Russia

It was so great to have Jenni and Kelsey visit. It is hard sometimes when people ask about Russia and all they want is a sentence. It was nice to sit at Stella's for about two hours and talk about the people there. To talk about the needs and struggles there. I think it was especially nice for Jenni to not have to talk about politics. Because when people hear Russia that is what they think.

Sunday was a really hard day though. It was because Thanksgiving break was over, Jenni and Kelsey left, and all that talk about Russia had made me miss it so bad. Just hearing about how everyone is doing and how the church is made me miss everyone there so bad. It was good to hear that one of my friends had repented. It made me very very happy because I had known that he was almost there before I left. It was good to get confirmation of that.

My final for Humanities class is a paper on a significant experience in my life. It has been really hard these past couple of days really desiring to be in Russia and not being there. I can not think of God giving me a more comforting assignment. Who doesn't like to talk about themselves? So for my final I get to talk about myself and my FAVORITE thing in the whole world, Russia, for five pages. God has great timing. Even though I am sad that I am not there and I miss so many people, it is good that I have this assignment. It will be an awesome narrative of my two summers there.
