Dark Christmas
The Advent season is the darkest time of the year. The sun rises only about 11am and sets 6 hours later. The darker it gets the more we are reminded that Christmas is coming, that the Light of the World is come! Look at our Christmas Stories page for more on the two Russian Christmases.
Gillian's Visa!
She arrives in Russia on December 22 and will stay with us until she flies to Tanzania, Africa for her spring semester abroad! Afterwards she will come back through Russia to see Karina graduate, and then return to the US for the summer before Karina starts college!
