After more than three months of waiting, the part for our broken clothes dryer was supposed to be installed this afternoon. However, it seems that as we get our hopes up in the morning, we often spend the end of the day saying, "Well, that's Russia.". Well, that's Russia. Links to this post. Monday, October 27, 2008. Back from our first adventure. 1 Christian lessons from the life of a ch...

Sunday, December 14, 2008. I am sad today. Last night I received the news that my Aunt Lee died after a bout with cancer.

Aunt Lee was always willing to share one of my favorite meals with me. steamed Maryland blue crabs. And when I came home, a crab feast with her was always on the agenda. She even participated in several crab feasts that ...I could spend count...

Sunday, January 10, 2010. Wrapping up in Karelia. Sunday, January 10, 2010 – Petrozavodsk, Russia – Republic of Karelia. We are wrapping up our work in Karelia today. As with most places in Russia, I really hate to leave. This morning was disappointing. When we arrived in Karelia we had the address and phone number for a congregation of believers in Petrozavodsk. However, the church had the times of the services posted on the two and twice we tried to connect with the believers here, but to no avail.
