Conference Day 5: The Triumphant Return


            So today was a pretty standard day of the conference in terms of schedule; however all of the activities were overshadowed by the return of Matt and Rachael from the hospital. With Tyler and Yury returning as well, the whole family was reunited and it felt so good. I am hoping that Rachael will write something about her experiences in the hospital, so keep an eye out for it.
            With this return, the FOCUS team was given permission to take the evening off to regroup. We feasted!! Tyler brought in some food and drink and we all shared our experiences from the past few days. Matt and Rachael had some interesting hospital stories and Tyler shared his adventures around the city. I couldn’t stop smiling seeing Rachael and Matt back with us and healthy and hearing how much they grew and learned spiritually during their time of sickness.
            Father Myron visited from Vladivostok today as well to give a talk, say mass, and also give a lecture on proper dental hygiene. I know this is an important topic in Russia, but I didn’t think this would really help me much; surprisingly, Father Myron taught all of us—Americans included—a great deal about dental hygiene and how to properly care for our teeth.
