Departure Photos

Once the children are all back at the gates, a group photo is made before they depart. Thought you might like to see the two group photos. The smaller group is the Russian children who returned Wednesday. The larger photo is all the Latvian children who left Friday night. Gvido is in the back next to Gatis. Gatis is the 17 year old who came as a Jr Assistant, his mother is our Latvian Coordinator. He's the tallest in the background and Gvido's head is peeking just along side his.

Dear Lord,

Thank you for allowing Gvido to come to America to spend Christmas with Jon and Michelle. What an amazing gift for them and for him! We give you this special relationship ... may it become whatever you desire and may it glorify you and bring honor to your name. Touch Gvido's heart and give him a heart like Yours. As he walks with You, protect him from all evil and speak to him words of hope and life. We praise You, the Lord God Almighty, for what You have done! Amen.
