We have had a couple of interesting days. We tried to post yesterday but had some technical difficulties so it didn't get uploaded to the blog. Sorry!
Easter in Ukraine is not celebrated until next weekend. So things are pretty much the same to look around. But we have joy in our hearts as we celebrate today, the Risen King! We started the day out with a bible study and then had lunch hat McDonalds. And now we are off to the circus. Then we have a meeting re: court tomorrow and then off to the orphanage to see my babies! After court, we are hoping to be able to take them for some outings.
The other night we had dinner with a real, live Ukrainian family. Remember our substitute translator that we just loved?! Her family lives her in Kharkiv, and so they invited us to dinner. Her aunt & uncle from Germany were there too. So including us, there were over 9 people for dinner. They were such a loving, gracious family and we felt so honored to be invited into their home. It was such a blessing to us. They had lots of questions about America and we in turn inquired about Ukraine. It was a wonderful evening. I took a picture of the table with all of the food on it. We will post that in a few days. I wish they could come have dinner in our home.
Other than than, we are good. We just continue to look forward to your posts everyday. They are such a blessing to us. I have a funny story about Anya that I will have to save for another post when i have more time. Until then, know that we love you guys and appreciate your prayers. Please pass along your prayer requests to us, so that we can be liftin' you!
HAPPY RESURRECTION SUNDAY!!!! Jesus loves you so much that he chose to die for you rather than to live eternity without you!
Love ya! Kayla :)
Ukrainian Trivia: Remember guys with "lines" in their hair? (circa 1986) Scott had "lines" when we first started dating. Well, here the trend never died! I have yet to see a bi-level (mullet) but will keep you posted! :)

Hey Thompsons!
I drove by your church yesterday and there was a BIG sign that said "JESUS CHRIST IS ALIVE!" It was great to see in such large print. Happy Resurrection Day to you all too!! What is the major belief system over there? Will there be church services that celebrate Jesus next weekend? We miss you and love you and will hide a few Easter eggs for you too! (They may stink a little when you get to hunt them! teehee!)
We will pray through the night for your court date tomorrow! I know you will feel much better when that hurdle is jumped.
Blessings to all 5 of you!
Huge hugs from America!!

Oh Kayla,
I miss your smiling face, but what an exciting and wonderful time you are having with your family. I am so happy for all of you having this time to get to know each other before you come home.
Have a Special Easter, knowing next year you will be hiding Easter Eggs with your three precious children.
love ya, Susan Hay
Kayla words can't even begin to describe how happy I am for you!Just as God has blessed me with having you put into my life, he's given you these amazing children. I miss you and I'm praying for you everyday!
God Bless

Happy Easter! We had our usual Easter lunch with the Englekes. Samantha and Josh stayed in Oklahoma, but Ben and Kelly were here. And Chloe, Brandon and Margo's little girl - one and a half - is adorable. We thought of you and wished all 5 of you could be here! Next year. :)
What a wonderful experience to be invited to someone's home for a meal.
See you soon!
