We made it to Moscow smoothly and have spent most of our time so far just getting settled in our apartment and unpacked. We have also been trying to figure out what is close by to our apartment. We praise the Lord for a smooth trip here with no problems or delays. All of our bags arrived with us and our apartment seems to be in a great location. We are near a metro and Deana is very close to her tram stop to get to language lessons. Shopping for groceries is close by and Kellan's school is just a bus ride away.
We thank you all for your prayers and support! We also thank our team we have joined helping us get into our apartment and get other things done. We also thank Lori, Drew, Mark, and Ben for driving us around and keeping the kids several needed times. All of you are GREAT!
Please pray for us as we begin language study next Monday. We will be in full-time language for at least 1 year. I will be taking language at a local institute every day from 10-3. Deana will be taking lessons from a Russian language 1-on-1 from 12-3 each day. We know that this is going to be very hard and take lots of time and commitment on our part. We also know that this will be key in the effectiveness of our ministry!
Please pray for the kids as they stay with their aunt and cousins during our language for a couple of weeks and then will have a Russian nanny named Olga! Pray for this transition especially for Ella. She will be with Olga for the next year. Kellan will begin school in mid-August. Hope you enjoy some of these pictures. We will try to update again soon.
