Psyched-Up for MOSCOW

________________________________________________________________________________________________

HEY EVERYBODY!

POST #1
Chris Nall is RUSSIA-bound!

No pics to post yet - just getting the BLOG up & running to start.


Flying over next Saturday (the 26th) into Moscow. Once there (it'll be Sunday by then) we're planning to de-lag by staying awake - seeing 'sights' in the big city 'til Russian bedtime. Then we're traveling out a ways. I'll try to post somehow when I'm in the city 'cuz I won't necessarily have a way to post very often once I'm at the church and the youth camp. I'll send out pics & comments as I can.

Keep checking back at my blog. Вы рок-мой мир...


THANKS to all who are praying for me!

Please continue to pray. I want to be useful on my trip.
I'm preparing as well as I can for leading the music team - but still don't know what-all I will need to do. Pray that I'll be used by God - that's all that matters.
Honestly, I'm assuming Plan A is really "flexible suggestion A". Plan B, C or D, plan E, plan F...plan X would be fine - as long as it's God's plan. Keeping a "whatever" attitude has served me well before...so I'm going with that. I'm planning hard - then holding the plan loosely (...NOT AT ALL like I'll be holding my passport...).
I'm real grateful/glad I'm riding along with cool folks who've been there before. I'll lead when they ask me to - but I'm relieved I don't have to play that leader role much as we're traveling.
The whole team I'm traveling with is full of leaders with different superpowers.
I just have to be 'music guy' (the one thing I know) and hit my marks when the others tell me to. I like that.

When you pray, pray for the whole team! OK?


Gonna go DO stuff...
Thanks for checkin in on me.

I don't know much Russian (the language)...gonna try a crash listening-course this weekend.

More to come...(I'll keep you in the loop)

p.s. "Кристофер Nall - в России" from above translates simply "Christopher Nall - in Russia"

Hey Chris, I'm so excited for you! We are praying for you already...too bad I can't just jump over a country or two since we'll be on the same side of the globe for a while...that would be awesome. Russia will be terrific! I can't wait to hear about your visit there. God Bless you all, and have a blast! I love you, big bro! Cary
