The snow, my clean house(Thanks to Ludmilla, a lady from our Church, who needed temporary, flexible work and would never take money from us. We offered her a job cleaning, ironing and occasionally cooking!!! Life is good!!! The extra time I now have is suppose to be spent working with Gideon, but so far the majority of it has gone to surfing the Net for the vacation of a life time to Hawaii~scheduled for May 2008!!! Pray that I would find the perfect vacation, so I can spend this valuable time teaching Gideon his ABCs!!!) and the lack of sleep from staying up chatting with Jill last night, while we were in Ivanovo, have all lead to this... Before The Final Touches Our Christmas Tree!!! I love Christmas!!! Since we are not spending Christmas at home(We are going to Ivanovo for the Thanksgiving Celebration to beat all Thanksgivings~including 3 different turkey options, 2 varieties of stuffing-or dressing, a million sides, 3 different pumpkin desserts and best of all possibly 19 people to share this wonderful season of giving thanks!!!)and Russians, of course, do not celebrate Thanksgiving, we have officially kicked off the Christmas Festivities!!!
The journey of the 4 Sullivans began over 14 years ago and often resembled the life of nomads. The majority of our journey has been in Russia…learning the language, loving the people and sharing the hope found only in a relationship with Jesus Christ. We currently call Saint Petersburg home and love being able to share the great love of Christ with those around us.
