Dear brother Charles, piece and blessings of the Lord to you.

We are doing fine. We have got gas everywhere in the houses and it's warm.
God protects us by His mercy. I'd like to give Galina's Osipova thanks to you for your encouragement and participation in her needs.

She is asking you not to worry about the medicine. It can be delivered from the Moscow and the medicine that our doctors know. We keep praying for Galina's recovery. Her condition is still the same.

We are glad that we will have many guests visiting us this year. All the staff and parents are ready to give any help to organize their arrival and the ministry here. I will be looking forward your first information on the first group.

I'd like to tell you that we got three boxes with clothes, socks and peanut butter. Those are the boxes that Natasha asked about. Tell her a lot of thanx from everyone - it's a good Christmas present!

Everyone is experiencing hard times, prices grow again and unemployment is growing too.

Praise the Lord for His love, that the Crimean ministry to orphans keeps growing. Brother Charles, tell all our friends and those who are planning to come, how thankful we are and may they all be blessed.

Respectfully. Konstantin.
