Okay, so we did okay for a little while there with staying up to date on our blogs. Maybe if we fill you all in just a little, you will understand why we have been a little out of touch.

First of all, after our week trip to Prague for the conference, we were home two weeks before heading to Kiev, Ukraine for our Visa renewals. It was quite a crazy experience. We had asked for prayer before regarding the Visa situation here in Russia. According to new Visa laws, we must leave the country by February 12th, and be out of country for 90 days. Then, we may return for 90 days, and so on for at least the next year. Currently, we do not know where we will be going, and there are many logistical things to consider. However, the Lord does know exactly how this will all play out, and we have many people praying through this time that affects all of us. Christ will be our strength and our guide. Please pray with us through this situation. Pray for our leadership as they try to make arrangements on our behalf.

Please continue to pray for our friend, Natalya. She has been coming to our home during the day to watch the Gospel of John movie with us, while reading along in the Bible. Please pray that she will see her need for a savior. We plan to continue meeting with her until we must leave. I have also invited her to church this Sunday, and she is considering coming.

Daegan finally had his foot taken care of this past Monday. He has done really well with it, and after being in all week with it, we are hoping to get out for some sledding this weekend. Thank you for praying for him.

Please send us your family Christmas pictures. It is so wonderful to see how everyone has grown and changed. Please keep us updated on your families as well.
