It Is Official!!!
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!!!
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.
