We Got It!

Yesterday, we finally got our long term registration and visa extension.
What does that mean?
It means we can stay in the country until at least April 14, 2009.
It means we can travel inside the country, outside of Moscow.
It means we can leave the country and return to Moscow without any problems.

Thanks for praying with us about this.
Because we now have this status, I can now join the 2nd Udmurt Vol. Team trip this next week.
As a matter of fact, Rachel is going to join the trip also. We cannot stay the whole time, because of school and other things. But we are excited to get to ride the train with the team, to be back in Udmurtia for a couple of days, and to help minister face to face with the Udmurts.
We are looking forward to being with Pastor Mark, Kevin and Katie from our home church New Hope, and the other team members as well - Mo (as in Maurice), Cathy, Jon and Bill.
We bought our train tickets yesterday and will be in the same wagon.

S'Bogum for now
