We got to talk to Ira this morning! It was so much fun and so good to hear her voice. Some of our friends called to our orphanage to talk to a girl they hosted and that got us super excited to talk to Ira. We ended up using a very sweet Ukrainian girl going to BYU on a 3-way call to the orphanage and it worked great! We just have to be very mindful of the 9 hour time difference.
The best part was that she seemed very excited to talk to us. We told her we loved her and that we hoped to see her soon and she was very excited to know things are moving forward quickly.
As with most girls that age, we'd ask her a question and she'd answer with a very uninformative, "good." LOL We told her we'd call her again when we had a travel date so she knows when to expect us.
It made our day to talk to her and know that she is still very much wanting us to come get her. It was likened to calling home for Christmas on your mission. Very cool, but also a great longing to be there with her. Hopefully soon.
