https://poemainenglish.wordpress.com/2007/09/14/hello-from-the-eternal-ice-land
For we are His workmanship. September 14, 2007. Hello from the Eternal Ice Land. Shawna and I are in the heart of permafrost country: Sakha-Yakutia. It’s just the middle of September, beginning of fall, and it’s already cold. Happy people they are: potatoes already collected, berries picked, harvest reaped. On the bank of the Lena river (shallow in the fall). Anton’s birthday party (playing a strategy game). Vicky and kids (getting ready for the guests). Empty tables (the cake disappeared within minutes).

For we are His workmanship. December 28, 2007. The wedding …. The holidays have finally begun. The first in the row is the Ivanovs’ wedding.

Tired and happy newlyweds ….

Fall in Krasnoyarsk | Poema
https://poemainenglish.wordpress.com/2007/11/10/fall-in-krasnoyarsk
For we are His workmanship. November 10, 2007. At the end of October we went to Krasnoyarsk again for a training session. At first we had a plan to go there by car, so we could see all the beauty of the Siberian fall, however, man can make plans, but only what God wills, happens. So we had to go by train. The training was beyond any expectations. What did they not do to us, what did they not put into us, what did they not try to rid us of! And they would be right too! Do you recognize those ladies?

Altai | Poema
https://poemainenglish.wordpress.com/2007/12/15/altai
For we are His workmanship. December 15, 2007. Mark and I (Tanya) went to Gorno-Altaisk to visit our friends there and move Mark’s stuff toUlan-Ude. There were just 3 days there to do it all: to meet as many people as possible and to go through the stuff. Thank you for your hospitality! All of it needed to be looked through and divided into essential and non-essential (which was left there). An Altai family we love a lot (Erman, Alissa and baby Biyaroo). Laquo; Generation NEXT.

Better early, than late | Poema
https://poemainenglish.wordpress.com/2007/10/20/better-early-than-late
For we are His workmanship. October 20, 2007. Better early, than late. There’s an old Russian tradition not to celebrate your birthday earlier than it is better to do it later than earlier. In the latter case, something bad will happen. Of course, this is not true, so this year we ventured to celebrate our birthday 2 weeks prior to when it should be (Usually it is the last Sunday of October). Out of the mouth of babes. Already a traditional song from Tanya. Another tradition – karaoke. The wedding ….

What happened by the river … | Poema
https://poemainenglish.wordpress.com/2007/09/07/what-happened-by-the-river
For we are His workmanship. September 7, 2007. What happened by the river …. Everything was quite relaxed: after Sunday service a bus came and picked up everyone who wanted to go. Actually there were ‘a little bit’ more than the bus could normally fit, but that was even better there were THAT many people. We arrived, set up tables, listened to. Testimonies, watched the baptisms, and just relaxed. Those who fit in the bus. Pasha went wild. Crime scene evidence (pouring water on innocent people).
