Our Russian Daughters

This is Luba! She and her sister, Nastia, call us mom and dad. We love spending time with them. Our kids love for them to babysit from time to time. We are thankful that they are a part of our church.

It is Luba's 16th birthday party with us!

We made her a yummy, American box cake with extra sweet icing and sprinkles!

I think they enjoyed it!

Luba loves Coca-Cola! So, as a fun present, we filled the bag with 16 bottles of Coke!

In our last prayer letter, I mentioned Vanya. Vanya repented just about a week ago with our pastor. Praise God! Pray for his walk with Christ as he begins this new journey!

B-1 Language Certificate

Deana had her happiest moment in Russia in January once we returned from the Canary Islands. She received the language certificate she needed after passing her exam in December. She will still continue in language, just not as many hours. The best part is - no more testing! Way to go!

Deana's Ladies Group in December

These are pictures from the ladies group that meets with Deana each month. Continue praying for the ladies who attend! They had a great time in December making a Christmas ornament and playing the "white elephant" game.
