Eastertime?

Here in Russia Easter falls on May First this year since we follow the Orthodox Calendar for holidays. So have a great Easter.

We have mostly settled into our new home and we praise God for providing everything we need. Cecil is very busy with language study at the University and is in class almost five hours a day five days a week. Tonya has been active forming connections with people, and has begun ministering in an orphanage once a week. Vera has begun ballet classes twice a week and Timothy wants to take swim lessons this summer.

We finally got a newsletter together and mailed them out this week.

Monday is a holiday, so we are having Cecil's class over. They are from Korea and China. It will give them a break from the dormitory and hopefully open an opportunity to share Christ with them. Please pray for them to find Jesus.

There are many ministry opportunities here and lots of obvious needs to be met. Please pray for us to have wisdom and to hear from the Holy Spirit about how we should get involved and how to start. Soon we will need to find a garage so that we can get a car. In time we will need to get a place to base our operations out of. So many short range and long range plans. We just want God's plan.
