We've arrived!

After a few delays and setbacks, Lucy and I have arrived safely in Russia. Immediately it feels like returning home; our brains have switched to Russian (I am always amazed how quickly I can begin to remember and understand what people are saying to me) and we have begun meeting up with old friends. This trip will be a shorter one than usual - only 14 days in Russia. I am sure it will feel rushed at the end, but for now Lucy and I are just enjoying the good feelings connected with having returned to our second home.

I (Dan) learned today that I will be preaching this Sunday in church. Please pray for the service, that God will inspire me and speak clearly through me, jet lag and language differences notwithstanding. Pray too for God's blessing on all the interactions we have with peple over the next two weeks. We want to make the most of our time here, especially investing in maintaining the strong friendships and ministry partnerships we have. Those are our two biggest requests at the moment.

Thank you once again to everyone who encouraged us to go and to all who remain faithful in supporting this ministry. We feel so privileged to get to be the "goers" and don't take for granted that you have made that possible by being "senders" - thank you!

God Bless

Dan & Lucy
