On Sunday morning the Pauls made it safely back from their visa trip to South Korea. Everything went well for them - God is so good! We are all trying to adjust to living in the same 2 room apartment, sharing food, etc. Please pray that our fellowship would be sweet and our speech would always be edifying to one another.

Last weekend Jason was able to have tea (the Russian equivalent to 'hanging out') with a guy he met at the English club the other week. A few days later he was able to meet some of the guy's friends. They were all third year English students at the university here. Please pray that the Lord will bless these relationship.

Last night, just before we fell asleep, we were startled by Tara, the Paul's 12 year old daughter, walking into our room. "Tara," asked Rachel, "is that you?"

"Yes," said Tara, and sat on the edge of the bed.

"What do you want?"

"Nothing.... Hmm, okay." And with that she crawled onto the bed and lay down next to Rachel!

We were not sure as to whether we should wake her up or not, and we were laughing so hard we couldn't say anything right away. After a few minutes of her lying there, Rachel shook Tara's shoulder gently and said, "Tara, you should go back to the other room." Tara got up and went back to her bed.

It was unclear to us if we had actually woken her up, but this morning when we went to tell Sharon she said, "Tara already told me. She came to me this morning and said, 'Mom, last night I woke up and I was in Jason and Rachel's bed!'"

That's funny. Growing up, we had a few sleep walkers at our house too...always provided some amusement (after you're no longer startled by their presence!)
