Tough day today. Went to the WW2 museum which was a very somber place. Found out that 27 million Russians lost their lives during the war. That number is crazy. The war pretty much devastated the country. There were all sorts of items from the war, dioramas, and a giant room with sculptures on the walls.

Went to McDonalds, very russian, for our last meal

Wow. To think we only spent 11 days with these people and it’s so hard to say goodbye. I know God brought us to Moscow for a Reason, and maybe it was to befriend some of the people. Sergei, Rema, Olga, Dasha, Diana, Tasha, Cinda, Tanya, Davide…I feel blessed so much to have met all these people and pray God will keep the communications lines open. Thank goodness for email!!! We have to keep in touch with as many people as possible, especially Dasha. Amanda and I pretty much adopted her as our little sister, so we have to stay in touch. We were able to bless her a little bit before we left which I won’t get into here(online).

Saying goodbye was tough. People were tearing up, and it was hard. Diana had taught us how to say “I’ll miss you” (”yah boodoo scuchayet”). All through the passport line they were all waving at us. Such wonderful people and I pray God protects them and we might see them again someday! Goodbye Mockba and new friends.
