Thank you to all who upheld us in your prayers as we departed Krasnoyarsk and traveled back to the United States.   The Lord’s provision and protection was evident from the very beginning and all glory goes to Him for a very good trip back.  Each leg of the trip was the best flight that we have ever had!  The Lord provided in a great way in Krasnoyarsk as we were charged only half of what we were expecting to pay for our extra baggage and all of the carriers honored that payment through to our final destination!  The Lord’s protection was evident as we flew into New York, JFK on the heels of one of the worst storms that has hit that region in some time.  The landing was very turbulent and rough, but we had no idea what was going on until we were in the terminal and heard that there had been tornados and several killed as a result of the storm.  The Lord was gracious and protected through it all!

Now that we are back in the States, we are busy trying to recover from jet lag as well as planning our trip up to Newfoundland for our month-long survey trip.  Overall, everyone is adjusting well to the time difference and the kids are enjoying being able to ride new bikes all over Mimi and Bumpa’s yard.  Please continue to keep us in prayer as we seek the Lord’s wisdom about when to travel up to Newfoundland and how to travel up there — flying versus driving up and taking the ferry.

Thank you again for your prayers and for faithfully supporting us as we traveled back to the States.  We will continue to keep you updated as we move forward towards this new ministry to which God has called us.
