Some of our Moscow friends came up to go skiing and see a hockey game. We tried out a new slope that was not any longer, but had much better snow and a suprise little mogle at the end of one of the runs. We all had a blast, especially Kristie after she discovered the mogul. When she hit it the first time, she was going so fast (not to mention a bit out of control) it sent her sailing and she almost landed in a Tee-Pee they had set up. She was laughing so hard, she went right back up to try it again! ME, however, did not have near as much fun! She is still recovering from her 4AM night New Year's Eve and is sooo grumpy. Ever time we have gotten in the car to go somewhere, she has fallen asleep. It was also -17 C, which also did not make for ideal conditions...especially for the kids! Gideon, at one point said, "My feet hurt." He was so cold, his feet hurt!
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.
