from Russia with love


Greetings from Moscow! Stoicho and I arrived here this afternoon, and are settling into the seminary. Tomorrow morning we are off to a church in the north of this great city of 20 - 25 million, to a church where the choir from Voronezh are singing together with others.

The first thing that strikes me about Moscow is how prosperous this city is! Yes, there may be poverty; but I haven't seen it yet. Far more western than Sofia! Strange, so similar and so familiar. This should be an interesting time.
Our hosts are lovely people. Here is Stoicho with me, outside the seminary.
