Thanks to Michael Thomas for these pictures and captions... our camera went with Josh to Russia and was still somewhere in his luggage!
Following their recent trip to Russia, Josh & Matthew come back laden with gifts, chocolate & stories of God's work in that tired land.
A captive audience (amazing how a couple pieces of chocolate can boost audience attentiveness)
Matthew unlocks my passion. One of the few "junk food" things I'll eat. BUT, if it's any less then 75% cocoa ... it's TOO sweet.
A blessed birch broach (ok, ok a necklace to be sure, but since necklace starts with N, I'd 'ave had to of said something like a Nifty Nerdy Necklace and that just isn't working for me)
"You should put this on your dresser so that you don't lose it" - Wisdom from a 4 year old
Artistic attentiveness
A duly blotted entry
Fantastic Footage for the Fanatic (after 3 hours, I ceased to be a fanatic) - In all seriousness, their trip blessed them as much or more then those they went to bless. They were challenged. I think the biggest challenge they all faced was, as good and necessary as this trip was, what needs are HERE?
Are we missing the opportunity's at the tip of our own noses.

Wonderful pictures! I esp. appreciated your last comment. I have often mused on how often we (collectively speaking) rush off to help in other countries, but what about our own?
