At the end of October we went to Krasnoyarsk again for a training session. At first we had a plan to go there by car, so we could see all the beauty of the Siberian fall, however, man can make plans, but only what God wills, happens. So we had to go by train.

The training was beyond any expectations. What did they not do to us, what did they not put into us, what did they not try to rid us of! I never knew: communication is always a risk. You think you said one thing, then it turns out others understood quite a different thing. And they would be right too!

Also I liked a quote from C. S. Lewis. It was given in Russian, so after I translate it back into English it sounds something like “Giving a speech is like herding a flock down a street. Where the gates on the right or on the left are open, that’s where the sheep will get lost”. Figuratively, they taught us to keep the flock together and not to let it go into others’ yards during our speech.

Do you recognize those ladies? I had trouble with it, because they all changed their hair color. I guess, it is Vera, Nastya and Olya (left to right).

And this is our thank you to those who helped us to go to study there. God bless!

Krasnoyarsk fall can be a little bit white.
