After lunch at Vova's this morning we showed Carmen, his wife, pictures of our church. She was especially excited about the children's area and wants to draw pictures on the wall like we have. It's wonderful seeing the enthusiasm in this young couple.

After the second church service, Vasily and his wife Alla took us for a picnic in the forest. They grilled steak, veal and chicken. Everything was delicious. We were in an area across the street from the former grounds keepers home next to Nikita Kruscheve's former summer compound. It was quite interesting.

Keep the comments coming. We love hearing from everyone.
