On March 2, 2002, after many delays, long flights and longer layovers, we, along with our 10 suitcase, 3 carry-ons, stroller, car seat and pack-n-play, arrived at the Moscow airport. We were greeted by Mel Skinner and a trillion other people, who I thought were all welcoming us to Russia, but were really just asking if we needed a taxi!
Gideon was 6 months old. I was a new, nervous mom. And Keith was anxious to get to work! I will not bore you with all of the details, even though many funny, most I have repressed to some dark place in the very depths of my memory! Even though I would not want to go back to March 2, 2002 (for any amount of money!!!), I will say that I have grown to love Russia, especially Yaroslavl, and am thankful for the journey God has brought me on, the lessens He has taught me and for the changes that were required. We serve a mighty God who is full of grace, abounding in love and able to meet all of our needs!
