Update from Nancy Durrett leading a SAC Team in Russia as of April 3, 2007

Had a great morning at Hospital #15. Two older boys are really rough with the smaller kids, so we had to separate to play games. They are street kids and were a little hard to handle. But the children enjoyed the activities. The doctor said no to the peanut butter caterpillars (a Bible Study activity talking about conversion into a new creature). We will check with her before doing pretzels tomorrow (Butterfly pretzels, another Bible Study activity as we talk about conversion).

Great group at CID (Child in Danger shelter). The doctor okayed both activities there, and they loved both. Masha (Nadezhda, the director of Child in Danger's, daughter, ) did not like the pretzels - too salty. She will be going with us to go bowling tomorrow night. She has never been and is so excited! She had been with us both afternoons, and she is such a joy to be with. She can have fun, but be firm with the children also. She's a great teacher example.

John Bull led the devotion at Hosp. 15 this morning and led games at CID. Susan Furr led the devotion at CID. Of course the kids are loving the songs with Lucya (Transition Hoome asst. Director). We will do Hosp. 15 tomorrow - Susan Furr will meet Olga (translator) tomorrow afternoon to take girls from Orphanage #14 shopping - and bowling tomorrow night. Also, Katya (from Lucya's Family Home) and Natasha (from Bull's family home - where Nelly is) will be baptized Wednesday night. Cecil (former house parents) will do the service. We will
leave bowling in time to go there for that. Masha (from CID) said she will take the kids back to CID so we can go to the baptism. We are excited to get to attend - it's so hard to do everything for everyone, but God has provided a way.

Keep us in your prayers.
Nancy

PS: oh- Sergey (John's son) called today and will be with us at CID on
Friday and will come to the Frunzenskaya Family Home apartment on Friday night to meet you. I was excited to hear from him.
