"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."- St. Peter. "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." - Jesus.

A new Aussie family to be friends with

(L-R: Janene, Brett, Amalia, Clayton. The other two kids Eli and Layna are not in the photo.)

We have been blessed to help a new family settle into Krasnoyarsk this past month. They arrived on Thursday September 5th. They have been extremely brave as they have settled in. There has been lots to do, like finding an apartment, getting Brett connected into the Uni, getting phone and internet connected and lots more.

We have enjoyed having them around heaps. We are particularly inspired by their gracious attitude towards everything. They haven't complained about anything as things have gone along. In fact they have always looked for God's hand in the midst of everything. What a great encouragement and witness to me.

They will only be around for one year before they head east to Sakhalin Island to work with orphans there. I am sure it will be a fun year though.
