I Will Never… How often have we said those words to do the very thing that we said that we would never do!!! This has happened more often than not, since moving to Russia. Our first year in Russia, I said that our kids would never go to school on Christmas Day…guess where they are today?!?! SCHOOL!!! Just for the morning…then we will meet our totally fun teammates to begin the Christmas festivities-lunch at Texas (a fabulous, local restaurant) and then to our house for movies and desserts!!! Tomorrow, we are planning on hitting the slopes (or at least a near by little hill that has been converted into a ski run with a small T-bar lift). MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! OurChristmasWish… A “SilentNight, HolyNight” asopposedto “Rockin (AKARunning) AroundtheChristmasTree!!!" Nonetheless, “Wewishyou a MerryChristmas, wewishyou a MerryChristmas, wewishyou a MerryChristmasand a happyNewYear!!!”
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.
