Progress continues, Oksana has started reading Gen.to us then she will go to google translator and type it out so she can understand what she is saying.  We continue to add more to her vocabulary, and she is trying to work on enunciation of (th)'s and (er)'s.  Today she wanted me to read in Mathew one verse at a time and then she would ready it in a Russian bible. 

This will be the last long week, then things will start to progress, we just need to get through this week, pray for us that time will pass and we will continue to progress.  We try to break the day up Oksana sleeps in late which gives us some quiet time.  Then we will have a brunch, some time going out to the store to get food first.  Oksana is getting good at helping me get the food and pay for it.  Reading time, then calling home to video chat.  We are using GMail to do this if anyone has an account and would like to call it is free and works good when the internet connection is good, that can change at any moment. 

Yesterday we enjoyed the celebration the church had apparently the prodestant churches pick a day in Sept. or Oct. to celebrate thanks giving to God for the harvest of the year and thanks for the Word of God.  They put on a big meal feeding 120-150 people after the service, which had many people participating in readings and or songs on top of the three sermons which is a normal sunday.

Till next time, Mark, Kaylee, and Oksana sending our Love to you all.
