Quick Trip to Udmurtia

(Katya - Rachel - Sara Beth - Sveta)
Rachel and I just got back from a quick trip to Udmurtia.
There was a volunteer team coming through to Udmurtia from Arkansas - there was a need for some introductions - some need for videos and pictures and interviews - and some meetings - so we took the team and headed out.
We were able to visit some old friends (both from Udmurtia and with the team) and we were able to make some new ones.
We had some great - very productive meetings with Sasha, Valodia, Kostia, Jack and myself. God is as work and it is so exciting to sit down with these guys and hammer out concrete ways to be a part of that.
Rachel went to Udmurtia for the first time with me and just loved it. She, and Sara Beth (another IMB MK) helped with an English club out in one of the villages. They met two Russia/Udmurt teenagers and talked - in English and in Russian. They invited the girls to church the next day and both the girls came (for the first time ever!). After church the girls went to one of the church members home and went online and looked at their facebook pages.
Please pray for Sveta and Katya - that the contact/testimony of our 2 MKs will stick with them. Pray that they will come back to church and be drawn to the Father.
S'Bogum for now
