Off to Russia!

This morning, Carlos is flying to Russia for 10 days of preaching.(He VOTED on his way to the airport) He normally goes to Ukraine once a year to teach at a Bible school there but this year he is heading to Russia. Please pray for his traveling mercies and safety while he is there. I hope someone will be able to email me some pictures of him while he is there. Below is a picture of Carlos and one of his best friends Scott (he is a pastor too). This was taken the last time they went to Ukraine to preach. On a sidenote, I have collected teacups for years. Each year that Carlos would head to Ukraine or Russia to preach he would surprise me and bring me a new tea set. I ended up with so many that I had to ask him from now on to just bring me a new teacup and saucer :-) I ran out of room to store them all. I wonder if he will bring me one this time??? :-)

Hi Emily,

If you don't mind me asking what part of Russia is Pastor Carlos in? My dad is in Russia, Rostov-on-Donu, teaching English.

He is on his way to Moscow. I will email him and find out which towns he will be preaching in.

He just called from New York - they are waiting to get on the plane that will take them to Moscow. He said they will be in a town called Volgograd.

Oh okay thanks! I emailed my dad and told him. Volgograd is 6 hours away from Rostov-na-Donu but if my dad could go to one of the services it would be so neat...of all the places to see PC in Russia :-D

That would be awesome! I will email you his cell phone number if he wants to try to get a hold of him.
