This Mongolian gentleman in the middle spent more than 4 years working in Washington state.
Some church members of ours there met him through his work in a restaurant and connected us. We have been trying to meet all through COVID, and finally he made the long trek to meet us at church this past Sunday. He lives in the capital, but still tries to care for his animals in the countryside. He wanted to make sure if I ever know any American who needs anything to let him know. He's so grateful for all the people who helped him when he was working and living in America.
Maggie and Lydia called me on my birthday this week. Johanna and Clara did too, but I didn't get a picture of their video (or audio) singing to me ;D
Renee took me out to lunch the same day.
Interestingly there was a Russian father and son from Vladivostok, Russia sitting behind her. He approached our table and chatted about his plans to emigrate to Argentina and find work 'until Putin dies'. There are so many Russians seen and heard now here on the street. They seem to have money for meals and hotels, but can only stay for 1 month. Then what? We had 5 or 6 join us for church last Sunday at Cornerstone Church of All Nations. Will there be more this week? Will our Ukrainian members be there? God knows, He is bigger than war. Pray for peace and that God uses this evil invasion somehow for his good and glory.
