Good Morning,

I am here on Sasha's office in kiev on Saturday morning. I was supposed to be on the 11:00 am back to JFK but when Sasha picked me up at the airport he informed I have to go to the American Embassy on Monday.

Chirstina is doing really great, starting to really show her personallity. Yesterday they took me to the airport in Nipro???. It was very tearful, everyone wants to come home and are just plain tired. Anyway, when they got home Christina announced she was going home. The conversation went something like this:

Christina "I go home tomorrow" (and proceeded to pack her suit case)
Lynn " what home?"
Christina "Deddy home"
Lynn "What about your passport?"
Christina (pointing to her face) "this is my passport"
Anna "How will you get there?"
Christina "me speak, Delta, go home"
Anna "How will you find our house?"
Christina "me speak, uncle Geremy, say go home"

This little exchange was much funnier in person but it is so cool for her to begin to reveal who she is to us.

If you are not all too weary and your knees too sore, please pray for the final steps to happen on schedule and that our family will be back together in total next Sunday.

Thank you all for your part in our journey.

Ron

Hey Everybody,

I can't imagine how tired you all must be and how ready you are to come home. We are certainly praying for everyone!! I think you have done a marvolous job since you have been there and I certainly appreciate you checking on my kids for me. God has certainly used you! I pitty anyone at that airport when you three girls are finally given permission to come home. Please don't try to stand in teh cockpit and hurry the pilot, the plane can only fly at certain speeds :):):) Besides, people might think you were from MISSISSIPPI (HEHEHEHE) Love you and praying you home soon - Jan Williams

Hey Gullys
We are catching up on your blog from Quito, Ecuador. We have had an amazing trip sharing the love of Christ with the beautiful people of Ecuador. We had 300+ children at VBS in a small mountain village. It was so amazing to watch how God is weaving his people together from around the nations. Alexa and Jessica Thompson shared their testimony with all the Ecuadorian students at the Sports Camp. Wow! Read more on our blog at servantlife.com. We loved the pictures of the new Gully family! Thanks for sharing your journey! Hang in there it will not be long!! We love you guys!!

Joan and the family!

Hello dear Gully family,

Our hearts are with you as you count down the days to your trip back home. I so remember how anxious I felt during the last two weeks of our adoption process in Zaporizhzhia & Kiev - it felt like the never-ending journey.

We can't wait to see you back in the USA!
