We are alive and safe

We are alive and safe in Russia. The internet does not work well in our hotel room so we have to go to the lobby. We had uneventful flights, except I lost one of my flip flops while boarding the last plane and a Russian woman gave it to me. She didn't look too happy. We should get to see Sam tomorrow. His orphanage is about 2 hours away from St. Petersburg. Thanks for all of your prayers.
