Updates on Russian politics and our departure

I don't usually just add posts from other sources - but this is just an update on the political situation in Russia. Please be praying. Amy & I are going to be in Russia on a educational visas - so this shouldn't directly affect us. Thank you for your prayers.

Amy & I are both amazed and how quickly time has flown. We're leaving on Friday for 2 weeks in Colorado Springs working with Mission Training International at their language acquisition module called PILAT. We'll be helping to teach - you'll hear from us on the blog I'm sure - and we're excited about that time. Please pray for Amy especially during this time as she's missing 2 weeks of class and scanning & emailing her homework to her professor. She'll be returning just in time for the last 2 days of class and her exams. (Did I mention that Amy had to speak with her professor for 20 minutes on Monday for her Oral Exam? She received Advanced marks for her grade! I'm bursting with pride at how well she's done - God gave her the talent, and she's working hard --- it's so nice that it's paying off!)

I have only 1.5 months of work left at UM, prior to our final month in the States. In June we'll be wrapping up affairs with the house (please pray for renters or buyers) and then we'll be visiting family/friends for goodbyes. We'll also be in D.C. for the General Assembly meeting where Amy will have her final interview with World Outreach.

It's amazing to think that heading to Russia in June will provide us a small breather!
