A great Sunday becuase we got to Skype with our Sunday school class! Thank you, Tim Carroll!! It was great to "see" everyone and share a few of our experiences. We are so grateful for everyone's love, support, and prayers! We appreciated Shad Kayser saying a prayer with us and the class at the end of our Skype session. We had "church" as a family today. We watched a video about the creation of the world and Adam and Eve (thanks, mom!!). This video was made with children in mind. Viktorija liked it. After the video, we were able to talk about disobedience and consequences...just like Adma and Eve in the Garden of Eden. We also have kept up with our nightly Bible readings with Viktorija. Wow! Her English and reading skolls have improved so much since the Summer when we started that! I'm proud of her:-)
Mike and Viktorija have been playing a game called "Snap!". Oh, it is funny to watch them get so competetive with one another! Viktorija really comes out of her shell during this game:-) As I have stated before, not much to do outside becaue of the cold. Games are a life saver! I'm so thankful I thought to pack about 5 different card games.
We have been doing school work, even on the weekend. Viktorija is doing so well with her Algebra! I'm so thankful for Mike;-) Her writing and spelling is coming along. I think she will do just fine once she gets settled into her new school. Her placement testing will be done on 3/7. Please keep her in your prayers.
I was so happy to be able to Skype with my mom and brother today!! It still amazes me that we can be halfway across the world and can see each other as if we were only next door! Amazing technology!! We were able to see our pups, Cosmo and Rosie. For this Viktorija was so excited! During our writing "class" today, she wrote a story about a girl who found a puppy. Everything is about a puppy!! I just keep telling myself..."Be strong, Julie. Be strong!" Mike will be too easy to convince to get a puppy. I would just like to wait awhile and get adjusted to all the new changes.
Well, it's time for "Air Bud" on video. See what I mean....it's movie about a dog!! Persistent;-)
Love and hugs....
