Robison's Arrive!


The Robison's arrive safely this evening at St. Petersburg! They are here on their first trip to Russia to go through the adoption process on their first of two required trips. Their flight was about 10 minutes early and all the luggage arrived as well. My son Sergey and I met them at the airport to greet them. After exchanging money and checking in the hotel we all took an evening walk to go eat some dinner. Two places we had walked to were full. It was a Friday evening and just like the USA, people are eating out on a Friday evening! We ended up at a Chineese Food restrurant near the hotel. We had a great meal together, although they were tired from the trip. Walking back at about 10pm on a clear night, it was still twlight here! The Robison's were ready to sleep after being up nearly 30 hours.

They have no appointments until Monday, so Sergey and I will show them around the city tomorow afternoon. Tomorrow evening I'll go to the airport again to pick up the SAC team that is flying in on Saturday evening. On Sunday, they will join our team as we go to church on Sunday morning at the Logos church.

We are all staying in the same hotel in the south part of the city. This will certainly make it a memorable exprience for them and our SAC team as well! Please pray for them specifically this week as they meet with officials and go through the adoption process.
