Mary-Kay
Tonight we prayed for my sister Mary-Kay. She has been waiting all month for her day to come and it is finally here!
“You have found favor with God.” (Luke 1:30)
Mary-Kay was on my mind all day, because our original plan was for her to visit us here in Estonia for Christmas (she lives in Moldova). But now she has gone to America to be with my mother.
Today we had our Officers Christmas Party with the officers (and cadet) of the Estonia Region, as well as the Finland & Estonia Territorial Commanders, Colonels Carl & Gudrun Lydholm, and members of their family. Mary-Kay knows the Lydholms from when they served in Russia together, and Mrs. Lydholm taught lectures which Mary-Kay attended as a lay missionary.
Mary-Kay is the Director of the International School of Chisinau.

She is not a missionary. She is not an ESL teacher. (She has been both of these things in the past, but this current work position is much higher!)
Mary-Kay got her Master's Degree from George Mason University while teaching in the Washington D.C. public school system, where she also served as a mentor to young girls.
Mary-Kay is my best friend (besides God and Tim!) and closest confidante.
Mary-Kay is the greatest Auntie in the world!
Mary-Kay moved to St. Petersburg, Russia, eight years ago to help the Bates. Since then, she has been studying Russian and is so fluent she has even served as a translator!
Mary-Kay loves to cook, to eat, to decorate, to shop, to go to the movies.... (My, is she the total opposite of me, or what!)
What more can I boast about my sister Mary-Kay? If you know her, you know she is hard to describe! If you don't know her, then words are pretty inadequate to paint an accurate picture.
Mary-Kay was "Mr. Pollution" in a musical we did at the Portland Corps when we were little kids.
People often ask if she is the oldest. NO, I am two years older than she is! But she has almost always looked (and acted!) older than me.
Mary-Kay has been in America for about two weeks now, supporting my mother as she finished her radiation treatments. Please pray for her as she has about two more weeks left in America before returning to Moldova. (We will be together in Maine for about a week before she leaves.)
