Hello once again from Russia! It's been a long time since I've been able to put anything on this blog - please forgive me! For those of you who don't get my e-mail updates, Shawna and I spent three weeks away from our village - we went up to Kirovsk, which is near Murmansk (which is near Finland). Last summer we were invited by our neighbor's brother to come learn how to ski in the mountains. It sounded pretty adventurous, expensive, and crazy, but he kept in touch, and finally all the ideas turned into plans, and the plans turned into reality! The awesome thing was, it didn't turn out expensive. We spent a total of 3 days traveling on the train, arrived, stayed with him, his wife, and his grand-daughter, and learned how to ski from a true professional. When I get a chance I'll ramble on about our adventures there, with a 59-year old Russian miner who never stopped yelling orders on the mountain and never stopped talking the rest of the time. It was awesome!
Here's a few pictures - when you see this guy, pray for him!

Jenni, I like that snow skiing. Did you have horses used as your ski lift? We did in China- ahhh but I am sure that the Russian world is so much more advanced.
Love ya girl!
Jenni, Hi, this is Libby Sellers, I don't know if you remember me, I'm from GSCC and I would like to be on your email update list. My email address is stylib38@xprt.net . Thanks. I just found your blog. Wow God uses technology. I have been amazed how God uses it esp for missionaries to be able to be in touch with their support people easier and quicker. I look forward to the updates. Because of Him,
anxious for an update on your kiddos!
Strastwiti, Jenni! Is that how you spell it, in English? I've enjoyed following your adventures! Sheri
