Thursday Morning Update from Pokrov


The past few days have seen some interesting relationships develop. We've had a lot of fun, provided meaningful lessons, and met some great kids.

Ilya has been at the orphanage for less than a month. What a friendly young boy. Don had a good conversation with him and was sad to see Ilya leave this morning for camp.

Kate developed a relationship with Misha. He left for camp this morning also.

I've been able to talk with Klara and Galya a little about where they are going next year.

One highlight is that we were able to participate in the graduation ceremony for those leaving the orphanage. There were representatives there from a major telecommunications company in Moscow. We presented each gradute with a duffle bag to use when they leave the orphanage in the fall.

We've played frisbee, marbles, soccer and a number of Russian games.

Our lessons have stimulated a number of conversations about God and what it means to know Him. We are excited to see what will happen today and tomorrow.

Continue to pray for us. Today we'll visit the lake for a picnic after our lesson.
