NINA UPDATE
It has now been 10
days since Nina was admitted into the hospital with heart attack-like symptoms.
Since May 12 little progress has been made in her diagnosis and recovery. Nina
continues to be on a strict regimen of rest and medication. It was only three
days ago that she was finally allowed to get out of bed to walk to the dining
hall. The doctors continue to run tests and try various medications to try and
get her blood pressure down. They seem quite puzzled by her symptoms, which
don’t quite match their test results! As we wait for Nina’s return Lena
continues to make the long journey to the hospital every other day. We are
thankful that Nina is in good spirits and that I am able to take some time off
from work during this time (to stay with the girls during Lena’s absence).
Thank you for remembering our family in your prayers.
– Kevin, Lena, Sonia, Maya & Deena
COMING TO CANADA
Now that Canada seems a lot further away than it did a month ago, it’s a
little harder to get excited about planning! The other day Maya exclaimed, "I’m
tired of waiting! Tomorrow I’m going to Canada!". Please remember our need for a
home come late autumn!
BLESSINGS
The last time Nina was in the hospital, this
happened… We are very thankful that Nina’s home has been kept safe from
intruders or other problems thus far.
PETITIONS
Please continue to pray for Nina in
the hospital. Pray that her health will be restored so that she can return home.
Also remember to pray for Lena as she makes the long treks to bring Nina food
and supplies.
Be in prayer for the Christian Camp
Leaders’ Conference to be held in Vladivostok (May 25-31). This is major event
for the camps and churches in the Far East of Russia. For too long we have been
unable (for financial reasons, mostly) to conduct a training event in this, the
neediest of regions in Russia. Please pray for the final organizational details,
and especially pray for the safe travel of the participants and instructors
across this vast territory.
Sonia completed her first exam
(English—her easiest test!) this past Saturday. Please keep praying for her as
she prepares for the next four exams.
DID YOU KNOW…
…that the least expensive
(non-bulk) toilet paper you can buy in Russia is simply called "54 Metres"?
While you can guess how long it is, did you know the price per roll is around 3
rubles (about 15 cents)?
…that the best bargain in "made
in Russia" commodities is wood matches? A package of eight
boxes goes for a mere 4 rubles!!!
