No matter that the thermometer read 20F — I was immediately wrapped in warmth and care when I arrived at 4 a.m. in the Samara Airport. Tanya brought a heavy, thick wool-lined coat, Marina and Igor presented me with a lovely shawl, and had the heater running in their car to take me to Alla’s place, where she had a warm hug and bowl of soup waiting for me. Hospitality just doesn’t get any better!
Glad you made it safe Jeanette! I’ll keep you in my prayers as you interact with all our Russian friends. I know God will use you! Love and hugs – Kasey
Thanks, Kasey! I’m sure you would feel right at home here in this Alaska-type environment. Happy New Year, my friend.
