On the train

We're thankful the passport came in fine and that John, Haylee, Sean, Paul (John's brother who arrived last night!) and Irina our translator are on the overnight train to Kiev! They almost were not able to get a train car but managed to get one when they checked later in the day. Our friends Jamie and Yuri in Kiev wil pick them all up in Kiev and take them to the US Embassy in the morning to complete final paperwork and get SEan's visa as well as get SEan's medical exam. There is a possibility they could get it all done tomorrow which would be wonderful! We are trying to figure out if it woudl be worth it to change their flight to a day earlier, and what to do about our return flight to SD. If it will be too expensive they can enjoy somemore time with Paul and our Ukrainian friends. Thanks again for praying! I guess Sean has taken well to Uncle Paul...they were having a tickle session when I talked to John. I"m wondering how hel'll do onthe train and if John will get any sleep :)
