Older requests and answers:
  • Don't stop praying for Ukraine!
  • Our landlady is gone. Thank you for praying for us while she was here. Her sister went back to Donetsk, so please pray for her safety.
  • The family that was adopting is successful and home; continue to pray for their adjustment. I also know of another family working on paperwork to get another little one out of "our" orphanage now.
  • I have stepped back from the person I was counseling. Please pray that I would have peace about that decision, and that she will understand and move on in her life. Keep praying for her.
  • The orphanage picnic was wonderful!
  • Jaan and Raia loved camp.
  • We got a new computer!
New:
  • Two of "our" boys were transferred from the orphanage to an adult institution in a village a few hours away. We should be able to visit them on Thursday or Friday. Please pray for them; they are probably quite confused and upset by the unexpected change in their lives. Pray our visit will be possible and that it will go well. (UPDATE: We're going tomorrow, that is, Wednesday.)
  • We have new neighbors in the other half of this house. Please pray that we will be able to get to know them well. So far they seem very nice.

  • Pray for peace in Ukraine and for President Poroshenko.
  • Our landlady's sister is here, and life is much more peaceful now that she has someone to be with.
  • Please continue to pray for the family adopting here.
  • Wisdom, patience, and compassion in my counseling relationship.
  • Praise God for a wonderful vacation for us! You can pray that the refreshment from it will stick with us.
  • Saturday is the orphanage picnic. Please pray for all the details involved, safety, good weather, and for the children to have a wonderful time.
  • Will has a lot that had can do for Agape to catch up after being gone.
  • Jaan and Raia are going to camp next week.
  • Pray for "healing" for our computer: that it will spontaneously work better, or that I'll have time and brain power to figure out how to fix it. You can pray for our internet connection, too; it's been really off and on lately. (Maybe this is weird, but God takes care of small things, and this really is technology that we use a lot in daily life!)

We've been busy with music school end-of-year busyness. Please pray for Jaan and all of us and his teachers in the midst of it. Jaan still has one more recital, and then he'll pretty much be done for the year.

We're still stuck on getting through to people about meeting up. It's crazy how hard it can be to get in touch with people.

Easter is just two weeks away. Please pray for the preparations in our home and church.

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.
