And...

I have decided to apply for a temporary living visa for Russia. That would mean I could come and go from Russia for 3 years as I pleased when I pleased. There would be none of this coming and going every 3 months.

There is a lot of paperwork to be gotten and getting it from this side of the world defently has its major challengges for me. I need a translator to come everywhere with me. Documents are only good for 3 months so I have to time things welll... and I have to apply for this visa the beginning of January which means I need to be in the country, which means I need to leave Russia sooner then expected which only complicates getting all the right documents on time!!!
BUT... GOD WILL MAKE A WAY!!!!!!!!!!!

of that I am confident.

and I have been blessed to be visiting to be visiting this amazing mom and her daughter Angalina. She has a rough background and is in need of help these days but I have been so impressed with how she is trying to do what is right and best for her daughter. We help out when we can with food and or clothing... but our main desire is to see her get up on her own feet and we support her in that and the steps she is taking to get there.
