Merry Christmas Eve everyone! We met our little gift from God today, a little boy named Berick at babyhouse #3 in Almaty. The visit was a short one, but it was one of those that quality is more than quanity types. He did play with some of the toys we brought, he laughed and the best part was he didn't cry!!!! We will get to go back tomorrow, we should find out tonight if we will have morning or afternoon visits. I just pray that the next 14 days go as well as today and that his personality starts to develop as he becomes more comfortable with us. After the few minutes we got to spend with him this morning it makes me realize how hard it is going to be to go home without him much less not see him for a long time. We will try to post pictures at some point, we will likely have to go to an internet cafe to do this, since we found out today that the wi-fi system here in Kazakhstan is not compatiable with Windows Vista, now tell me that does not suck because we will have to take a taxi to get to an internet cafe. Yeah, Wayne and I getting a Russian speaking taxi cab driver to take us to a place we can't pronounce the name of in Russian. We may try to go to the coffee house to try their wi-fi, just to make sure it doesn't work, the coffee house is just down the street. Our in-country staff keep asking us what we are going to do to celebrate Christmas, they don't understand that without our family and church it won't really seem like Christmas, especially with no gifts (just joking). We will try to post daily now that we have dialup internet service in our room.
Love,
Wayne and Crystal
