Just as U.S. churches send missionaries to other countries, Tanya (far left) is sent as a missionary to Tambov from her home church in Ukraine. (Though it is formerly part of the Soviet Union, there are many more Christian churches in Ukraine.) Valya (far right) is serving as a missionary as well, but she is from this region. It's been fun to rub shoulders with these girls and serve alongside them at winter camp and at Immanuel's Child events. They are also taking Jim's class this week. We took this picture on a day when we all happened to be wearing the same color. Tanya also has some fabulous pink tights that she wears! We will be praying for Tanya and Valya as they serve here. They will be living in the Tambov area for another year. It really is neat how God has bonded us to new friends so quickly! I'm sad to be saying good-bye to everyone today. I'm also praying for my missionary friend JEN! She is here for one more week, and I know that God has neat plans for her remaining time here.
