Yes, Marilyn Speakman heard about us through Erica Williams who met us at a conference in the spring. Marilyn has done one of the most helpful things that anyone can do. She has prayed for us and told others about us. Their church, First Baptist of Pleasant Grove, loaned their bus for the airport trip. They provided a day of fishing and they welcomed us to their church, giving us a few minutes to talk about who we are. We have mande many new friends through Marilyn.
Olga McBride lives in Dothan. She is originally from Russia and is a wonderful translator. She has been driving from Dothan and spending weekdays here in Birmingham. She goes home on the weekends, then is back on Monday morning. Thank you, Michael, for sharing your wife with us.
To everyone who has brought meals, donated clothes, paid for outings, provided transportation, done root canals and fillings; to all of you who hugged the kids, tried out your Russian with them, made jewelry with them, swam with them: you are awesome and God has used you in a mighty way. Thank you from me, and from them.
