Happy 4th of July

We went out to the camp to visit Vacya today.  There was a really nice lady who works there that was telling us how much she loves Vacya.  She said he's very kind and likes to help with things around the camp.  It was so nice to have a caregiver be positive and tell us good things about him after all of the negative things we've heard at the orphanage.  Vacya seemed to be in good spirits. We told him that the court hearing had to be changed again and will hopefully happen next week. 

After spending some time at the camp, we drove the rest of the way to Sudak to spend a few hours at the beach.  Tonight we're going to another missionary couple's home to celebrate the 4th.  I think we're even going to have fireworks :)

Happy Birthday to Alec, Micah, and Malachi.  We're bummed that we couldn't be there for your parties.

Shelby, yesterday Uriye told Tammy that they found Sasha (girl) at a village near the orphanage and she will be coming back in time for school to start!

Beki, if you see Diane at work, can you ask her how Rajah is doing?  I always worry about his breathing in the summer when it gets hot and humid.  Thanks.

It sounds like things are going good. I am glad to hear that someone else is recognizing the good in Vacya and treating him nicely. Hopefully that will make his stay at camp better until he can be with you. I hope that you have a great weekend, and celebrate that Vacya will soon be home in the land of the free! Our prayers are with you while you try to get a new court date. Love from the Hartley's
