We are all getting excited for the holidays. Benjamin is able to be with us in Moscow this year, although he almost didn't make his flight. Upon his arrival in Atlanta he was told that his flight to Frankfurt was overbooked! He anxiously waited for the ticket counter to call his name. And we anxiuosly waited in Moscow to hear what was going to happen. You can imigaine our reaction when he sent this email: "I made it on the plane, literally the last seat available."
Benjamin is now in Germany visiting friends and staff at Black Forest Academy. Lisa is there as well to escort Michael back to Russia. They will fly out of Germany on December 20th but by different airlines. Benjamin will be taking a night train to Frankfurt, then will fly to Berlin to connect with a flight to Moscow. Keep praying for his travels.
Timothy and Dad are hanging out together this week. Timothy has finals at his school (Hinkson Christian Academy). Last week he performed in several skits for the Christmas program -- check out the photo.
