This post is written by Vivian Dimmock - she and her husband, Chris, and their teenage son, Jeremy, have had the opportunity to go these past two years as part of the Russia Mission Team.
Well, I really did not know what to expect this year but, as we know God Blesses us ! I do get a little nervous about flying but I just keeping saying if Gods will is for us there than we will get there safely. I was so excited when we got there I was about to burst , I just wanted to see the kids!!! But God said, "Wait, I have more for ya'll."
The next morning we found out we had 5 interns to go with us,that was awsome because I knew we had more kids this year and I was a little concerned about us working with more kids. THEY were GREAT! Then we found out we would have 2 extra interpreters. That really was a blessing! Then Saturday it was a long ride to the orphanage and I could not wait! We finally get there and no one was outside but, soon as we pulled in front of the orphanage the kids were on the steps. WOW,it was GREAT to see our old friends and see some new friends . Then I heard someone say "v i v i a n" and I looked and it was little Roma . He ran and grabbed me.
Then I heard Nastia say my name by now I am really crying it was so cool they remembered us!
We then unloaded and went to work. Some times you may hit a bump in the road and everything will change, but God is in control and we were blessed some more . Monday we left the orphanage and were able to go to the town to visit the little church where Pastor Andre works. They go to the orphanage I think every week and sing with the kids and take little presents. While we were at the church we learned about there needs at the church so we prayed for them and with them we sang some too ! Then they showed us around there was 3 floors and the top floor they let women stay up there to help them walk a christian life! But, they really did not have beds to sleep, so we are helping to buy beds for them . Then we went down stairs and had tea and we talked then Susan gave all of us a Valentine card from people at our church . I started crying and Susan asked me why I was crying I didn't know but I think it was because we were there giving of ourselves and it was nice to know someone was thinking and praying for us!
It really was good to be with new kids but it was hard too because just hearing all the different stories. Some just break your hearts! Then you turn around and you are all jumping rope together.
I think you should really pray if God calling you to GO !!! It is the MOST awsome thing you ever will do ! Don't worry about the money God will send you, Just pray about , He has sent the Dimmock family twice !! God bless we have a Great church Family !!!
