Sweet Summer Days?

Hi,
We're back again so soon.

Well, after a Spring which was worthy to be a cautionary tale about the dangers of Global Warming (and this AFTER George Bush was no longer president!) temps have cooled down to what we'd normally expect in early Spring. It's nice to have a break from the sweaty days to come because soon they'll start for real.

We have a lot of travel coming up for the month. Kim has to escort one missionary kid from Germany to Moscow because his parents are having visa issues-not worse visa issues than other times in Russia, just more of the same old, same old.

Then I go to Germany to bring Parker home for the Summer. Traveling with us will be Phil Neilson and Nate Pharr, two fine young men with whom we became acquainted at Crown College the year we were there as Missionaries in Residence.
We look forward to their visit here.

When they leave we travel to Sevastopol (famous in the annals of the Crimean War) to find an apartment for some colleagues who will be living and working there.
Whew!

Through all of this we need to keep up our connections with people here and hope to see some real advancement from friendship with us to openness to organized spiritual discussions.
We'll see how that goes, as you help us with your prayers.

Take care.
