Well, we're here and in the throes of jet-lag. This year has seemed worse than normal, perhaps because the journey here was easier than normal and we got lots of sleep on the way. Now we're working hard to get our bodies to sleep, wake and eat on an appropriate schedule! We are truly grateful, though, for such an easy trip here and for the nice, clean apartment that welcomed us. Today (it's 5am) we'll go to church and then have friends over. We were glad for the phone call yesterday warning us that they planned to come and spent time with us after church - now we just have to figure out what to feed everybody! Among the guests today will be Sveta, a long-time friend of Dan's, and her husband Andreas. If you followed this blog last year you will remember that we attended their wedding last summer. Andreas is a pastor in Sweden and they are here for just a week, so we're very happy that their time here coincides with ours.
I'm going to try and get another couple of hours sleep before church, but wanted to check in.
Blessings,
Lucy

Dear Friends & Family -
This is a place for those of you who love us to keep in touch. We continue to keep a foot in two worlds - the US, where we are both candidates with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and Russia, where we continue our partnerships with Living Word Church in Yekaterinburg, Chelyabsink Church of God, and the Russian Christian Student Fellowship (CCX). Please post your comments, keep praying, and feel free to come visit! You can also shoot us an email or give us a call on Skype. We love keeping in touch, no matter where we are in the world.
