Слава Богу!

Praise God! We have arrived safely in Russia. There were several times (SEVERAL TIMES) during our travel when God demonstrated His great care for us. One such instance is when had been waiting in a line in the Moscow airport for over a half an hour. We had yet another hour or so of waiting in this line still to come (with only a 3 hour layover). For some reason (God knows) someone came to the group of mostly Russian speakers and said IN ENGLISH, "Is anyone transferring Domestic?" Then we found out that we were in the wrong line. From there we moved into another line. We made it to the our gate with enough time to catch our breath and get onto the plane. The planes even had bassinets for the girls to sleep in!

Several Russian people were extremely helpful and hospitable with the girls. Our stay in Khabarovsk was a great blessing. We met a wonderful family and were also able to sleep enough not to be delusional. Now we are safe in Blagoveshchensk! Praise God. Jason was able to fellowship at a church this morning (Sunday) with Ted, Luke and Steve. Thank you for your prayers! Please pray that God will give us patience and enable us all to learn the language well.
