Warm weather and Russian words

Things continue to go well for us here in the Russian Far East. Cecil's Russian classes continue and he often has new Russian words floating around in his head that he doesn't know how to use yet. Sometimes he can actually create a Russian sentence with three nouns in it, but there is so much more to learn. Tonya continues to be a great housewife and mother, and is using her gift of friendship evangelism. Vera and Timothy are making more friends. Tim is taking some Russian lessons of his own to prepare for school this fall.

The weather has gone through a major change. Two weeks ago we were using our heavy coats and now we are going outside in tee shirts. We are still getting used to the long sunlight hours of the summer, which continue to get longer. Right now the sun sets about 10:00 pm and it is bright enough to wake me up by 6:00 in the morning.

Please pray for our health as we seem to keep getting colds. Also pray for he kid's sleep schedule, it is hard for them to go to sleep with the sun shining bright. Summer break is coming at Cecil's University, and we will be doing some traveling. There are some interesting opportunities opening up during this time, and we are seeking the Lord's guidance and direction.

Praise the Lord all our needs are being met. Our post office box is doing great and we've been getting mail from both within Russia and overseas.

Thank you so much for your prayers and your support.
