We're tired, but happy...

Well, our busy, busy week is finally done, and I think it was a pretty big success. The soccer banquet was great (see S.B.'s pic above with her friend, Nadia), and we received a package on Thursday from FBC Allen, Texas (John and Han are enjoying the goodies above). Thursday also was a great meeting of English Club, one in which we got to talk about what we were thankful for and to whom we were thankful. Friday and Saturday were totally consumed by Bella Notte, but I am pretty sure it can only be called a huge success, so it was time well-spent. Even better, we are all home before 11 p.m. and heading to bed. It's a miracle!! 

Please pray this week for Marc and his partner, Tim Wicker, as they leave on Wednesday evening for a week in the Chuvash Republic. The Chuvash people group is at the top of the list of unreached people groups in European Russia, and we have become very close to Sergei, who has been a faithful member of our English Club since the first meeting, and who happens to be Chuvash. So, Sergei is meeting Marc and Tim on Saturday morning in the Chuvash Republic. He will take them around, introduce them to people, and help them find different things. We are also praying that this is a time to continue with Sergei the spiritual discussions in which he has been very interested. We do not believe it is a coincidence that Sergei, who spends time with us nearly every week, is Chuvash. Please pray that important moves forward can be taken with Sergei this week.

We are also preparing for our Thanksgiving celebration with English Club. We are praying that this will be an important time with them, and that spiritual things will naturally be a part of our discussion. Please pray that God guides us as we prepare for this major event in our lives, and hopefully, in theirs.

Well, we love you guys, but I am really, really tired and need to go to bed. Everyone in the house is winding down and heading off to some much-needed sleep, and I definitely want to join them!!! Thank you for the prayers I know were lifted up for us this week, for your faithfulness, encouragement, and love. We couldn't be here without you!

Blessings,

Kellye (for all)
