Several months ago I was thinking of a fun series of posts I could write for my blog to describe what it is really like to live in Siberia. I know that for me, and maybe many of my friends who are also missionaries would agree, the unusual ways of life in a foreign country often become "normal" to us as we go about our daily living. What once seemed totally strange to us soon becomes "all in a day's work" and we forget how different of a world we live in compared to our family and friends back home. Sometimes it is not until we furlough and begin to share these stories with others that we realize how unusual, dangerous, interesting, and even humorous (after the fact!) they really were.
For us here in Siberia as in most foreign fields, life is challenging at all times. By far, the most challenging part of life for us is living through the long winters. During the winter months, every day events become even more challenging and definitely funny! That being said, I would like to introduce a new series of posts on my blog called: Frozen Tales. In this series I will share stories of life during the winter in the middle of Siberia and the moments that make it so memorable. Hope you enjoy it! Stay tuned!
I already created a button with the above image which you can grab at the bottom right side of the Home blog page.

I'm looking forward to reading your new series. I'd love for you to link up to our Missionary Mondays.
