Hello Everybody,
Happy Easter! Christ has risen! On Easter we went to church and had an Easter service. After the service, people came up to us and gave us Easter eggs and the Russian kulich, a small cake with icing on top. Trust me, you don’t want to eat one. They’re rock hard.
We got some snow here recently, but fortunately, it all melted pretty quickly. (It’s around 55 degrees F here.)
Music school has been going VERY well. I just got a certificate for playing in the city competition. Jake got a Diploma. Also, I took part in another city competition with my ensemble. Jake and his ensemble got first, while mine got second. On Tuesday I’m going to have an exam on the violin. I’m playing four pages of notes that I memorized. It’s fairly hard to play. Please pray for me. Teaching my friend, Artem, to play the guitar has not been going as well as I hoped. After six months we’re still at beginner’s level. Just recently I gave him an exam and he got 68% right. He’s just now starting to understand certain rules. Now my dad also wants to learn to play the guitar. This isn’t the first time. Last year I had started to teach him, but since he didn’t have enough time, he had to stop.

Vitalik, Artem, and I

Youth has been going well, and so has church. Our church’s praise group has asked Jake and I to play the violin and the cello in the church. I’ve played in our church before, but that was when I had played on the guitar.
A couple days ago, I tried to share the gospel with my friend, Igor. Unfortunately, he is a non-stop joker and doesn’t take anything seriously. Please pray that God will open a door for me.
Well, that’s all for now.
Your brother in Christ,
Jordan

And this is me playing the guitar in my room!!
