We have a new placement!!! Pull out your maps and see how long it takes you to find Saratov... OK - I'll give you a few hints. Our new home of Saratov is on the Volga River, south of Moscow and almost on the border with Kazakhstan. We just learned of this placement late last week. (It was either Saratov or Novosibirsk). We are feeling thankful...Novosibirsk is in Siberia!
Of course this new placement means home-schooling... Am I ready for that? We also are unsure of our leave date...this makes buying plane tickets tricky. We are hoping that our host institution has started the process to get our letter of invitation which we need for our visa's but as we are quickly learning, time seems to move in a different way in Russia. Despite all the new issues to tackle we are grateful for a chance to explore a new culture and are excited to get on the road!
Keep us in your prayers as we try to figure out our home-schooling options, buy plane tickets, apply for a visa and try to wrap up all the little things that we need to take care of!
Life is always interesting...in the midst of all the chaos our phone has gone down YET AGAIN! I love AT&T!
For those of you who read this and are in Lancaster... We will be heading home for Christmas on Dec. 23 and staying for a few days past Christmas. We are coming back to OH to pack and clean and then will be returning to PA around Jan 9. We will have some time to hang out in PA before we head off, hopefully in mid to late January!
