Hi everyone!
We are safely in Russia!  Thanks for praying.  Yesterday was a long day, but everything went pretty well.  Once we got to the airport here it took us three hours to get through passport control.  While we stood in line we prayed that the driver who was supposed to take us to look at the apartment would wait.  He did!  We came through customs and found him right away.
 
It looks like the apartment will work for us, but we have to wait until the landlord's aunt can sign the contract, since she owns part of it.  We had hoped just to be able to move in last night.  Still that's an unexpected blessing, because now we get to stay with James and Susan Beaird, friends of ours here in Moscow.
 
Today Will is at a pastors conference with James.  Then they'll go to the airport to retrieve the luggage that didn't get here when we did.
 
It may be a little while before we answer emails, but we'd love to hear from you.  Please keep praying for us!
Love and prayers,
Phyllis for both of us
