Home Sweet Home

Hey everyone!

We are finally here in Vologda! I am so excited to start teaching. Our classes start Sept. 8. We will begin testing tomorrow though. This town is great, and so far everyone has been nice. I will have pictures up soon, and hopefully some interesting stories once I finally start teaching!

Until nest time,
Because of Christ.

Here We Go Into the Wild Blue Yonder...

Well I am here in St. Petersburg. In a couple of days we will travel by train to Vologda. There was quite an adventure getting here. We were scheduled to fly from LAX to Chicago to Vienna to St. Petersburg. Everything was fine until part of the way through our flight to Vienna. Another passenger started getting violent, and they had to restrain him. Because of that we had to make am unscheduled stop in Amsterdam. We took so long that we missed our connection to St. Petersburg. There were no more direct flights, so we had to backtrack to Munich to get a connecting flight to Russia. We finally made it to the airport a little after midnight local time, but we didn't get to the flat where we are staying until about 2:30 am. Even though it was a long two days, it is such a blessing that we made it here safe and with all our luggage.

Thanks for your prayers and financial support!

Because of Christ
