We are back to training!<\/p>\n

The first day of training for the CBU and Vanguard teams has finished and the teams are all sleeping soundly after their first full day in Russia.<\/p>\n

The teams send their greetings to friends and family from Saint Petersburg, Russia! They are excited to be finally in Russia, after such a long time of preparation for their trip.<\/p>\n

On the first day of training the teams went through an orientation where they found out the \u201cdos and don\u2019ts\u201d of living in Russia! As well as learning some Russian alphabet, numbers and colors. Very important things to know when working with kids!<\/p>\n

In the afternoon each one experienced riding the underground metro, which is exciting and terrifying at the same time. You have to get in and get out of the train very fast, along with the other 5 million Russians who live in St Petersburg!<\/p>\n

The inside of the underground metro is beautiful! Each station has its own history, and decorated in various forms of art. Take a look at the\u00a0 picture on the left!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once they got out of the metro, they saw the beautiful sight of the Spilled Blood Cathedral, which looks like a gingerbread house with all the colors and beautiful domes. Inside it is filled from floor to ceiling with paintings in mosaics showing the Bible in pictures!<\/p>\n

Please continue to pray for the teams as tomorrow they start their second day of training: Language and History! And, for safety in the city as they go to the Hermitage Museum; one of the greatest museums in the world. It holds Rembrandt\u2019s \u201cProdigal Son\u201d painting; in front of which you will find people standing for hours admiring the artwork Rembrandt had as he portrayed the amazing parable from the Bible.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your prayers and for your comments! Everyone sends their greetings!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
