Well updating the blog has been quite the challenge. The first internet cafe I went to would not let me reply to emails or log into the blog. Just part of the fun! 22 of us plus our friends here are in Kokshetau, spread out in 5 apartments (PTL and thank K man as he set up all of these. He is an amazing friend). It is a very unique team of personalities. Daniel and Jay compliment each other well and have been doing welll as leaders. The team is out advertising and getting amazing results. We have two young people from our friend K's study group that will be taking lessons along with a Russian study group leader as well. They will followup with our students after we are gone. The two from K's group will invite them to K's house if they are interested in talking about important matters. It is amazing what the H. S. is doing here.

K has stated a need for literature in Russian to help alcoholics. This is a huge need for those he is serving.
We have many friends from last year coming again including Donna and Nurbeck. It promises to be very exciting. The weather could not be more different. We are in the 60's with occassional rain. We haven't killed more than two or three mosquitos. Thanks for remembering us continually. More updates soon (internet cafe permitting)
Good job Sandra Y on the surprise!!
