it's always always mixed feelings when daddy comes home. it's been 7yrs since he's been doing the 8mts in korea and 4mts in chicago thing. i should be used to it, no? we're (my mommy and i) gonna leave in about half an hour to pick him up and i can't get rid of these mixed feelings! GRR

on the other hand, praise the LORD i am 70% of the way there for my finances for russia! How amazing is that?! thank you so much for your support! i will definitely be sending personalized stuff and updates through email soon when the time draws nearer. but i'm seriously blown away by God's grace and rebuked by my unbelief.

i'm still reading the book i need to read for training and paying attention to news that's currently going on in russia. it's hard to keep up because i don't know a lot of stuff that has happened in the past 20 years, but i'm starting to catch on.

i've gotta go out and take some pictures. aigo! make this page a little more fun. ^ ^
