I am now located in Princeton, NJ, where I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Russian history. I am specializing in the Soviet period and my dissertation is on the dismantling of the Stalinist Gulag under Khrushchev, a topic prompted by my mission experiences in Magadan. A few years ago I was able to go back to Magadan for two months to conduct research for my M.A. thesis. Being back was great and it was good to see some of the old members, although many had moved by then na materik. I can't believe it's been 10 years already since I was there the first time!! I was disappointed to find out soon after I left that the missionaries were pulled out of that city. This past summer I was in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine on a research trip and it was neat to the see the missionaries and attend church in each place. Next year I will be living in Moscow doing more dissertation research. My free time is spent with my wife and three kids; we love to rock climb, camp, and anything else that involves the outdoors, although it is tougher to do all that here in NJ (where there are no mountains). |
