SiberiaDay1-Site1.jpgWe arrived safely Monday morning after leaving JFK airport on Saturday evening greeted by -12F degree weather in Krasnoyarsk. After arriving at the hotel, we had 1 1/2 hours sleep and spent the afternoon making close to 1000 carepacks in various configurations. After dinner we met our translators. We were happy to get our translator from the summer Irina again. We had two of the summer translators and 4 new ones. After a long and well deserved night’s sleep we headed to our first site in Divnogorsk, about 1 hour from Krasnoyarsk. Sunrise is at about 9:30 and it’s dark by 4:00 every day. The first site we went to was a repeat site from the summer. There we were reunited with 3 teenage girls that we visited in the summer. One of those was Dasha who shared her life story with us this past summer. The SiberiaDay2-Site2.jpggirls were excited and amazed to see us again, especially in the dead of winter. The second site (also in Divnogorsk ) which we never visited before, had orphan kids of all ages. We had younger boys and girls in our group. They gave us so many hugs and kisses that I lost count. A wonderful start to our two week adventure of sharing love, hope, gifts and the good news of Jesus Christ! Keep us in your prayers as our time here continues.
