing. Hurrah!

Jaan is really doing well at music school these days, and that is such an answer to prayer. He has loved the piano part since he started there, but the rest has been a real struggle. I am just so excited to see him enjoying it all now.
