Nov 15, CBN Visit

Today we were invited to go to the CBN offices. Karen Springs invited us but then she called this morning and said she was ill. Natalia called and said she would meet us there and to not tell Nicky – she wanted to surprise him. Karen gave us directions to take the subway and we were off! The subway is very crowded and busy all day long. It was easy to find the CBN offices and Nicky was very excited. He was here last year for practice prior to going to the states. He was very surprised to see Natalia and it was like old home night as he talked to everyone. Natasha (the narrator from the Old Russian Shoemaker) kept him while we met with Steve Weber. Steve was very interested in our experience and asked what was going on with Elliott. He offered to get Elliott from the orphanage and he or someone from CBN would keep him till we returned. He even called the orphanage director to pave the way. We went back to the apartment via the subway and got the court decree and headed back to CBN. When we went to the notary – she said we needed some Ukrainian tax ID number to complete the Power of Attorney and we were all stumped. We were late for a meeting with the SENSE people to get a power of attorney for Olas to go to Moldova and get the BC. So we asked if they could also do the Power of Attorney for Elliott to go to CBN. They did it and the P of A is at Sense’s office and Steve will pick it up tomorrow. God is good!!!
