We found Vika!
Hello all! We have great news! After traveling for several hours on very bumpy roads and me about throwing up 10 times, we four wheeled it to Vika's camp and found her there, along with some other shocked kids. We made quite a stir to say the least! She was not expecting us at all! We came home, let her take a shower, ate dinner, tried to converse a bit, then she went back to her camp in Odessa and we went to bed, very exhausted! She is left handed like Kyle, reminds me of my niece Paula, and is tall and thin. She has brown hair and beautiful blue eyes. We spent today finding her some clothes, doing the "shopping" thing. Kyle was really thrilled when we went to the lingerie department, ha ha. We are having a fun time trying to get to know her and we are learning some Russian words and phrases from our very boisterous driver, Vladamir. I finally told him that I had a headache and that I couldn't hear any more! ha ha Things are moving along and we are hoping for a second referral for a boy this week. We are very hopeful that things will work out our way. Thanks again for your prayers on our behalf. I can feel that they are working. We are excited and are having a great time on this adventure.
By the way, we went to church Sunday, couldn't understand a thing, but met some missionaries from Utah and had fun talking to them. So wonderful to go partake of the sacrament and sing our hymns! We felt such a wonderful spirit there.
Now to find a skirt that Vika likes so we can take her to church. Everything we have shown her so far, she hasn't liked! EEEEEK!
Take care and we will post pictures soon!
Jaynie

You are brave souls to just jump in with an ADOLESCENT! Welcome to my world and instant insanity, backtalking, frustration, and disbelief about behaviors.(lol) Seriously, I'll bet she is a wonderful girl and so excited to be adopted. I am so glad to hear things are moving along. Hope you are able to find your boy and still be home in 3 weeks. I will be most impressed if you make it. Kudos to Alex! I continue to pray for you as well. Can't wait to see pictures.
