SDA Apointment

Right now, it's 2:40pm in Kiev 0n Wednesday, December 12. Our SDA appointment was at 12 o'clock. We hardly slept last night from being nervous about this. We were all dressed and waiting for our facilitator to call. We hadn't heard anything from him since the day we arrived. We decided that if he didn't call by 11:30, we were going to call him. Well, he beat us to it, so we didn't have to call him. He told us he was stuck in traffic. So, now we're worrying about being late for our appointment. He finally shows up to drive us to our appointment. He goes in first to tell them we are here. Then, we are told to go in. We walk through the door and stand in a small space at the bottom of some stairs with another couple. I don't know where they're from, but they speak Spanish because their interpreter asked them. They go up the stairs, then a few minutes later our interpreter comes down for us. Our facilitator isn't allowed in with us, but he asked anyway. We were asked to sit down and introduce ourselves to the SDA representative. It has seemed like such a long journey to get this far. It takes a few minutes to absorb what she is telling us, because it needs to be interpreted and also because we are anxious to know what they will tell us. Our facilitator has already told us some things that have added to our emotional state right before we go in. We do understand two words that the SDA representative says. The names of our girls. She has two pieces of paper in her hand. We can only see the back side. She lays the papers down and we immediately recognize both pictures. She tell us the pictures were taken in February of 2006.
Then she finishes the meeting, which may have lasted all of ten minutes, by telling us that BOTH of our girls are available and they will give us our referrals so we can travel to the region tomorrow evening!!!

We know that many, many prayers have been offered up for us and these two girls. We prayed for a miracle and it was given to us!

To GOD be the glory, great things he hath done!!
