Kirensk City

We spent a few days in Kirensk. It took us five hours by a speed boat to get to the Kirensk city: we enjoyed the view of the river Lena for five hours! Then we crossed another river Kirenga by boat and came to the place the pastor's family stays in. The Pastor was out for a long time (he worked in Irkutsk for a couple months to make some money for his family).

We prayed together with his family in the "prayer room" on the river's bank! Our God is close to listen
