Hi Kristie, You left a couple questions on my blog I wanted to answer. My first language growing up in East Los Angeles was Russian. But being the 4th child with my older siblings picking up english fast and then going to public school my Russian suffered. My parents made us go to Russian school on Saturdays and I hated that :) My Russian as an adult is dismal. I understand more than I can speak. I have never been to Russia. My 4 brothers have been. Myself and my 3 sisters have not visited. Well I'm filling up too much space here. I'll leave you with a link about my parents in Russia. http://happywonderer.wordpress.com/2007/04/02/thinking-of-retiring/
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.
After graduating from New Mexico State University, Keith was a missionary in Penza, Russia. Kristie graduated from Oklahoma State University and became a Recreational Therapist in Galveston, Texas. Keith and Kristie met and married while attending Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas.
