Dear Bowdens, WOW, this is so great! It is late here, but I couldn't go to bed without thanking you for sharing. What a wonderful and sweet gift you have given us. I know that the missionaries love and appreciate you so much! What a wonderful work you are doing in Russia. Thank-you again! Love, Dan and Laura Ditto.

Dear Elder and Sister Bowden,
I can't tell you how much we appreciate you sharing this! It was very touching! Thanks for your service and taking such good care of our missionaries! This means so much to us!! Each letter from Blake, he mentions both of you and how much he loves you! We feel the same. Thank you and we love you!

Dear Gil and Heidi,

My name is Keri and I live in the Boston area. I adopted my daughter from Kemerovo in 2005. She has a sister there whom we have been trying to adopt for 2 years. Sadly the agency we were using went bankrupt and I lost a great deal of money to them..our window of opportunity to adopt Anya has closed and now we must pursue a humanitarian parole visa (long process)
Anyway, my reason for writing is, I am trying to find any kind-hearted (preferably Christian) person willing to visit Anya and possibly take her to church, be a friend/big sister to her. I can send funds as well. I had a wonderful woman doing this for 2 years, but she has moved to Moscow & Anya is pretty much on her own. If you might know someone, or might be free to visit her yourself, I will be most grateful! You can leave a comment on my blog. I hope to visit Kemerovo this spring as I have not seen Anya since April 2006. She is 17 years old and is currently attending a trade school in Kemerovo. She was at Detsky Dom #2 before this year. God bless!
