Sunday Morning at Pastor Vasily's Church and Goodbye's at the Airport
Sunday morning Carlos spoke at Pastor Vasily's church. He asked our praise team to do the praise and worship along with the other's from their team. 
This is Natalie, the one of the pastor's daughters. She leads worship for the youth band for their church. She and her sister ended up marrying brothers - how cool is that :-) Natalie is expecting her first baby in October!
They have a youth choir that joined in too!
Here Pastor Vasily is getting ready to bring up Carlos. Carlos met Pastor Vasily at a Benny Hinn Crusade about 13 years ago. Ever since then Carlos has been going annually to Washington/Oregon to preach at their church and many others.
Vasily's wife Elana translating for Carlos while he preaches.
He had 5 people who were at the Encounter come and give testimonies from the weekend.
This is Olga
Viera -
This is Susha ( it is her nickname that I call her - I can't remember how to spell her actual name) . 
This is Michael.
During Carlos' sermon, he used Jordan and I in an illustration.
Lisa snapped this picture as I was going back to my seat. 
Towards the end of the service Isai, one of our team members, said that he felt that there was a separation in genertions in their congretation. He had everyone under 40 go to one side of the church and everyone 40 and older go to the other side. He then prayed an awesome prayer asking God to bring together the two generations.
He then asked the two generations to come together and hug - an older generation with a younger generation. It brought great unity to the whole congregation.
At the end of the service they called our whole team to the front and thanked us for coming and ministering. They then presented us all with boxes of Russian chocolates! Yum!!!
They then served us an awesome lunch upstairs in their fellowship hall. The food was all Russian specialties . . . .it was soooooooooooooo good!
Last night our flights left between 10:30 pm and 11:20 pm. We were surprised by many of the youth showing up at the airport to tell us goodbye!
This is Ben and his lovely fiance. They are getting married next month!
We all want to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone that hosted our team. Everyone was so generous and your all were incredible hosts. We had the best time and we will miss you all!!!!!

Emily, you ARE just a tiny little thing, aren't you?!
Looks like you all had a really awesome weekend.
Two of Tim's cousins (girls) married brothers. It's very convenient for family gatherings since there's only ONE extra family to have to include instead of two different families... the inlaw side that is!
Miss you all already!
P.S. THE worst picture of me!
