Dear Friends,
we've been on the run here in the States and have lost track of time. It's
time for another email update from the Eshelman missionaries.
Mostly, we've been traveling and speaking in Churches. We've spoken at a
XA student group, a Bible School mission service, Sunday Schools, and, of
course, Church services. Mostly we've been in North Carolina, but so far we've
spoken in Colorado, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee as well. We dress up
in our "old fashioned" Russian costumes when we go to speak.
We were up in the mountains of North Carolina to speak.
And we got to speak at the Outer Banks as well. A little late in the
season for most swimmers, but not for those who are used to Russia.
It was also good getting to see some folks on Hatteras Island we knew from
when Cecil pastored a church there so many years back.
We have communicated some with our Russian ministry team in Khabarovsk.
They continue to do the Life Skills lessons with the orphans. Please pray that
they remain steadfast and that the Lord would bless the ministry there.
We have tickets to start flying back to Russia on the 8th of December. If
Cecil wants to keep his Russian resident permit - and he does - we can't stay in
the States much longer than that. So we'll need to make sure that everything is
in order for us to leave, even while we continue to travel and speak. Please
pray that we can get everything in order before we go back, there are so many
details to take care of.
As an interesting note to those interested in Mars, one of the rovers was
named by a Russian orphan:
