Two Days and Counting

Our plane will leave Detroit at 1:30pm on 3/11 and we will arrive in Kyiv, Ukraine on 3/12 at 11:20am. Last minute details are being completed. Plans for our responsibilities at home are being detailed and delegated. We got to go to church this morning, in was bittersweet since T's team did not make it to the State finals on Sunday and we were able to attend. I need all the strength I can get because this is truly going to be an adventure. The furthest out of the country any of us has been, is to Canada. lol, a ten minute drive over the bridge. The list is getting shorter, but includes gifts for the children staying at the orphanage, clothes for our SDA date(the office that approves us to adopt a child) and for our court date(that finalizes the adoption). We are visiting with family tonight, the last hurrah of the season for the ice rink. I will update as often as internet access allows. Please keep us in your prayers, that we have favor and return home quickly with K.

Pode Family:

It is with great joy that your church family sends you knowing that God has ordered your steps. I thank Him for the Psalm 91 hedge of protection over your entire trip that you will pass over to the other side and return without harm! We will be awaiting your (I'm sure to be) many testimonies of God's grace, favor and divine appointments throughout this adventure. We'll be here to welcome home Constandine permanently and rejoice at what God has done, is doing, and will do in your lives. What a miracle at how God can put complete strangers together, knit their hearts with overwhelming love and call them family! We love you and look forward to your return.

In His service,
The Sproviero Family
