Beautiful Bride

---

One of our very good friends, Anna, was married today. We felt fortunate to be here to help her celebrate. Anna is from Russia and a masters degree student at IBTS. Her husband, Robert (Bob) is from Australia. We met Anna several years ago when she came to IBTS as a CAT student. We met her brothers Sasha and Timo previously and later Timo's wife, Yulia just after their wedding.

Some of the photos are in wedding regalia and others are the next day in very casual clothes. You will know which when you take a look.

Timu was SO proud for all of us to meet most of his family at last. What great parents! What wonderful children!

Good to hear from you
Thank you for putting me on your list of people to receive your blog updates. I was a little surprised to hear that you had gone back to Prague. Hope you have a great year. Are you still helping with the seminary library? Sounds like you are involved with the people there in a special way. The wedding pictures were beautiful. We had a group from our church that went to Prague in July and held sports clinics for the young people. They took equipment to give to the young people and shared the gospel with them. They will be giving a report the last Sunday of August along with the other mission groups that went to other places. Too bad you all weren't already there so they could have met you. Have a great day and keep updating me on your experiences. I enjoy reading about what you are doing. God bless you, Virginia
