Ella, Ike and I met a friend and her kids at the playground recently while Anneka was at school. My friend was carrying a bag, and I didn't think much of it. After awhile, she motioned to the kids to come over. She opened up her bag and this little piglet was inside!! What delight! We all loved him, of course. He and his sister were runts out of a big litter and weren't getting enough milk, so my friend brought the two of them back to the city to bottle feed them at home. They live in the kitchen of her apartment!
We are excited to go to their village in a couple of weeks and see their piglets and calves. We praise God for how He's formed friendships with this family, and pray that He'll show them His great love through us.
Leif has been traveling a lot this spring. I saw this picture on our teammate's blog and thought it was so funny. Leif's in the blue sleeping bag in the front. (he doesn't get much sleep at these things, but thankfully he's used to that with having three small kids!) He went to Shabur for a meeting with regional pastors and leaders and enjoyed his time talking with different guys. He's encouraged about the excitement that several pastors are having about holding a missions course here in Ulan Ude. Leif has been working to get it up and started, and imagine his joy when this group decided that this would be an emphasis in the churches this upcoming year! We desire to see people from here raised up to share the gospel all over the world!
Our last weeks have been very busy, and I find it so hard to keep up with blogs. I feel very grateful for the ways God has cared for our family as Leif has been gone. The kids and I have met a few new families in our neighborhood and have enjoyed playing and talking with them.
