Hello Friends and Family!
It has been a really great two weeks here in Vladivostok! We have been doing so many different things! We're finding that missions here means building relationships and we've been doing a lot of that. Once a week we lead a ladies English class in an apartment and we've also helped teach a children's English class twice and will continue with that. We cook once a week for a discipleship class; we've done street evangelism in the city a few times; we're working with a church connected to the YWAM team here and we've helped with and shared at their youth group and homeless church service.
We've met so many people and started so may relationships and we're excited to see where they lead! We're praying for open doors and open hearts that receive.
Our fourth member will no longer be joining us and while we are saddened by this, Jesus has really been showing us how to embrace Him as a member of our team. We are becoming more solidified as a team of three and will continue to be servants of Jesus and work towards love, joy, and hope in the country of Russia.
Please continue to pray for unity and good communication in the team. Pray that God would give us his heart for the things that we do and the people we come into contact with.

Everywhere we walk, there is ice; snow boots are a must.
