Vanya and Mike

We are preparing for some family to come and stay with us, so Vanya has gone back to another host family for a while. We had a great visit with him here.
I took these pictures this morning.

Vanya

We are having such a great time with a very sweet young man.
Today we attended church, where there are several folks who speak Russian. Vanya was quite surprised with all the familiar voices speaking to him in Russian. What a comfort that must be.

We were able to attend our friend's 80th birthday party and her son and daughter in law along with her grand daughter were visiting from Moscow! So Vanya had more conversations available today. I was so happy for him.

He is one sweetheart of a young man. I pray that the Lord will reveal himself to him in a very strong way and he will come to know his Heavenly Father. :)

BTW- He is great at putting together this jigsaw puzzle.

Introducing Vanya

We have the priveledge of hosting a young man from Russia named Vanya. He is in the United States on a medical visa. He had surgery at Scottish Rite Hospital for Children about 4 weeks ago. He is healing and getting fitted for a new prosthetic leg before heading back to Russia where he lives in an Orphanage.

He is a very sweet young man and is trying his best to learn a little English. So far, we smile and have found that he is great at playing basketball. :) He will be stying with us for about a week before going on to visit another family.
