Russian Exams (Thankfully not mine)

Many of you have heard Kellye and I talk or write about our language teacher, Irena.  She is a wonderful teacher and we really can't say enough about how patient and kind she is.  You may have also heard us talk about her son, "Erik" and the problems he is having with his exams at the university here in Moscow. 

Now, I won't pretend to know all of the ins and outs of the Russian university system, so let me just say that you need to continue to pray for him.  After successfully passing the test he needed to in order to be eligible to take his battery of exams, he is struggling with the exams themselves.  He has another today and another later this week and yet another next week.  If he performs poorly on too many of these tests it is possible that he will be removed from the university and compelled to join the Russian Army.  And you can only imagine what kind of life that could mean.  

So, please join our family in prayer for Erik and Irena this week and next as he studies for and takes his exams.

Thanks!

Blessings,

Marc
