OUR FIRST RUSSIAN GUESTS!


The mountain dew bottles even look like booze here!


The view from our kitchen window.



The food our neighbor brought over, which put our egg salad and homemade brownies to shame. It is a swedish roll with raisins, nuts, cinnamon, etc. - french cream danishes with fruit on top, and Russian bread with a fruity middle! Tasty! Tasty! :)


Our neighbors from the 1st floor!


We just wanted to say thanks to all of you who prayed for our time with our neighbors tonight. We had a good time together and were able to communicate enough to make it through the evening. We will continue to try to build a close relationship with this family in the next few weeks.

Language classes are consuming almost all of our time here. I am sure we are learning LOTS each day, but it seems so slow when you want to be able to talk to other people. Deana is enjoying her teacher, Elvira. I am in class at the university with 3 other men. 1 from Spain, 1 from Italy, and 1 from Korea. As you can imagine, our class can get very interesting.

Some of you have asked for our mailing address. If you will send us an email requesting it, we will send it to you. It took a letter mailed from the states exactly 3 weeks to get here. Please continue praying.
