Saturday afternoon

Today I spent time with some teenage girls from one of the orphanages.

On the way home, we stopped for doughnuts. Yum!




I met this group within a week of moving to St. Petersburg in 2004. It is one of my first memories of living here. Now the older girls have already graduated and the younger ones are not so little anymore. Time flies!

    На Сенной. Зайдем? ;)

    Мне на самом деле нравится больше на Большой Конюшенной.

    We adopted our little girl in St. Petersburg and we are in the process of adopting another one.

    I pray that God continues to use you to touch lives!

    May God bless you!
