Basketball Banquet

Kellan's basketball banquet for Hinkson was a couple of weeks ago. He is receiving his award for "The Most Potential." He had a great season for a 6th grader!

Explaining his award.

First Small Group

Praising God that 12 small groups have started in our church here in Moscow. I am the coordinator of 3 of those groups and am responsible for working closely with the leaders and helping out. One of my leaders was ready to lead, but had no place to have her group, so we opened up our apartment for her group to meet. This is their first meeting together. Pray that this group, as well as the 11 others, will change the lives of many people and that they will multiply to reach others across this great city!

Basketball at the Anglo-American School

The kids had a great season of basketball at the Anglo-American School. They played almost every Saturday from mid-December until last weekend. They both had a great experience. Ella just LOVES it!

Basketball Tournament in St. Pete

Kellan's school team was invited to play in a basketball tournament in St. Petersburg at the end of February. He had a GREAT experience and his team won every game!! They took that fast train up to St. Pete and were able to spend 2 nights there. They enjoyed playing themselves and watching the high school teams play as well.

She has to be like her brother, you know!

February Meeting with Ladies

Deana's meeting with her ladies in February went well. Of course, the topic was Valentine's Day and love. Many of you know Olga Chekalin. She led the discussion and did a great job. You can see pictures of the fun time they had making cookies and decorating them!

Nastia, Zinna, and Marianna working hard to decorate the best cookie.

Time to taste!

Luba is in love!

Zinna's cookie was my favorite.

For a fun activity, they had to draw someone's head on a balloon. It ended up quite funny!

Balloon Heads!

Praise God that each month ladies continue to come and there hasn't been a month yet when non-believer was not present. Pray for the next meeting that will be on April 14th, which is the day before Easter here in Russia. Also, the women from the NC team will participate in this meeting!
