We made it home safely from Russia!  Two members of our team are still in Russia - Elya and Daniel stayed behind for a couple of extra weeks so they could spend time with family so I would ask that you continue to keep them both in your prayers.  What an incredible experience!  Each year the mission changes and it was such a privilege for me to be a part of this year's mission.  Running two VBS sessions in one day was exhausting, but at the same time we were able to reach more children which is one of the main purposes of the mission.  We cemented friendships that began last year and made new friends.  One of the things that I love the most about VBS is just watching the kids and seeing them learn about the God who loves them and gave Himself for them.  For both the adults and the children to ask for the team to come back next year is the greatest compliment we can receive and at least for myself, and I know for many others on the team, some of the people we have grown to know in Russia have become like an extended part of our family.  God is so wonderful and seeing Him working through our team and in the hearts of the people there is just such a joy!
