Just wanted to send out a short update of what has been going on with us! Some day we will learn to carry our camera! We forget it everytime we go out. This past week was a good week for us.
Sunday 27th - We were able to worship at the Golovinski church and see many old friends and people that many of the volunteer teams I brought over worked with the past 4 or 5 years. It was a blessing to be there. I was able to play the piano for a quartet to sing 3 songs. She gave a testimony of how God sent me on that day to play for them. We were able to eat at Starlite Diner on the way home :) It was yummy and the kids enjoyed it. I went to hear a 4-handed organ concert at a Lutheran church here in Moscow. It was very interesting.
During the weekdays we work hard on language learning. Deana has LOTS of homework each night. Thankfully I only have to review the lesson from that day. I can sense some small progress and enjoy trying to talk to people at times.
Deana enjoyed a ladies night out on Tuesday night with fellow missionary ladies. They had a Bible study time and enjoyed the evening together. On Thursday I was able to go out to eat with some of my language classmates - 4 Koreans, 1 Spaniard, 2 Italians, and 1 Russian. One of the Korean's who was once in my group invited all of us to a authentic Korean restaurant and paid for all of us to eat!! I also met South Korea's military attache here in Moscow. I have no idea what I ate but we had a good time together. You will see a picture of our group above!
On Saturday our neighbors invited us to go along with them to Mega ( a shopping mall on the outskirts of Moscow) to ice skate and eat. Kellan LOVED ice skating for the first time ever and they took us to a Portugese restaurant to eat supper. We enjoyed spending time with them and continuing to try to develop and good relationship with them.
This past Sunday we were able to worship at Good News Baptist Church and saw some other old friends and again treated ourselves to Starlite Diner since it was on the way home.
Just wanted to fill you in on the week. Many of you have asked about it and thought this was the easiest way to answer. Your prayers are appreciated!!!!!
Please pray for me as I answer LOTS of questions about the Baptist faith from fellow students and teachers at the University I attend. I want to answer in a way that presents the gospel and also gives them a desire to find out more!
