Daughter of Purpose, May 2009

Two years ago today, The Driver, Daughter of Purpose and I boarded a plane in Moscow, Russia.  The weather was in the 40s and we were headed back home to America after a long month of living in the Arctic Circle.  11 hours later we stepped off the plane into 102 degree weather.  What a welcome, huh?

Well, it’s been two years and it’s amazing what a difference 2 years makes.  Daughter of Purpose is a whole new person inside and out and we are certainly a different family!

Who’d have ever thought that a little girl in Russia would be able to learn English and within 2 years, be presented with awards for memorizing God’s Word?  What an amazing God we have!
