No Hot Water...oops


We brought little notebooks for the kids today to write
English in. They seemed to like them, especially Katya.

We write the lyrics to songs that they know for starters, and that seems to be engaging for them. Also they prefer cursive because it is prettier than printing. Andri does some printing with Chris each day, but even he would probably do cursive, nicer than many 5th graders back home. Natasha was cutting napkins downstairs during this photo shoot. I love the photo of Katya and I, and for some reason, it makes me miss Jaclyn as well. We miss everyone back home, and are doing our best here to keep things going well! With my cold, I slept 3 hours today, and still hope to get to bed early!

We have been having less and less hot water, and noticing that our apartment is not as hot! I guess they turned off the "boiler" water with the nicer weather, BUT when we came in here the first day, there was something unplugged from our bathroom wall, so I left it unplugged. I thought it was to the overhead lights that didn't work.

Anyway, upon looking today, that plug goes to our separate hot water heater! OOOPS! It's plugged in now so we should have hot showers tomorrow.


Keep praying..we're in the tired, long haul, crabby phase of our waiting, and keep praying for our family back home.



Love Alesia & Chris

Pray for those who persecute you....

Matt 5:11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven...."

Matt 5:44" But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of the Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.


Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.....

Phil 4:5-9 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things.


2nd Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

We adopted 4 older siblings from Ukraine in 2010 and hope we can help.

We will share what we learn and help you when we can. There are great supports here on this page. Sometimes it's one day, moment and breath at a time. And you're not alone. Love, Alesia & Chris
