\"\"<\/a>Hello Everybody,<\/p>\n

We have been in St. Petersburg for a week now, and what a week it has been!<\/p>\n

Our first couple of days here was spent training and learning about Russia\u2019s History and the Russian Culture, followed by some delicious Russian home cooking.<\/p>\n

Over the past weekend we are also able to do some site seeing and learn even more about St. Petersburg.<\/p>\n

On Sunday we attended a local protestant church and it was a true blessing to be loved by fellow Brothers and Sisters.<\/p>\n

Our week has started and will end with afternoons spent with the children at the HIV Orphanage.\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>These kids have truly found a special place in our hearts.\u00a0 The laughter and kindness brings joy to your soul.<\/p>\n

Each day they are so excited to see and play with us, little do they know that we are just as excited.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Please continue to be praying for us as we finish off our week here in St. Petersburg, and then next week head to Novgorod.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
