details from the week...

hey friends and fam-
wanted to check in let you know how everything is going...in short its going great...

in length...there are several themes running throughout our time so far: chess, cottonwood trees, the usual crazy asian driving, shashlik(awesome shish kebabs), english lessons, and sports, and heat! we had a couple of really nice days (wed-thurs), but the heat returned today! tomorrow we get to go to the beach with a few of our students and eat and chill! it should be sweet! except for the fact that the last beach we went to was more a like a really hot parking lot with lots of sharp rocks and some sand...i digress...

father has blessed us so much...several of our new friends have gotten the chance to hear about Him and i got the chance to play and share some songs about him! heck yeah! we trust his moving and working! thanks for your encouragement and i should be able to keep you informed more often because we just got email in our apartment! all these guys want to use this computer so i have to get off now but just know that you all are in my thoughts and i thank father for your support!!

nonnie- thanks so much for your "thoughts"...i really enjoyed playing speed scrabble with you a few weeks ago and if you wouldnt mind keeping your granddaughter out of too much trouble that would be much appreciated! i hope that i can visit with you about this place when i return!
