July 23, 2007 through July 25, 2007

These last few days were spent traveling back to Moscow and having some sight-seeing opportunities in Moscow. On July 23, 2007 we packed up and left Vladimir. We took a bus tour around the city before driving 4 hours back to Moscow. It was difficult to leave Vladimir. I so wish I could have stayed there for longer than 10 days. We arrived in Moscow around 3:30 and we had the afternoon to spend more time together as a team. We went on a river boat tour of Moscow. Here are some pictures from that tour:

On June 24, 2007 we went to tour the Red Square and the Kremlin. I was brought back to the days when I visited Russia in 1989, but this time the sights were more vibrant and clean!

On July 25, 2007 we packed our bags and boarded the plane for a 9 hour trip back to the United States. Needless to say, it was hard to leave Russia. It was a place where God truly taught me how to have faith and trust in Him. I was able to see prayers answered and share the Gospel to many children. My prayer is that the seeds that were planted during our trip will be sown as Mercy Ministries and other groups continue to work at these sites. I can't express what it meant to go to a foreign country and express God's love through our services and aid that we provided. I've grown in my walk with the Lord and have learned more about His sovereignty. I'm grateful for each and every one of you who supported me on this journey. I will carry these memories with me forever! God bless!
