My comming out party

The time arrived for me and I decided to just go for broke. Last week I had the priviledge of traveling to Nizhniy Novgorod. I spent 5 days in NN with our missionary family there, getting reoriented to the city, and meeting the church. I went to school in NN 8 years ago, time really does go by fast. In seeking where God wants me to move next I have felt lead back to NN. This trip was a time to seek God on the ground. I decided ahead of time to do it all in Russian, that's the comming out part.

On Wednesday night I attended a church Bible study where I was able to share my testimony and get to know some of the people in the church. Friday night Chinese students came over and brought real Chinese food with them. Then Sunday morning I did an activity with the kids and instantly connected with them. After church I met with the board and answered some of their questions.

I had a wonderful time. I love the church and the city and I am praying that everything will work out and I will be back there permanently this summer.

Right now I'm just praying to get over the flu. That's right I'm sick again.
