We celebrate Christmas from the 25th of December to the 7th of January and we spent Christmas in the orphanage with the children. We rented an 85 feet long bounce house, the kids were delighted when it was time to play. We performed a skit and gave the kids bibles and other presents. Sixty kids and twenty volunteers heard the good news of Jesus!
I also want to say hello from Rita, Eugene and their baby Alex feels well, and they are waiting for the test results, the last analysis showed that the tumor had disappeared. This looks like a Christmas present from God to their small family! They are still under the supervision of the doctors and are in need of our help.
Sadly, on January 10th Misha went to eternity. I wrote a lot about him, we were helping him for a whole year. During that time there was a bond of friendship that grew between us and with his mother Lena. It makes me happy to think that shortly before his departure he told me that he believed strongly that Jesus is his Lord and Savior. I still continue to communicate with Lena. We helped her with the funeral and continue to participate in her life. God permits different circumstances in our lives, but looking back, I am convinced that we have not lived in vain. Thank you for your prayers and support. Thank God for your help!
