Happy New Year!!!
This is a time of year where many make New Year resolutions. There will be those who will commit to lose weight and never seem to get it done. There will be others who will make other commitments and somehow they lose focus in mid-stream. Please let me take this time to challenge you to continue with your commitment that you made to the Lord concerning missions in Far East Russia. Many of you committed to pray for us daily and many committed to pray for us regularly. Thank you so much for being a part of the Lord’s work in Far East Russia. Please continue to pray for us during 2008. God has so many great and awesome things that He wants to do in Far East Russia. Please pray that the Roberts’ family will be in the center of God’s will and will see all people with the eyes of Christ. Pray that many will come to know Christ as their personal Lord and Savior during 2008.
New Year is when “Father Frost” visits all the Russian Children. They do not celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior. We had a wonderful Christmas service celebrating the birth of Jesus. One lady accepted Christ. Praise God for salvation through Jesus Christ. Please pray that many others will hear and understand. The Apostle Paul made a great statement in Romans. Allow this verse to be on your heart when you pray for us this year. {Romans 15:20-21 (HCSB) so my aim is to evangelize where Christ has not been named, in order that I will not be building on someone else’s foundations, but , as it is written: Those who had no report of Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.}
Our children are enjoying the snow. They go sledding at least once a week. There is a great hill just across the road from our apartment. They have met some friends there and the Putnam’s usually meet there for a couple of hours on Saturday afternoon. Lee has met some friends in our building. Emma has made some friends at school. Emma had a Christmas party at school this week. They all dress up in costumes, much like kids do in the states for Halloween but without the scary stuff. The ski slope has opened and Lee is looking forward to going snowboarding soon.
A special thanks to all who sent us cards, letters and boxes from the states. The kids really enjoy getting stuff from home…………well, maybe mom and dad also. If you have sent us something and we have not contacted you to say thanks…………please remember that it takes six weeks for stuff to get here from the states and we will let you know when we get your card, letter, or package.
