Shole Sneg

(that means that snow comes in Kiev)

Leesh and Me with our new coats. Nice coats, but we are relying on God's mercies to keep us warm this winter! It's just getting started good and it's about as cold as I've ever known it!

This is Lena, Nena, Julia and Alicia waiting on the marshrutka after church Sunday. The church in Sumy are doing well. We were happy to be able to travel there to be with them. If you look closely, you can see the snow falling in the camera's flash.

Lena and Julia are often our hostessess in Sumy because we can all communicate in English. We are learning Russian, but our conversations are long enough for greetings. We're working up to our conversations to be the length of "tea," one day maybe we'll achieve a meal's length of conversation.

This is Brett sitting at home in the "office" talking on Skype. (brett.alicia.white). Note the inside clothes.
