Preliminary Hearing is Tomorrow!!

Our preliminary hearing is tomorrow (well, technically in the middle of the night tonight since there is a 9 hour time difference...11pm here is 8am there)! Yippee! Please join us in praying that the judge and everyone involved will have had a good nights rest, that the judge will want to expedite getting Elijah home and will issue us a fast court date, that Lena (our rep) will represent us well and advocate for us...there are several possible holdups due to recent changes in Russian regulations but we are praying that our process will not be slowed down as a result. We went ahead and requested our visas last week so we are ready to travel ASAP! Pray, pray, pray!!!
