All Updated!!

GREAT NEWS!! The blog is finally all up to date on everything that has been going on here. Sorry we haven't been able to post and the stuff I have been writing lacks some detail. The Conference kept us quite busy!

            So today was uneventful as we took a very long bus ride back to Vladivostok. Staggering back into the monastery here was like walking into our own homes after a long work trip or even stepping into paradise after a week at the rustic summer camp.

            Unfortunately this home coming is short lived. Tonight is our last night in Vladivostok. We leave here at 6 in the morning to catch our 8 am flight to Moscow (9 hours from now). Nevertheless, we had a good night.

            Supper was wonderful! Being able to eat spaghetti to our heart’s content was a major treat after limited food for a week. We had a great meal with the brothers and a few of the Russians from the camp. Yury and Victor also joined us and said their goodbyes. We were all laughing it up and trying to get joy out of every second.

            It is sad now that we have to leave. It feels like our whole trip hasn’t even set into my brain yet and now we are departing. Tomorrow morning will be a jam packed schedule trying to get to the airport in time, so there may not be much time for goodbyes. I can’t believe our work here is coming to a close.
