3 Weeks

Russia here I come in 3 weeks!!! I will fly out of Tulsa to Atlanta and then to Moscow on August 17th and arrive the 18th. I am still waiting on my letter of invitation so that I can apply for my work visa, but it is all going to happen really soon, and I cannot wait!

As far as I know, I will be working with 3 to 5 year old children in a class size of about 12 or so. From looking at the pictures, the kids are pretty darn cute too! If you want, go to the link to the MES website (on the left side of my blog page), and look at some pictures from the school, there should be an option to change the text from Russian to English at the top right of the website, then you'll be able to see at the bottom right of the website a place to go to the "picture of the day."Also, there are a few things I wanted to bring to your attention about this page. I have a "Russian word of the day" to your left, and at the bottom I have a place where you can check how the weather is in Moscow (Hopefully it won't be THAT cold!).

As the trip gets closer, you can be praying for the group of American teachers that are going (Any anxieties, all the preparations that must be done, quality time with those we love, being mentally, physically, and spiritually prepared, etc.), the Russian staff that are already at MES, and, of course, for the children that we will have the opportunity to teach.

Thank you so much for reading, and I promise that more interesting blogs will be posted as I actually arrive to Moscow!
