"If you go outside you'll die" our oldest answered as he described the weather in Ulan Ude. Obviously we haven't died from living in Siberia, quite the contrary. We continue to be overwhelmed by God's great blessings to our family, the greatest of all is that He would use us in the growth of His church here in Buryatia. Gardner continues to help with the Salvation Church plant, where he partners in leadership with a Russian pastor. We received great fulfillment from being able to witness to classmates (kids in national school) and help disciple believers in the church. We would love to see this national church plant healthy, thriving and reaching the community in which they are located.
