Hey everyone, I'm sure you all know that I got married... sorry that I haven't written much about it, but it sure is cool! Anyway, Diana and I are in Kiev right now getting ready to take a flight to the States tomorrow morning. We will be there for 8 weeks, bouncing all over the country. Please get in contact if you want to hang out. We will be at Calvary Chapel Cleveland this Saturday from 2-6pm for an open house/ reception. If you are in Cleveland during that time, please stop by for a few minutes and say hi. If you haven't seen any of our wedding pics yet, you can check out our photographer's site  .

Hey everyone, Diana and I are headed to Donetsk tonight by train. We have an appointment with the Czech embassy to get her a visa. We are planning on going to Prague for our honeymoon. I don't need a visa, but she does because she's a Ukrainian citizen. So you can pray for our time there and favor with the embassy. I'm not really concerned about it, because Diana already has many visas to multiple countries in her passport. She shouldn't have a problem getting it. I'm praying that they will give us a visa same day instead of having to take another trip back to Donetsk. The Lord totally worked the timing out for her to have the time off to go. We found out last week that this Tuesday (the day we're going), the school will be closed for one day.

Besides that.... everything is coming along for the wedding planning.

Good news. as an update from the last post, David came to my apartment Wednesday morning. I was getting ready to go to the school when the door bell rang. I'm almost always surprised when the bell rings, because people rarely come to visit unannounced. Anyway, it was David, and he wanted to talk. This time he was clearly in his right mind. He sat down and told me the whole story about what has been happening in his life. Without going into all the details, about 6 months ago, he started dating a Ukrainian girl. The relationship pretty much turned him away from the Lord. On top of that, it seems that she was seriously into witchcraft. When he finally realized the depths of the evil she was involved in, he tried getting away, but it became pretty crazy spiritual warfare. Last Saturday night after he had run out of her house with no coat and no shoes, he ended up back at the dorm. He wanted someone to pray for him so he found some Nigerian guys that were I guess "pastor" in a Nigerian church near by... long story short... they gave him some horrible, unbiblical council. It was basically messed up. By the time they were done with him, they had him convinced that God wanted him to die and he wasn't supposed to leave his bed until it happened... this is where Stephen and I found him. After leaving, and seeing that he indeed DIDN'T DIE, he came to his senses. so when he came to me, I stayed with him for a while and showed him through the Word how those guys were wrong and also challenged him about the relationship with that girl. I challenged him to stay in the Word and return to fellowship, as he hadn't been to church in a long time. He came to church Thursday night praise the Lord!

On another note, I was looking through some pictures on my computer and I found this cute one:
