Arrival in Moscow

Until recently I never imagined myself as a husband, father, and international traveler happening all at the same time. But here we are, in Russia…We arrived in Moscow on a Wednesday the 13th of August after 23 hours of traveling, an overnight flight from Seattle to London, 6 hours of layover (a quick trip into downtown), and then a 3 hour flight to Moscow. Aurora was of course our biggest concern and she was amazing, some small cries, no screams and a lot of eating and sleeping.

Shannon’s parents are here in Moscow as missionaries for our church. Craig is a physician who is the overseer of heath concerns for hundreds of missionaries across Russia, no small task. Lorna is a great support, hostess for sick missionaries, teaches English to the Russians and local culture to new missionaries. They have what is a very spacious apartment close to a metro line, therefore within about an hour of any site we would care to see in Moscow. We have and will be taking advantage of this incredible opportunity.
