+ CLOSER TO GOD AND CLOSER TO ONE ANOTHER

On the January 21st we took a group of children, for a second time, to our friends Nastia and Andriej who live in the Tayga. This was a chance for another encounter with God in order to get closer to God and to one another. By the way, we all know very well that God loves these children very much so He always gives us beautiful weather whenever we go somewhere with them. We can only praise God with our whole hearts for this! After a several week long purga, there was wonderful sunny weather without any wind on Saturday. In the photos you can see our gorgeous volcanos: Koryaksky and Avachinsky. Sister Donata was our chief cook so no one was hungry. Our Pastor and Sister Jana were responsible for organizing games for children. Fr. John and Nastia prepared a Husky sleigh ride. It was a pure joy:). The photos will help you see and imagine what our trip to the Tayga was like.

 
  We arrive. The walk was good for everyone 

 The story about the Three Kings is interesting:) 

  The way to Bethlehem is found. There is need for the children to color the picture

  The joy of a Husky sleigh ride 

 The Huskies are strong dogs 

 A short rest

 We wonder whether a bear will be afraid of us or not? We are dressed in the national costume of the Koryaksky region. It is beautiful, isn’t it?

 Everything was just wonderful:)
