Hey y'all,
God has been doing some exciting things here in Vologda. We have been having regular Bible study now for about three weeks. We are so blessed that we are allowed to meet at our University. There are about ten students that come regularly, and many of them are guys. That is such an encouragement, especially here in Russia. Last Sunday one of our students, Julia, came to church with us! She seemed to enjoy it, and she had many questions for our pastor. Please pray that she will want to continue to attend. Also, we had a breakthrough with another student, Ann. She came to the Bible studies as an atheist. While she has not made a committment yet, she is at least open to the idea of God now and has begun to dig in on her own.
This has been a real encouragement for me. I tend to be a skeptic sometimes. I like to prepare myself just in case nothing happens. Carolina is just the opposite though. She never doubts that something will happen. It has been a good lesson for me in faith and obedience. I am learning so much every day about how great God really is. As I study the word I am daily amazed by God's grace and his might. I am so blessed!
Because of Christ

Also, thank you to Mat Karney for the title of this post.

So cool!! I'm excited for you and what is in store this year!! Thanks for updating your blog. I love it.
That's wonderful, Rachel! I'm glad to hear that you guys are doing so well. I didn't know that you were allowed to meet at the school--it's good to know that Diana doesn't object. Keep up the good work!
