In Moscow the crisp cool breeze and leaves are blowing! We have already started wearing our coats! There is not much news to report from here. We are continuing with our language learning every day! Some days we feel like we are making progress and others we realize what a LONG way we have to go! We thank you for your prayers! Please continue praying for these people we are trying to develop relationships with: Slava, Lena, Karina, and Gleb - this is the family that lives in our building. Greesha and Sabrina work at the renok not far from our house and I have been hanging out with them trying to pracitice Russian and just develop a good friendship. Next Sunday Slava, Lena, Karina, and Gleb will be in our house for dinner and then the next Sunday Greesha and Sabrina. Please pray for these fellowship times and for opportunities to share our faith with our limited Russian! Please pray specifically for Slava and Lena - they are expecting their 3rd child at the first of October!
Finally, thanks for all of the birthday wishes on Tuesday! I appreciate all of the wishes by email, regular mail, facebook, etc.! You helped make my day special! Below, I will explain the pictures you see above. Galations 2:20 - "...I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."
