New Surroundings

Hi Friends!

Here are a few pictures of what it looks like around our apartment building.  We have spent the last couple days unpacking and organizing our new home, so we have not had a chance to venture out too much.  There will be more pictures of the city in the weeks to come.  We are so thankful for your thoughts as we continue to get adjusted here in the far north!

Our Final Destination

Hi Friends,

We arrived here in Siberia yesterday morning after a solid 24 hours of traveling.  We left Kiev at 4:45 Tuesday morning, spent most of the day in the airport in Moscow, then took a 6.5 hour flight to the edge of Siberia. Our bodies are worn down and our minds are spinning with too much new information, but we are so thankful to be here! Pictures to come…

Thanks for checking out our blog!

Our last outing

The last outing we took, we went to go see another beautiful church and along the way we saw some other interesting buildings and monuments.

Please be thinking of us as we leave Kiev soon and make our journey out to Siberia.  Our next post will be coming to you from the ends of the earth.
