We said goodbye to our dear friends Lena and Julia. They passed through Kyiv on their way to flying to the U.S. to meet Lena's soon-to-be new husband, Ray in Oak Harbor, Ohio. We will miss them when we visit Sumy. We will see them ever now and then when they come for visits.

This is me preaching last Sunday at the Harkivska congregation. I talked about the importance of sharing our story of faith with our friends and neighbors.

This is Larissa, Serge, Serge, and Anya. Big Serge is the preacher at the Harkivska congregation. He has also been helping me with my Russian speaking skills, as I am helping him with his English speaking skills. Serge and Larissa visited us in our home a few nights ago and we had a good time dining and singing after dinner.
