Map Flags

We received a thirilling phone call yesterday telling us that our dossier has been sent to Nizhny Novgorod (see map at right)! WE HAVE A REGION! We are looking forward to learning more and more about our region and have begun our research already learning that Nizhny is a 5 hour train ride from Moscow and is the 3rd largest city in Russia (one site said 4th...so that is possible too I guess!). One of the most fun things about this news was adding the map flag on the huge world map in B's room...the flag reads, "BABY BROTHER!".
(This map has flags all over it marking friends serving on the mission field and has flags in 23 US states and 5 additional countries marking the destinations of "Made for an Angel" bracelets.)
Well, we just wanted to share our exciting news about Nizhny Novgorod...we have a SON there you know!!
