Another week is coming to a close! This was a very crazy week, but still a good one. Last week, I had the privilege to go to the women’s conference in Moscow. It was a lot of traveling but a great time! The Word was taught and that is always refreshing and the best place to be! The theme was “Blessed” and we went through Psalm 1. I was also blessed in a workshop about children. The theme was joy in our parenting! She reminded us that if we do not have joy when we parent and when we work in our homes then why would our kids follow Christ that we proclaim is our strength through His Joy? It was a great reminder and refresher course! I met Jason in Vladimir on Sunday afternoon. We had the great opportunity to fellowship with our friends Pasha and Lena Baronov. We slept at their house and on Sunday after he taught in Vladimir and on Monday we were able to go and visit Natasha’s parents (Natasha who is in America right now training with FRM). They served us a great lunch and we had a sweet time of fellowship.
Then we came back to Kolchugino Monday afternoon and were hit with the flu. Jonathan, Mickey and Jason have been in bed with high temperatures, up to 105. Jason pulled himself out of bed to teach last night’s service and he is half up today working for his Sunday services. I have not been hit with it completely yet, but my throat is sore and a cough is surfacing!
On a good note, Jonathan has not had any reactions here yet. We have been watching his diet and I have been creative in preparing food. Mickey and I learned how to bake bread from scratch and we found rye flour! So we are adjusting back into the life here. It is so interesting to me how even the mindset of the children changes when we walked through the door here. They griped about soup in California but love it here, they did not want to read a lot there but here we have made it through three chapter books this week and finished school on Thursday not Friday. Thank you Jesus for even calming the hearts of the children as we step out in faith into what we believe is your plan. We pray you enjoyed the newsletter last week and we hope that you are blessed in your walk with Jesus!
With love,
Britny and family
