Dear family and friends,
We're here safe and sound! Everything was uneventful with traveling, which makes it fine with us. After our flights and train ride, we arrived in Simferopol yesterday morning with a warm welcome by some friends at the train station.
We'll send more information out sometime in the next few weeks. We are definitely going to be adjusting to time here as jet lag is already against us. Last night, it was around 5 AM before we were able to actually fall asleep, and the time we slept in until is embarrassing to even write.
I wrote this in the last e-mail sent out, but for future mailings, please add the following e-mail address to your contact list as we will be sending our updates from there: JasonandEsther@orphanshope.org.
Thanks again for all of your prayers over our traveling and the ministry we are about to dive into. We will already be attending our annual conference for our teens, the Exodus 50 group, this weekend. Jason and I are not expected to present anything, but it will still be busy as we will be tired, and the weekend will be full of planned events. The theme this year is "Relationships." Pray for our Orphan's Hope staff as they continue to prepare and will present tomorrow and Sunday. Pray that our teens would have open hears and minds and that God would speak through the other staff members.
Again, thanks so much for your prayers.
In Him,
Esther and Jason
