With the rising temps, (OK, don't misunderstand, it is not hot here yet! It is barely warm enough to melt the snow!) Gideon and ME have been begging to go ride their bikes! Today, the sun was shinning and Gideon reported at 8:25 that almost all of the snow was gone...he sooo exaggerates!!! So, we relented and agreed to go on a bike adventure. Keith prepared the bikes and I made the kids do every chore possible, since they were so agreeable and the threat of not getting to go bike riding was tremendous motivation!!! So, around 11, we loaded up the elevator and headed out. Even though the sun was shinning, I was freezing!!! Gideon rodes is the one small area that the snow had indeed actually melted and after falling off her bike within the first 2 minutes of our totally excited (at least to Gideon) adventure, she was content with pushing her bike! 10 minutes into the adventure, Gideon's chain fell off...ending our adventure! I was so secretly thrilled, but appeared sad and we headed home!
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.
