A couple things



Hi!
Here are two additional photos that I couldn't upload this morning due to blogspot's limit on the number of photos per post (and we didn't have time for an additional post this morning). The first photo is of us sitting in the office of Luba's orphanage, Sonechko (sunshine). As you may have gleaned from Tara's email earlier, Luba was named after the orphanage. The reason for this is that she was left anonymously at the orphanage as a newborn. The green couch we are sitting on in the first photo is couch she was left on when her parent(s) abandoned her. The second photo is of Luba's orphanage building. There are a few buildings in Sonechko, but this is her building in particular.

The other thing we wanted to write about it to thank everyone for their comments and to ask for more. Even though we don't have any easy way to reply to everyone who leaves comments, we VERY MUCH appreciate them. They are our only contact with our friends and family back home, and we cherish the opportunity to read what you write. So, if you haven't done so yet, please add some comments! If you have already been commenting, by all means, please keep adding more. We do enjoy them so much!

Thanks, and bye for now,
Josh & Tara

Hi! It is very touching to read your story so far. I look forward to seeing what God is going to do in your family. We will definitely keep you in prayer. We will pray that God will bring about His desires and purposes for you, and help you get rest and a better place to stay. I like the name Zoe. My kids and I are wondering--when a child is in an orphanage, do they ever leave to go anywhere else like to a park, a store, a church, a zoo, or a museum? May God be with you, Sharon H.
