Whirlwind of a month!

Greetings Prayer Partners and other blog readers!

Sorry for the long time between posts, but this past month was a whirlwind of activity. We traveled to Europe and spent a few days making a loop between Vienna, Budapest, and Bratislava (the beautiful capital of Slovakia). If you have never visited these countries, I recommend seeing them at least once, as you can visit all three capitals by traveling about 150 miles. After this, we went to Turkey for a conference, where we were spiritually renewed and equipped with more training for how to successfully live and work in Russia. The times that always seem most exciting on trips like these are when we meet Russian speakers, as was the case in Vienna and Antalya, Turkey. The question always comes up "Why do you live in Russia?," which gives us the opportunity to mention that God wants us in Russia and to give them a Russian gospel tract.

Here are a few pics from our travels!

Mountains in Slovakia -- reminds me of Colorado a bit!
