"Well what a day. We all met at the court at 9am. At 11am we had the final letter and we all took off. I went with Ludya and Gene(taxi driver) to a village N of here. It took 2hrs going sometimes 160 Km/hr! Went thru Moldova for a short bit. The official found a mistake and would not do new certificates so we had to come back to Belgorod. Natasha (adoption lawyer) called the judge and he gave a new letter. So, at 6:45am Gene will come for me, we will get the kids, go back to the village with the new letter, get the new certificates and then go to Odessa. Pam had no problems and went on to Odessa."
She went on to describe that Kaitlyn is having a hard time. She saw Pam Greer leave with Vladi (now Justin) and she cried. Please pray for her as it's all very emotional for her (wanting to leave and then again not totally wanting it). It was a very frustrating day for Kim as you can imagine. Pray for her. It's hard for her on her own. It was good teamwork between us when I was there and so it's hard. Even though it went as it did today, they might not lose a day if this new letter works and they get off to Odessa from there. I hope to call using our computer and Skype tonight at the time that I know they'll be leaving, or have left the orphanage, to try and encourage them that it will be alright. Hopefully the translator will be with them, but if not I'll at least show them that I and the other kids are anxiously waiting for them. Thanks for praying.

The Varnell family continues to pray for you!
Kim, Caitlin, Brody, Pam, Justin and the Vanderbergs are in our prayers everyday. Hopefully, everything went right on Wednesday and Kim and the kids are on their way to Odessa. We are on the "bell" lap of the race. God is doing a miracle for us through our wives and these precious children, each for the other.
