(Note: Ms. Sheri Medlock, former SMS eighth grade reading teacher is now teaching in Russia and is sending weekly updates.)
Greetings!
Big Events of the last week:
* Sunday we had Bible Study and an English lesson at the Wolfes. It was very good to fellowship with my Russian brothers and sisters.
* Tuesday the Wolfes and I went to the main English First office. We had to sign our contracts and fill out paperwork for our visa renewals. My visa expires September 29.
Struggles this week:
* The major struggle was finding an apartment. I looked at several, each with something that made it impossible for me to live there.
* I have had some problems getting use to all the walking here. This is something that will take sometime for my body to get use to it.
Victories this week:
* I found an apartment! I move in today!
Relationships:
* The time I have had living at the Wolfes has been wonderful. I am very thankful for the opportunity to get to know them better.
Daily Walk:
* I am still in 1 Peter.
Ahead this week:
* Today I move in.
* I will be talking to my supervisor at the school about what classes I will be teaching.
* Monday I start work.
Prayer:
* I am meeting with a college student, Masha, who needs a roommate. Though she can't pay much rent, she would be able to give me Russian lessons and act as a translator. There are pros and cons to this arrangement. Pray that we will make a wise decision for both of us.
* Please pray for my new students who I will soon be meeting. Pray that I will be an effective teacher and an accurate portrayal of Christ.
* Pray my health can adjust to the amount of walking I am doing regularly here.
Thank you for all your prayers. I love getting your e-mails.
