Hi dear all!
Thanks for wondering how I am. I have been pretty busy since I left CCBCE in the end of June. I spent 2 days in Kiev with hospitable Oksana's family on the way to Moscow. In Moscow I only had less than a week to pack up my things and move them to one part of Moscow giving them away or throwing them away in the process. It is so easy to get rid of things! especially if you can bless someone with it!
The Lord showed His absolute care for me during those days in Moscow: I had a place to stay and someone even picked me up at the railway station with my 2 heavy suitcases.After visitng my favourite church (CC Sokol see the link> http://ccsokol.blogspot.com)
I had to leave for Karelia to do a children's day camp, which has been taking place there every summer for the past 6 years ( I joined them only last year) It's a great opportunity to minister to about 400 kids every summer. A helper from the States and I were leading 8 year olds. It was one of the biggest teams - about 40 kids but God blessed us with another 2 helpers and gave strength to my voice for I had to speak in a vE-Ery loud voice at times.
Now I am back in my hometown Novosibirsk ( in Siberia) where I was not born but grew up. I am enjoyng fellowship with my relatives and my mom's food:) I am also taking part in a children's day camp that OM missionary team is doing in Novosibirsk and I am so greatful to God for giving me this temporary ministry.

When I was leaving Bible College a month ago I was nervous. I had no idea where I was going and what was ahead of me. I still don't know for sure where God wants me to serve and what his plans are but I know the plans He has for me are for good and not for evil (Jeremiah 29:11).
So may the Lord fill you with the same confidence in Him and His good plans for you!
