Latest news + Pray for...
Direction
Our commitments to Muizenberg base are completed and both of us strongly feel it's time to move on. We are sure that God want's us to move on something else next year but we don't know what it is. Please pray for us so that we wouldn't do any steps without God's direction.
YURY'S LEG IS GETTING BETTER
After car exident 28.12.2005 I've got my knee broken and I was operated in the beginning of this year. I think my doctor was sent by God, as he did very good job and I can bend my knee already more than 90 degrees after a little more than a week after cast removal.
However, I don't know yet when I'll be able to walk, and walk with no crutches. Will see the doctor again in beginning of the next week and then I'll know more.
PLEASE TAKE A TIME TO PRAY FOR YOURI !!!!!
Dear friends!!

23.10.2005 16.25 We've got a son! Irina is still in hospital feeling good. Everything was great with her and the baby. So far we decided to name our son - Stefan
September 2005
We are still in Rostov-na-Donu, in Russia, and after long waiting we have finally got internet connection in our flat. Now I'm going to be online more often and you will hear more news from us. First of all, our baby is comming in one month and we are waiting for him buying clothes and stroller and making arrangements with doctors and clinick where Irina will give birth. It's a big business here in Russia, you need to find the right doctor and right clinick, but this is a different story.

Hi, that's me again and I'm so sorry AGAIN for not updating you with news. The pregnancy of ours is not news anymore so, I'm not going to tell much about it except that doctors think that this is going to be a boy. Name? we didn't manage to come up with one result so, we don't have a name yet. My beloved wife went to visit her relatives and friends in her home town Monchegorsk while I'm working here in Rostov-na-Donu. Oh thee is a new thing: I've got job as a programmer in one of the companies here. So far I have to admit - I don't like my job, most likely because I don't have to do progamming here but have to take care of ancient computers of the clients and explain to them (clients) how the computer works. I also have to learn again because programming language that I have to use here is different from what I learned in college. I'm also missing missions VERY much. I would say the same about Irina.

Its so long time since we've talked to you last time, I guess you keep coming here with the hope to see some new stories from us... Well, here we go, there are alot of news that are going through my mind at the moment, just need to choose the major ones.
January 2005
I'm so sorry for the long silence. We are on the little vacation now which (vacation) will be finished only when we come back to Russia. This is not so much time as you might think, we are going back to Russia in about two-three months. Yes, we are going back, our time in South Africa has come to the end. God clearly wants us to move on in our life. What are we planning to do? Most likely I'm going to join one christian computer business, Irina will continue her photography studies and probably will have some photo practice helping me to do some of designes, by the way - her knowlege of Adobe Photoshop is much better than mine. This are our close future plans.
Sharks 16.11.2004
By Wendell Roelf
An eyewitness to a presumed Great White shark attack along the False Bay coastline on Monday morning described how the shark circled its prey and tore into an elderly female bather.
"All that was left was a little red bathing cap," said False Bay Yacht Club rear commodore Paul Dennett, who witnessed the attack from his home, about 100m from where the bloodied water was dissipating.
Dennett said that at about 7am he saw a lot of thrashing in the water, about 20m off the shoreline of Fish Hoek Beach.
He went outside and saw the shark attacking something, which he initially suspected was a seal.
Summer! 26.10.2004
Summer is here!
Great to meet you again! We have a few things that happening around - first of course is summer. It's nice warm weather outside and a lot of people already swim in the ocean, even though temperature there is not much higher than 15 degrees. Well, I already been there in the water but I used wet suit, so water wasn't that cold to me.
