We are limited in what we can do and where we can go that we are 
starting to become very bored. I think Jacob may be a little bored himself. He was in a bit of a fussy mood today. We did get a few good pictures. 
Also, I decided to add a couple of pictures of the orphanage. One of the outside and one of their sleep room. 
I have more to show when we get home. There it is again “HOME”. Can’t wait. 
We had a long busy day yesterday and got in the bed very late, so I’m cutting this short today so we may get thru e
arlier tonight and get some much needed rest. The heat will drain you in a matter of day or two.
I can’t remember who it was that told us about the Steak House Bravo, but THANK YOU very much. We went there last night and it was wonderful. James even liked it and he hasn’t liked much of anything we’ve eaten here, except McDonald’s and TGIFriday’s. We plan to go back soon. It is very close to our apartment. About a 5 minute or less taxi ride. I finally got to try the National Ukrainian Soup called Borche (spelling??). It was OK. I could eat it but I don’t plan to order it again. James wouldn’t even try it. It’s my understanding that every cook’s borche tastes different. I would imagine sort of like our vegetable soup tastes different from cook to cook. Anyway, I think we will survive. I am looking forward to Mama’s bucket steak, biscuits, and gravy. Then after that I want Mexican (real Mexican). We tried so called Mexican.
We love and miss you all.
Love,
JTJ

Hang in there. All children are worth what we go thru to finally get them. We never know what God has in store for us. Everyone here is still praying for you. Even people you don't know.
May God Bless all of you!!!
That was the worst part of all, boredom. We told you guys to take things to keep you busy, and you even get bored with THOSE things. You are used to being on the go and doing things, I'm sure, like us. You just have to stop and be content with where you are and with what you are doing. Ps. 46:10 says, Be Still and Know That I Am God. We did that for a while and then we got out and walked, walked, walked. We were feeling in shape by the time we got back, but it may be too hot for you guys. It was in the 20's and 30's when we were there and GLOOMY. Is Andrew there with you? Make him show you around, we found stores, like small malls that didn't look like anything on the outside but they were fun to look through.
With court date on the 2nd, it looks like you can get the birth certificate on the 12th or 13th. We have looked at the other couples blogs, and it looks like their adoption is going about like yours. We're praying for you!!!!

Hey ya'll! LOL a little southern slang to make you feel at home. Glad to hear that things are really starting to progress with court and Jacob. Izak is really starting to make Jacob sound clearer. I can not wait till you get home so the two of them can meet. I am praying for you daily and you are in Izak's nite nite prayers too. Oh, Amy says to tell you hi and that she misses you! I miss you guys more and more everyday. Oh James I don't like the idea of you being gone I see a different DP man every other day. I got used to seeing you every other day! LOL!! I know that getting Jacob home is much more important though! Can't wait till you get home!
love and miss ya,

Dear TJ&J,
We had a great day at church. Laura joined and will be baptized. We didn't have Sunday School - testifing and singing and praising the Lord. We closed with an alter of prayer for the both of you and Jacob and Andrew. We know that God can do great things if it is His will. Everyone's thoughts and prayers are on you and for you. The Spirit was so real and joy was all around. I just kept praying that you would be able to feel it also. That God would just wrap His arms around you and give you such a peace.
We miss you greatly, maybe it won't be too long now. Hoping that God will speed things along.
Give Jacob a hug for us and keep the faith.
Love,
Becca
Hi James, Teresa and Jacob,
It was great to see the pictures.What a handsome son you have! God will truly bless you with the wisdom you need along with the patience to get through this trying time. We know that prayer works---it always has in our lives. We are praying for your safe return everyday and hope that the court date is set and that God will have his Hand on a speedy processing. We miss you all and can't wait to meet Jacob in person. Remember Psalms 18:32. Take care and we'll check back in soon. Love, Sadie & Kevin
Hi James, Teresa, & Jacob
It was good to talk to you. I know you guys are ready to come home and we are ready for you to come home. The pictures are great, Jacob looks like he is having fun. You know Teresa you mention in your message friday asking the church to have a alter prayer for you guys; Christa and I were talking friday and we both said the same thing. I know God is with you three and he knows what holds tomorrow. We all know All Things Are Possible Thur GOD. As Becca has already mention we had a wonderful service Sunday Morning. We will continue to pray that if it be Gods will that you will have a speedy process in the court and you won't have to wait the 10 days. We miss you & James
Love Ya
Tammy & Phillip
