This week, since the first 2 teams left, has gone by quickly, but has been pretty full as well! 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 →

You can track their progress on the Lufthansa website, here.   Their first flight is: LH 1462.  Then their second flight is:  LH 456. Make sure to enter the date of May 29th, 2012.

Yesterday was our last day with the kids at the Transit Center. While it was one of the hardest days that any of us have endured, it was also one of the happiest. Being the last day we could spend with these kids we had planned a party for them; little did we know that they had plans for us as well. After we got the kids ready for the party we came back together to dance and hangout, and just enjoy our last few hours with them. When they returned we were informed that they had planned a special … Continue reading →

Hello again. Thank you so much for all of your prayers for our ministry here. We had a fantastic day of camp on Wednesday with a lesson on encouragement. Everyone on the team really came together to plan, organize and execute the lesson and activities for the camp so well after a more difficult previous day at camp. We were all so pleased to see all the kids come up to write multiple examples of encouraging words on the poster board–it was such a pleasant surprise that the lesson was so well received by the kids. After our fun day … Continue reading →
