Churches in Russia celebrate Thanksgiving just like we do, only they do it in September or October and call it "Zhadva" or "Harvest".
Oddly enough, all the children in our church are Americans, but they were troopers and sang a song in Russian.
Madi even sang a solo... in Russian! She did such a great job. I wish you all could have been there.
The next week our church celebrated its 5th anniversary.
The kids really enjoyed the food.
I don't know what I was saying, but as you can see, everyone was very interested!
This is a Russian family sent from our church to live in Dagastan and help with a new church there. Dagastan is located just above Chechnya and is predominately Muslim. Life there is very hard for Russian christians. As Americans, we cannot live there and can hardly even visit. They are a very precious family.
