Two Interns arrived yesterday to spend the summer serving the disabled, the sick and the orphaned. We are excited to have Shannon Orr and Savannah Seiple join us in Russia! After spending a month with us last summer as part of a ministry team from Seattle Pacific University, they decided to come for an extended length of time to serve with SunErgos. After getting some much needed rest, they will have two days to do some Russian language training and sightseeing.

Throughout the week I have been staying with a friend, Vanya, and have been so blessed to get to know his family. During down time I study up more on my Russian (though I am learning a lot simply by living here!), or just use the time to have quiet time and refill. Tuesday was spent by, first, getting some sleep as we did not get back to Novgorod till 6am. Following the sleep, I went and helped the SunErgos staff … Continue reading →
