Hello Russia!

I know it's been a while since I posted on this blog … but I set this up mainly for my Russia trips. Well guess what?

[[http://man-page.homelinux.org/~rodney/galleries/Russia2005/title_img_sm.gif]]

I'm headed back there in 1 week! Friday September 22nd to be exact … wow, I need to get to the candy, dollar general, and travel stores! :-D

We have a somewhat small group this year. But at the same time, we have 2 NBC ladies headed to Ekat for a 1+ year stint (Short Term International Trip). So we should be good to engage the usual 5 classes of English lessons.

For those praying for us … please pray

students would turn out for the English class testing
close connections for those who come
that the students would like to spend time w/ us
that the Holy Spirit would give us the words to say and that the students would see His Love and we would not get into the way
that Darin's downs syndrome son Bear would be accepted in Russian's schools
for culture shock for the new peeps going to Ekat
for the new church being estabolished and the stinters living there for the next year
and (of course) for openness to the Gospel and to Jesus as their saviour!!

Hopefully I will be able to update you all from Russia. I have yet to stay in a hotel for more than 1 year. Our hotel last year had an internet connection and the year before we found an internet hotspot. I will try to keep this blog current during my trip. Thanks so much for reading and praying!! … Paka (see ya …)!
