It was a good week

We just got back from a trip to Moscow for meetings and for getting our Ukrainian Visas. As Jerry said earlier, we got our visas!!! That is great news.

It was an extra special time in Moscow because some of our team mates from our last 2 years were also in Moscow. We were able to spend time with the Mason family and the Hecock family. Although there were 10 of us in the guest flat, we had such fun with the kiddies and their parents. It has been a while since we have seen them and fellowshipped with them.

During the day Jerry was in meetings and I had fun helping cook meals for the leadership team. There is a saying…”many hands make light work”. I had a good time laughing and solving the world’s problems together with Lisa and Shelly.

Everyone got together one night to celebrate JB’s 30th birthday party. It was so good to get together with the Crouches, Merrills, Volstads, Diane, Eliel, Masons, and Hecocks and spend an evening enjoying one another’s company. Ok, we actually nearly cried several times from laughing so hard, that is good medicine for the soul, I needed that. I sat around and watched how the little ones ran around, playing with each other and it made me think of when our kids were the little ones running around with the others. It hasn’t been that many years ago and yet…it has…thank you God for our great kids and Your plan for our lives!

It was a good week, but, it is really good to be back home…sleeping in our own bed, talking with our kids on skype and seeing our new friends. Today we go to the University to begin a full week of English conversation classes. Please pray with us as we seek God’s direction in this new door opened to us. ~kim

So glad you had a good trip...laughing so much is definately good medicine. It's amazing how we don't realize how much we've missed it until we do it! I love traveling, but yet it's always nice to have your own bed when you get home too! Thanks for you posts on our blog...somebody reads it! =]

Reading your blogs makes the world feel very small. Raleigh, my husband, and I enjoyed watching your video. We went to Nyack College with Tim and Shelly Crouch. I am glad you have a "family" in your adopted country. Keep writing. :) Tammi NSAC
