Wonderful moments......

Several days ago we said goodbye to our dear friends from Texas. Six wonderful people who are passionate to serve God and come to Russia and give all the best to people of Chuvashia. How wonderful it is how God joins people together and makes us and them to be One! Our Church enjoyed them and welcomed them very warm-heartedly. Although the weather was cold, it didn't stop their work here in Chebocksary.

Saturday (Day of arrival)
After leaving bags and having a little rest in the Hotel we all went to the Chavash restaurant where they served different kind of Chuvash food. We liked that, although most of it was meat. Later on the schedule was to visit Mega Moll and next day to visit our Church.

Sunday (Momentous event for two Churches)

 That day we entered into a covenant between the Church from Allen and our Church. It means that we will work together for many long years and help each other in mutual God's work to glorify His Name. All we want to see is how God will change and and expand His Church, create new and be exalted in them. All our trust in Him!!!
Later at the same day we had a meeting with our leadership from the Church and had long conversations on different topics. It was exciting!:)


Monday (Celebration Day)

 Our friends have decided to cook a very delicious chicken salad that we liked very much. Our brothers and sisters brought also many tasty things from homes and together and was a real feast! We sang, talked, laughed, made pictures and just enjoyed the time together. our friends sang some English songs for us.

At the end we handed to our friends presents, so they will also remember that day and the Covenant.:) It was a wonderful and happy time together!!!


Tuesday (Day of departure)

Such a sad day! Of course we didn't want to go them so soon, but everything has it's time. That day we walked in the center of the city, visited two museums, took some pictures outside and went to Mc.Donalds. The time runs vey fast and it is so hard to say "Good bye" But we knew that they will come many many times in future, but the most important thing that we became "One" and dear friends with each other knowing that this friendship, this unity will last forever. We love our friends and waiting them back. We would love you also join us in prayer and see how God will make miraculous things in our lives!!!! Stay with us!:))) God bless you richly!!!!!

Back home....

         A MISSIONARY NIGHT IN MY CHURCH!

 

When I came back to my town, the only thought I had in my mind: “I am back at my sweet home!”:)
My roommates didn't know that I will come that very time in the morning at 6 o'clock. It was so unexpected to them, they were so shocked to see me! But it was my plan to surprise them!!! It worked out!:)) My cat didn't recognize me at all, it run away from me and hided under the bed. Later she started to smell my bags and taking out all my staff. It is how she welcomed me!:) Then when I was sleeping she came to me and started to smell and purr. She recognized me at last!:)))

I was so happy when my brothers and sisters were so happy to see me in the Church. They started to ask a lot of questions. I decided to organize a Missionary Night to tell them all about my adventures! I was glad to see how much they were waiting for that day! God is really is so amazing!

The Missionary Night went so well, that my heart was rejoicing to tell them everything that God has done through the school and us as a team. I shared about traditions, food, culture aspects, miracles that God has done and also we were drinking Mongolian tea (green tea with salt, milk and butter).
 We are all enjoyed that time! Now I was invited to another Church too to share with them too. Pray for this too, that I will just tell the information but encourage them and so they may glorify God!:)))

What else? Yes, good news!!! At the end of April comes a team from Texas. The same team that came to Chebocksary last year. Our Church is very happy about it and looking forward to it. The main goal is to help our Church, to work out future plans and encourage us!:) Our Pastor Sasha and me will go back to America with them. It will be exciting. Especially for me, because it was my dream to go there. But the problem is that it is very hot in Texas and I don't like hot weather. Anyway we will find out the way….
After few days I will go to Moscow for interview to get a visa. Please pray that everything will be good and I will be safe there!
The weather here is so nice and sunny! You will enjoy if you will come to my town!:))) You are always welcome to visit me!
Ok, I think it is all for now. I will be glad if you will leave any comments or questions.
God bless you!!! Keep always in touch with Him!!!:))))
