We spent the morning sightseeing in Moscow. It was incredible. We had a guide, Anna, show us around to the main places. We saw Red Square, Kremlin, St.Basil's Cathedral, Arbat St., Lenin's tomb (with him in it...that was cool). We learned a lot about Russian history, and even ate some authentic Russian food at a local favorite (McDonalds). We attended part of a Russian Orthodox Church service, which was incredible. I would have loved to take pictures from inside, but it wasn't allowed. Moscow is definitely an incredible city. Quite fast-paced. We rode the subway, which was a trip! We are waiting for our driver to pick us up, and then it is off to Krasnoyarsk. We met another family that is just finishing their adoption at the grocery store (no, they don't adopt kids at the grocery store, we were both shopping). It was a nice surprise. They were very encouraging. Done sightseeing. Now it's down to business. We can't wait to meet Mikhail.

I found your blog through the Robb's who became dear friends during their stay in Russia. We will continue to tune in to your journey and pray that God will connect your hearts with Mikhail. It is beautiful to see how God knits families together and although the process can be difficult, be encouraged that it is all happening in His time.
