The food is sooooooooooooooooooooo good here. And the Russians love to feed their guests. Every home we visit or even Teen Challenge center, they fill the table with food. They sure do like carbs and sugar!! Almost everything homemade I have had, I have loved. It isn't spicy at all and some stuff kinda needs salt but it's not near as bland and bad as I was expecting. Though, I do miss the spicy stuff at home!!
Every night that we have been home, this week, we have sat in the kitchen and played uno or girl talked. It is amazing how well all 6 of us get along. Maybe I forgot to mention that there are 6 girls in the 3 bedroom apartment. Let me 'splain. Sveta is the "main" tenant but the apartment is funded by the church which is why guests get to stay there. Then there are 2 girls from the orphanage that are now too old to live there. Katrina, the New Yorker, is leaving tomorrow and she and I have been sharing a room. The Canadian girl Kim has a room of her own though I think she is about to move to mine be/c once Katrina leaves another girl is coming to stay be/c she is going to the university in the city. The two orphan girls sleep on fold out chairs in the living room. So, it's quite the houseful.
Well, it's Sunday, which means we are going back to the drug district to invite people to come to church. There was several last week that came. Though half of them were drunk and kinda fell asleep during the service. BUT they were at church. So, I am excited to see what happens today when we get there!
Until next time............

Hi Kristine, I have been all wrapped up in the Olympics, which were fantastic this year, and so did not check my email. Now that I have, I have caught up on your blog. By the way, don't expect me to be hip. I may not always use the correct terminology. It sounds like you are having the adventure of a lifetime. I am so very proud of you. I hope you are taking lots of pictures. You mentioned the beautiful scenery and I am sure the living history that you are surrounded by is simply amazing. I have changed stores after 15 years, from Mckinney to the Neighborhood Market in Murphy. I started on Aug. 18 and so far love it. Morgan and family have moved in with us and I am so enjoying having the babies around every day. Uncle Ricky says he loves you and misses you. He is begging for a lapel pin. He'll send rubles if needed. I'll talk to you later. I love you.
