We are safely in Tyumen, Russia and have spent our first full day here. We arrived very early this morning, and were greeted at the airport by Pastor Katya and Alexander F. who helped us load our luggage and drove us to Katya and Rouslan’s home. He had breakfast, took naps, and them began organizing our visit. Rouslan took Bob and Bert to check out the apartment they will rent, and completed those arrangements. I stayed with Katya and we sorted and organized gifts. We all met back together and discussed the schedule for the week, then ate lunch prepared by our friend Sveta F. Later in the evening some of the church members came to offer prayer for family members and friends with substance dependencies. This small group meets every week. It was good to see Nina, Galina, and Anton and Katya P. with their little boy David. I have added pictures and a video of the apt. that Bert and Bob are staying in.
Loved the tour!
