Don't forget to post pics when you are all together! I have been following Nick/Keith for a long time and I am thrilled he (and Kristina) have an eternal family!

(D&C 122: 7)<br> 7 And if thou shouldst be cast into the pit, or into the hands of murderers, and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thou be cast into the deep; if the billowing surge conspire against thee; if fierce winds become thine enemy; if the heavens gather blackness, and all the elements combine to hedge up the way; and above all, if the very jaws of hell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good." <br><br>The Lord is mindful of us in the very details of our lives---He LOVES you and knows you can handle it, or He would'nt give it to you. I always find solace in that knowledge. I hope you can get some rest! <br>Love you!shannonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33192339.post-1567567138603057662008-11-19T00:20:00.000-05:002008-11-19T00:20:00.000-05:00Thanks for the update.

I remember how fragile I felt emotionally after I picked up our son from the orphanage and couldn't get him to eat much and I felt like the translator was kind of blaming me.

I am more than happy to help in any way I can when you get home. We miss you. I am really excited to see you and your new children. I am so glad things went well finalizing the adoption. I think things will be easier when you get home. I am glad you have had the opportunity to sing a lot out there. I am sure you blessed the lives of many people. We love you. We are praying for you. Good luck traveling back to Ohio. See you soon. <br>-SarahSarah Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10601553870783439084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33192339.post-20429927623296638512008-11-17T20:08:00.000-05:002008-11-17T20:08:00.000-05:00Yes, I remember sobbing into the phone to my husba...Yes, I remember sobbing into the phone to my husband as I was still in Ukraine and yet again the passports were delayed with no end in sight!

Your family has been so much on my mind and heart lately that it really felt good to see you. Anna has grown since we last saw her. ^o^<br><br>Thank you so much for the very thorough update and expected schedule. This too shall pass, and it's great that you have such a good record of everything--including feelings. <br><br>Keith could have parasites. Dr. Carol Loechinger, who is a member of Miamisburg ward, has a Bio-Meridian machine that could test for that, and give specific, natural remedies. (We have the phone number.) Something to keep in mind. <br><br>And Twilight sounds like a fun ending to the journey! --KKatheyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12415822375877762820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33192339.post-75278289370628441452008-11-17T16:15:00.000-05:002008-11-17T16:15:00.000-05:00Thank you so much for the update Tyler!

I was hoping to catch up with you after stake conference yesterday (were you and Anna there?), but there were so many people packed into the building I don't think I ever would've found you! <br><br>I can remember so well the overwhelming feelings of exhaustion from the last leg of the journey! I am so glad that your family was able to make the trip over to help her home. Jill and the kids have been in our every prayer and we will continue to pray that they make it home safe and sound! <br><br>Is there anything that we can do for you? Anything that you need? Maybe a meal or two that you can put in your freezer and pop into the oven whenever you need it? <br><br>Hang in there!

Oh, I remember so well that completely spent and overwhelmed feeling. We had a layover in Budapest, Hungary on the way home. Right by the waiting area for our gate was an enmorous billboard. I think it was for a cell phone or something. The gist of it was a woman with hair about the same color as mine lying face down in a field of green grass. She was wearing worn jeans, a t-shirt and no shoes. For all intents and purposes, she appeared to be passed out cold or and otherwise just completely exhausted - except she had some sort of logo symbol above her head - that made her look like she was completely cookoo and losing her mind.<br><br>I told my kids that was Mama and they'd better not mess with me! :-). Yes, I really was THAT tired. I took close up photos of that billboard. They're now the last print in our adoption trip photo album.<br><br>You all have been so blessed to have so much contact with the church during your trip! We had a little bit, which we absolutely relished every last second of, but the church was 70 km away from where we were staying and there were no members or even missionaries in our area.<br><br>It will be fun to see how much your kids change and grow and settle in once they're home. Best wishes for the transition...and don't forget to keep blogging!!!Dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08444891084585965661noreply@blogger.com
