Barry
I remember many dinners and evenings spent with you! I even remember one game of Pretty Pretty Princess you were kind enough to play with Emma and me! I will always think of you as my big brother and sometimes even a second dad. I know I speak for myself and many others when I say that is a huge blessing to have you in my life being a role model to me. I thank God for you everyday and I am so glad Sveta is being blessed by God with a daddy like you.
Jessi
I may not have known you as long as I have known Barry, but I feel like I do. I feel like I can talk to you about anything and I feel like you won't judge me on what I say. I look up to you and I want to be a Godly wife and mother when I grow up just like you. You are going to be a spectacular mother to Sveta! I cannot wait to see her grow up with you as her mommy!
Sveta
I cannot wait to meet you! I am so excited for you to come home! I pray that you will see me as a big sister and friend! Whenever you have a problem that mom and dad don't understand just come talk to me I'm there for you! I pray for your safety and I hope you get to come home soon!
P.S I really think you will like the color of your room! It's my favorite color! :)
Dear God,
Please be with Barry and Jessi and Sveta while they are in Russia. Surround them with your love for them. Bring them all home safely.
Amen
