The Burr in the Burgh

Hi everyone - this is Pastor Stiegemeyer's wife, Julie. I just got off the phone with Scott, and he asked me to update his blog to let everyone know what's going on with his mission trip.

He arrived in Vladivostok yesterday (I think pretty late last night), and now they are getting ready to leave Vladivostok and fly to Petropavlosk. Even though here in Pennsylvania it's Saturday around 7:45 p.m., he said it's already Sunday morning there. Once they get to Petropavlosk, they will have one night to rest, and then will be starting their teaching on Monday, which he said is tomorrow according to his timetable. (Whew! I can't keep up with the time changes.)

I have Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia on my computer (which is kinda cool) and am looking at a map of Vladivostok. It's adjacent to Japan, which is just how far east he is. If you have a decent map, check it out.

Here's a pretty good link to time zone info. This link shows the current time in Kamchatka, which is the region where Petropavlosk is--where he'll be tomorrow (or is it today?).

Anyway, thank you all for your prayers. God's holy angels are protecting and watching over him.
