So thankful to announce that our trip was mostly uneventful! Praise God. When we got to the airport in Chicago they only charged us for 2 bags out of 19 that brought!! We met up with 6 more people in New York and flew to Helsinki and then on to St. Petersburg. There is free wi-fi at the McDonalds next to our hotel and we hope to update from here frequently.
Tomorrow we are going to be with kids from Orphanage #2 at a camp and then out to dinner with orphan graduates.  Several team members visited the children from Orphanage #2 and they are excited to reunite with them!
