It's Almost Time Again

The days are beginning to fly by and we need to get our things in order. Passports in place but that's about all. We are working on our visas, packing our bags (hope we don't forget anything) and wearing boots. Mine are new this year but I was told... no need to break them in.. we shall see!!

March Update

March 27 and the temps in Krasnaya Niva are beginning to warm up, +1 and +2 C (34 & 36F) . It's been a cold and snowy winter there.

After 10 years I have had to get a new passport! That means my passport is nice and shiny, no stamps or extra pages. It's always weird to start over with a new one.

As far as we know, the Petersen family will once again run the Boot Camp and check in on the BMW. The Bible School has had many hardships this winter, mainly from the cold weather.


There has not been a good source of heat for them. A wood burning furnace was installed but it just could not get hot enough to heat the building. Please pray for them and for us as we seek to find better means of heat. Their water froze and students have been sick. We need to find blankets and winter clothing for them as well.
