Mary's decision

Forwarded from Mary:


First, I want to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers over the past few days. There were times during the decision-making process when I got really tense and nervous, but God would always remind me that you guys were praying for me. That means a lot.Yes, I have made my final decision. I will not be accepting the invitation to Russia. There are a lot of important things happening in my family this summer, beside the fact that my grandparent's are in poor health and I want to spend as much time as possible with them. Plus, the general conclusion in my family was that moving to Russia was probably just a little drastic for my first trip out of the country. Basically, my parents and pastor (as well as I) were just very uncomfortable with the idea of me traveling alone in a communist country.So I want to thank you all again for your prayers while I made this very difficult decision, but you don't have to worry any more - God willing, I won't be missing any H2Os this summer!
By His grace and for His glory,
Mary
