Happy Leap Year. It's been so busy this year that an extra day has been added. Well, that's our explanation, anyway.
First, some family news. Tonya's folks came from Siberia for a visit with us.
They watched their grandchildren while Cecil and Tonya went Stateside for Cecil's medical evaluation. Cecil turned out to be basically healthy, although he has been told to take some more vitamins and other preventive medical stuff. He should check back in several years. We are glad for the good report.
Our talented volunteer helpers kept the ministry going for the time we were gone. Grandchildren and Grandparents seem to be doing fine as well.
We started doing some cooking lessons at an orphanage in town. They have a kitchen we are allowed to use, and the kids seem interested in learning to bake cookies.
And yes, we ate the cookies.
Game nights and movie nights continue. Attendance is good.

We are getting back onto a regular schedule. Trying to keep the homeschooling on track along with the other things.
Please pray for the students of our home-school to be self-motivated, and for the teachers to have a good attitude.
Your workers in the Russian Far East,
Cecil, Tonya, Timothy, Vera & Diana
