I am going to do a fast post so that this picture makes it on the blog. I have tried 6 times and each time something happens. Here is the first reunion of brother and sister. Yana was caught totally off guard. They called Koyla down and we did not know it. The director was asking Yana questions when Koyla walked in the door. This is too precious of a time, it brings tears to the eyes, at least to Mama's eyes.I will share other pictures later. We are off to the beach for a day with Koyla. Yana is with her friends for a special weekend. This weekend is graduation for Yana's class. She is here for the celebration. She is having a ball. I will fill in the details later.

What a precious, precious moment! Brings tears to our eyes as well! :)
Rick, Fran, Yana, Koyla,
I thought it would be nice to give the guys at the Saturday morning bible study a chance to read your happenings and post a comment. My prayer has been for my friend Rick and God's merciful deliverence of coffee. I would hate to see him go too long without his go-go juice, it could cause an international incident. We are all very excited and happy that things are moving so fast and so well. Keep posting.

Hi, Rick and Fran! This is David Sherman. How are you guys? It sounds like everything is going so well for you. (Rob was telling us about how things usually go.) We look forward to see you'all again, with Koyla. By the way, what a great picture of Yana and Koyla. God bless you!
Hey Rick.....this is Doug Edwards and I am honored to know people such as you and Fran. What you are doing is missionary work for the Lord that requires great sacrifice and my wife (Michelle) and I will be praying for both of you in that God's will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. God's blessings to you both.
Doug
Hi Rick, This is Tim Terry. We are praying for you and are glad things are going well so far. May you continue to be blessed.
Rick and Fran:
We`are missing you both and praying for God's blessing on your journey.Rick, as we were having coffee I couldn't help but think of the incredibly wonderful coffee your having in the Ukraine--We'll save a cup for you on your return.
We look forward to meeting Koyla.
Love and Blessings

We like Victor's shirt too ;-)

Great picture - can't wait to see more!
Rick and Fran, what a priceless picture! We are so happy for all of you and pray God continues to lead you through this fast path! There are no words for your picture. God bless this time while you and Koyla get to know each other and Yana takes in all the Ukraine offers her. I wonder how many dried fish she's eaten :-)
God bless,
Debbie & Dale
what a blessing this is for us to participate in! Thanks for communicating all that is happening to you. It's heartwarming...and so like God!
We'll pray for sleep and Godspeed and healing for Victor's son.
Love, the Qs
Hi everyone..the picture was so touching, you can really see how happy this reunion really is, how great you and Rick made the sacrifices for this to happen...a day at the beach sounds so uplifting compared to your last trip..Yana have fun but remember we want you back with the rest of your family who loves you..God Bless we love you.Aunt Angie
I am amazed you had the camera ready! Enjoy your weekend! God Bless!
Dear Rahn's,
What a joyous surprise... Thank goodness you caught that magic moment! Koyla's hug is so tender... I can't wait to meet your sensitive son. :-)
We had trouble with the internet, too. Thanks for being persistant and we look forward to your updates.
Prayers, peace and love,
Terri, Stan, Ella, and Art
p.s. Art is so excited to meet Koyla but he's nervous that he can't communicate in Russian anymore. Do videogames require language???? :-)
Loved the picture! I'm so glad you are getting to enjoy some time there with Koyla. What a precious little guy (big guy, sorry). The boys are ready to go see Giny's new brother!
God Speed,
Laura
The reunion in the director's office brings back great memories. I'm so happy for Yana and Koyla...Mama & Papa too!
Elliott wishes he was there!
Yeah God!
