When we travel by train we usually try to book ourselves on the night train, and this trip was no exception. We pulled out of Kazansky Station just after 8pm.and settled into our coupe (a compartment on the train that contains four bunks, two upper and two lower.) It will take us about 13 hours to get to Cheboksary, but traveling by train is one of my favorite things about life in Russia.
It finally started snowing this evening as I was making my way from my apartment to the train station and by the time we pulled out of the station there was already a heavy dusting of snow on the ground. Temperatures for this trip are expected to be around 0C during the day and -2C at night, so fairly mild for the latter part of November.
We are excited about this first adventure and are looking forward to spending time with our Baptist brothers in Cheboksary and for Saturday when we will meet up with Sergey, a young man from our weekly English Club who is Chuvash and has invited us to his home village. We know that God is already at work and are eager to see what he is going to do during this trip.
We have a long day scheduled for tomorrow, so we are going to take advantage of the train and settle in early for the night.
Blessings,
Marc
