| "Tie your shoes and pray for the Hughes" |
Our trip back to Eastern Europe was one of the better ones we have had. The flight itinerary worked well and we arrived with all our luggage. It took a little longer than previous times for our bodies to realize that we had changed time zones but they eventually figured it out. This being our first furlough we wondered how our Russian would be. We found that while some fringe elements of the language have drifted and need review, some of the core ideas seem to have actually sunk deeper into our understanding. We still have a lot to learn, but there are not large volumes to relearn.
Through an acquaintance of an acquaintance of a friend, we were able to find an apartment to rent for the next few months. We moved July 1st, and I could fill the rest of the page describing the little blessings from God’s hand throughout the day as all of the necessary details came together. Although we know where we live, we are unsure about our address. We will include that in our next update.
The task at hand is unpacking our totes, boxes and luggage and settling into our apartment. With a couple more days’ work, things should be pretty well under control. After that we will give as much time as we can to help David and Stephanie with the work on their house. Our two families will be meeting together on Sundays and we will lead Bible studies as we find interested people.
In His service,
Jacob and Viola Hughes
For Prayer:
1. Progress to be made on the first floor of the Grosses home

For Praise:
