I'm finding my happy place. We just recently learned that our potential host institution RAI did not get re-accredited. This puts us in the unfortunate position of having to find a new place to go. Ken contacted the Russian Fulbright office and they were hopeful that they could find Ken a new placement in Moscow but were unsure if they would provide visa's for the family and it may only be a 3 month placement. FRUSTRATION! Ken told them that we would be open to going other places in the Russian Federation and this seemed to open up more possibilities. Right now they are researching places for us to go (I'm praying that we aren't going to Siberia)!
We are trying to be flexible while at the same time working through the issues that a new placement brings up - new school (maybe home-school) for the kids, new classes for Ken to prep for and teach, new schedules and start/end dates and a whole host of small things that can easily overwhelm.
So, we try to step back and trust God to see us through this time in our life. In the meantime, we put up our Christmas tree (we converted to a fake tree this year in an effort to simplify), we spent a week with Ken's mom and step-dad who came to visit from AZ and we live life as normally as possible.
If you have a moment, please pray for us that we will have a place to be in January!
