It Is Official!!!

St Pete 3 2006

Today, we got the last stamp of approval for our return to Russia!!!  Over the last 6 weeks, we have seen God answer prayers, open doors and reaffirm our dream and desire to return to Russia.  We have accepted a position in Saint Petersburg, Russia, which seems to best meet the needs of our entire family.  The kids will study at the International Academy, a Christian School in English.  Keith will continue working as a Church Planter and after I finish meeting the demands of my family, I will enjoy my new found freedom of having both kids in school!!! 

St Pete 2006

Please pray for us!!!  After 2 years in the States, we have accumulated lots (and are only allowed 8 suitcases), built many wonderful relationships and have loved being so close to our families!!!  Our plan is to finish school, take a family vacation and enjoy our last few weeks with Granny and Grampy in Clovis.
