Each one saved materials, scraped, laid stones from labor camp barracks, designed, woodcarved, painted pictures, each contributing their gifts. A new church is being built. It may take four years to complete it because finances are very limited. We will be in Moscow May 31 to June 3 to meet Sister Mary Elise Leiker and bring her to Chelyabinsk. We are very happy here.
Spring is very slow in coming.
When it rains, it gets cold, below freezing. We are getting our home papered, painted, electrically rewired for our computer e-mail, and waiting for our telephone. All the people we meet are very nice. Those in our church are like a family. When they work for us, we pay them.
