Hello friends!
Team Russia (minus Emily) has successfully arrived in Vladivostok, Russia! We left the base on Sunday
night in the middle of tornado weather. Our flight was delayed because of the weather so we waited and did a little
evangelizing. The flight was 8 hours to Taiwan.
Because of the delay of our first flight, we
missed our original connecting flight, and when we arrived in Taiwan, they
rushed us through the airport to a plane that was waiting for us to take off to Hong
Kong. Do we still get to say we were in Taiwan, if only for, literally, fifteen
minutes?
The flight to Vladivostok was about five hours and was basically uneventful. We arrived very early on Tuesday morning and a staff member of YWAM, Vladivostok, picked us up and drove us to our apartment. We had orientation on Tuesday afternoon. Today (Wednesday) they took us into the city and showed us around and we will soon be leaving for dinner at our contact's house.
Alas, our team will not be complete until, hopefully, Tuesday. Emily's visa was just approved yesterday and she still needs $900 for her ticket. We are praying and
believe that everything will be in order for her to leave on Sunday.
Please continue to pray for us! Pray for Emily (that the funds would come in and also against the spirit of discouragement), for safety, good communication, and that we would really seek out God's heart in everything we do.
Thank you SO MUCH for
praying!
~Rachel for the
team.
