We leave in about an hour for our SDA appointment. It will be good to actually get something going in the process, now that we have mastered public transportation and all. We visited again with Andrey yesterday. Let me tell you, he is deadly accurate with a snowball. We had a great time.
Zhenya, from last summer, is 15 today. He is such a great boy. He always has a smile on his face and a positive attitude despite his circumstances. When I saw him, he recalled every detail of the time we had together at lake day. The thought came crashing down again that he has never had anyone ever invest a moment in his life. To be honest, I had difficulty being happy for him because I know that the clock is ticking for this young man. About a year from now he will be given a blessing and a shove from the orphanange and sent into a proven system for failure. No life skills, no parents, no money, no job. I layed awake half of the night thinking about him and praying for his future.
I hope today will be a step in the right direction for Andrey. Blessings to all of you.
