There are about 7 different villages in the Odessa area where our team ministers. It is a bit hard to visit some of the in the winter because of road conditions. Thankfully, this time of year it is much more pleasant to travel and we don’t have to worry about snow or mud. Yesterday I took the whole family out to the village of Makarovo. We want to catch up with Pastor Volodya and to encourage their church. I was able to preach and Christina also read a letter from Discovery Baptist, their sister church.
It’s always a challenged to get out the door 2 hours earlier than normal on Sunday morning, but the kids did a great job!
We were glad to see that Natasha was teaching Sunday School.
Mishael working on a craft with a couple other boys.

The weather was great for fellowship after the service on the veranda.

Everyone enjoyed the bunnies.
Anastasia was a little worried about holding this one.
