Ok so here we are in beutiful Krasnoyarsk in the centre of the biggest continent in the world which covers 11 time zone. wow elen time zones. the sun is rising in Vladavostock and going down at about the same time in moscow. how amazing is that. what a great country to be living in.

Today is a balmy -26 degrees celcius and we went off to church. A good time was had by all.

the christmas season hasnt started here yet as christmas is the 7th of January but news years eve is the amazing time in russia with fire works going off all night.

we are good ministry is going along at a steady pace but would appreciate prayer on where to focus as we are new here and very small we need to know what god is calling us to.

We are very blessed to have a wonder ful russian family working with us Zhenya and Anya Polozkov who are worth their weight in gold.

As it gets colder our focus has to change a bit. We are going to be helping in n english school for 6 months or so 8 hours a week so that is good because as we help they will give us russian lessons as well. Just the other day we were going around in a circle introducing ourselves when one young guy opens his mouth and says hes having a crap time because his family is going through a divorse, then i had a revelation, when someone gets a divorse it isnt the individual couple but it is the family that goes through the divors. interesting ay

ok thats all for now but please as we lead up to christmas keep it safe enjoy life and remember the meaning of christmas

blessings all and Merry Christmas
