oooooooh, I am so full of different emotions right now. I just had lunch with this wonderful girl named Tif, and she told me all about Russia, and the experiences she had a couple years ago when she went on the same adventure as me...and I'm slightly flipping with excitement and fear. haha
BUT! more so excitement! You guys don't understand the opportunity this is! I get to serve for FIVE STRAIGHT MONTHS in a country clear across the world. I get to live with people I don't understand, and that I've never met, I get to travel within and all over Russia, and even to countries like Switzerland, the Netherlands, and other unique small countries! I get to spend three hours a day teaching students English, and thus help them improve their future. I get a first hand trial experience of serving a mission, I get to freeze while walking on the frozen sidewalks of Moscow, or some other beautiful Russian city. I get to meet babushka's. and learn Russian. I get to embrace a new culture and learn more of what life has to offer. and celebrate my 19th birthday across the world.
I GET TO HAVE THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFE TIME!
and i just can not wait!
ha. but I also have two months to earn over 2,000 dollars. So benefit car washes, garage sells, and bake sells, here you come!
:))))
and now a babushka just for you :)
