Tea is an art form

Tea is a form of art. In many cultures it is a way to gather the family together and take time to fellowship with one another. I love tea. Any tea is ok with me. Black, Berry, Green, Grey, Breakfast you name it I�ll drink it. We had brunch a bit ago with Mama Olya, Lori and Oksana. It was lovely. And we enjoyed tea after as a time to talk and learn about each other. We have enjoyed showing pictures to each other of our family and family to be and it is precious to watch the blending of the two cultures within the love of Christ who is our common bond. We are thankful.

Mama Olya is taking care of a very sick little girl right now. Please add her to your prayers. She has something wrong with her kidneys and she has been really having a rough time. For the last four months Olya has taken care of her a lot more as Yulia�s Mom has been in Austria for Cancer treatments. She is in remission now, but now Yulia is ill. She looks like a gerber baby you guys. So cute!

Today is a low key day. Cold outside and not very inviting, so we are going to do some wash, drink more tea and watch a movie together. It is not all that exciting but it is good to have time to be with these friends and to learn more about their lives.

We love you all. Thank you for your comments we look forward to hearing from each of you. & we are game to hear any advice from those who have gone before as well! :)

How are you guys all doing by the way?

Thank you for your prayers. We feel them. Peace is the order of the day and we are so thankful for that joy!
