Team 2 arrived safely home in Maple Rapids around 5:30 a.m. Tuesday morning after landing in Chicago about 11 p.m. Michigan time. Connections were tight in New York after the Aeroflot flight from Moscow touched down at JFK late. It is a praise that our flight to Chicago was delayed almost two hours which allowed us enough time to claim our baggage, go through customs and check-in for our connecting flight. We even had enough time to grab something to eat before we boarded.
We stayed in Krasnyarsk on Saturday night and caught our flight to Moscow at 7 a.m. Sunday morning. We were met in Moscow by Pavel and a bus that took all 17 of us around the city for a quick site-seeing tour. It was an amazing thing to stand in the middle of the historic Red Square and remember the Cold War years. Many of the older members of our team remarked, "who would've ever dreamed we would be standing in Red Square after helping to build a church in Russia!" God is amazing. It is also strange to see so much capitalism surrounding Red Square. There is even a multi-level, underground mall just outside the Square that would rival many malls in America.
We pray for Team 3 as they continue the work on the church, hopefully getting it enclosed while they are there. We hope to be able to update you on their progress if communication continues with them. Thanks for all your prayers and support during our time in Lesosibirsk, Siberia. You played a key role in helping us accomplish great things.
