Philip's Trip to Moscow

Saturday morning Philip and Brian left Vladimir at 5:15am for Moscow. They were headed to pick up Blair Ritchey from the airport. He is teaching a church planting class at the Bible school this week. Before picking up Blair, Philip and Brian headed to a supermarket and Starbucks! (Philip did bring me home a bag of Starbuck's Decaf coffee!!! Yum!) After picking up Blair at the airport and eating a quick lunch, they headed to an open market place where they could buy souvenirs. They arrived home around 7pm that evening.
Adalynn and I spent the day helping out at the Yarmarka. Well, helping as much as we could! The sale went well and we got rid of a lot of things. There is still a handful of stuff to find homes for in the next 2 weeks.

Here is an ice skating rink inside the mall!

Philip got some yummy treats at Awah (Ashon). We are enjoying peanut butter, flour tortillas, popcorn, Tabasco sauce, and taco seasoning!

A Russian dish called shashlic.

Shopping

A happy wife and daughter--double cheese burger, fries, and chicken nuggets! I know, I know who gets excited about McDonalds?---someone who hasn't had something like that for awhile!

See you all in 2 weeks!
Blessings,
Philip, Kara, Adalynn, and baby Gwen
