One More Day Down


Not much to report. We went to the full 2 hour church service today. The music is very good and I enjoy that alot. I wish we could understand some of the preaching here but we do not. It is still exciting to see the enthusiam of the people that are able to understand what is being said. If it was English being spoken instead of Russian, it could easily be a church somewhere in the midwest of the USA.
Here is a picture of Stacey with Sveta and Victor outside of some important looking building. On Saturday when we rode past, there were no less than 5 wedding parties out there getting pictures taken. They are standing beside a large cannon. We have no idea of the significance of the monument. Victor, who is very funny by the way, said that perhaps the cannon did not work so they left it there. We really enjoy his and Sveta's humor.
We have tickets for the Moscow circus on Saturday. That should be interesting.

Coy is such a handsome young man! Congratulations you guys! We have been fervently praying for your adventure and can't wait to see what God had in store for Coy's life. The Young CBS Class at Community Bible Study has a few special encouraging words for each of you:

Caleb says: "I miss you mom and dad and love you VERY much!"

Nathan says: "I hope you have great flights!"

Mary says: "God bless you! I hope your baby is safe on the way home!"

Kelsi says: "God loves you and I bet he wants to keep you safe. I'm sure you picked out the right baby!"

Amber says: "God cares about you!"

Elizabeth says: "Have a safe trip home."

Samantha says: "God will take good care of you!"

Eli says: "God loves you! He is watching over you forever!"

Joshua says: "I hope you have a Bible to teach Coy about God."

* Emilie wasn't there on Thursday, but she'll send a message next week.

Ms. Jenny says: "Congratulations on your new baby boy. I can't wait to see him with your family. Praying that God continues to bless you and brings you back soon."

And last but not least, Ms. Shawn wrote a special poem to add a little humor to your journey:
*********************************
When you're really, really bored, and there's nothing to do...

Just sit right down and take off your shoes....

Pull those socks off, now don't you fall.....

Roll them up real tight and form a nice little ball....

"Look out David!" Stacey's starting to grin....

Even in a game like "sock volleyball", your competitive wife wants to win!!!!! :)
***********************************

Enjoy this time together. It is a chance of a lifetime. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love and Blessings,

shawn neal
(and the Young CBS class)
