Also, regarding food, Mc Donald's isn't Mc Donald's anymore because of the sanctions, but still the same recipes, plus extra stuff like fried shrimp. I can get a Big Mac combo for 399 rubles (about $4.50 USD). We go to nice restaurants here and can get a full dinner for around the same price. The food here is great, vegetables taste better than in the US. Food is fresher. Bread only lasts a few days because lack of preservatives. I can go on and on.
I would say the most difficult thing for me right now is not being able to preach in the open because I don't have my temporary residence permit yet. As a missionary I have to be careful until I get one. I'm helping to build a church, and the pastor can't list me on anything either (until I get the TRP). I did preach last Sunday in his absence but had to do it more as a testimony.
It's a great place to live, especially living on my retirement.

I thought the same during my three years there training Ivans. Great to hear you are spreading the Word, God Bless you Brother.

Macdonalds just opened up in my first visit to Moscow ( 1990s)….Gorbachev, transition from Communism to Capitalism. The Wild West….i watched the entire transition, which included a great resurgence in Christianity. Please do keep posting, boots on the ground witnessing is what the West needs to hear.
