Counting down the days
I went to the US Embassy this morning to get a personal update on what we needed to complete to get back home. Next Monday (1/7/07) and Tuesday, most things in Moldova will be shut down for the Orthodox Christmas. The Judge's decision will be final on the 14th and then we can start working on their Moldovan passports. This could take a day with the right amout of funding. Then we wait until Wednesday (the US embassy only accepts American visits on Mon, Wed. & Fri.). Where can I get a job like this! If it all goes well, we could be traveling via overnight train to Bucharest Romania on Wednesday night. On Thursday, we would get the children's medical visits completed and finalize everthing at the US Embassy (Romania). We could travel back as soon as Friday (there were Skymiles seats on the direct Romania to JFK flight and arrive into BHM on Saturday at 11PM) last week or take our scheduled flight on Saturday that gives us a forced overnight layover in Paris and home on MLK day. We've enjoyed meeting some Americans that are staying at the same house with us from Nashville. They are doing missionary work at Jon's orphanage here in Chisinau and in the city of Beltz. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers. Mark

Hey Chapmans! What wonderful news! We can't wait to see you and your new triplets. We are continuing to pray for you as you have to adjust to everything. We're praying for safe travels and hopefully you'll get home a few days early.
Love you,

Hello Chapman Family, Happy New Year. It sounds like God has provided a great temporary home for you. I know it is nice to hear English when you are so far from home. We miss you and can't wait til you get home--it won't be long now.
