Nastya has a Summer host family!

OK, it has been an embarassingly long time since I've blogged. Wish I had a great excuse, but I live a life of multiple priorities and this one has just been taking a back seat lately. So, what has brought me out of hibernation, you ask? Well, first off all, I'm away from home, relaxing, with nothing like laundry or dishes nagging at me to be done.

More importantly, I have news to share. For those who did not see it on my FB wall post, I want you all to know that Nastya has a Summer host family! I have had the pleasure of messaging back and forth a bit with her new host mom, Laura, and I can already tell that N is going to have a fabulous time with her family this Summer. You can find the link to the Robey family's blog and their announcement about hosting here.

They are in the process now of fundraising for their last $1,200 to bring Nastya here. I know that many of you fell in love with her as we hosted this past Winter and we very much appreciated everything you did to partner with us to give her a positive experience during her time with us. If you are looking for a way to continue to bless her, please consider donating to help her come back to America this Summer. You can find the link to the donation page here.

Laura appears to be better at this blogging thing than I am so I hope you all will continue to follow the next chapter of Nastya's American experience this Summer. I can't wait to see what new mischief she will get into with this fun-loving bunch!

In the meantime please keep Nastya and the Robey family in your prayers. Even though I have been able to share a lot about Nastya with Laura, there are many unknowns for their family as they prepare for her arrival. And Nastya will not even know until well into the month of June that she is being hosted again so please pray that God is preparing her heart appropriately for her next visit. Her well-being is part of our daily prayers here and we are excited to see how God will continue to fulfill His promises to her through her time with the Robeys.
