Writers Block

I apologize for not posting in a while . . . I really do feel like I have writers block between not knowing which experiences to write about, being busy with studies, trying to process thoughts and experiences, and relating that back to everyone back home. Along with that, as my two teammates will tell you, I have had immense trouble with the English language lately, not knowing how to say anything in my native toungue because of all the Russian that is floating around in my noggin.

All of those excuses to say that I decided to write a short post to get going again and will hopefully have a final thoughts post before we head on to Moscow. We are most definitely still looking forward to our final days in Tomsk as tonight we are hanging out with Sergei and Alosha two of the people we have been able to deeply connect with while being here. We are also highly anticipating the event of the season as Max and Oksana get married tomorrow on the glorious 7-7-07, the day that I believe Max said in Tomsk alone 140 people are getting married! Sunday will be our final full day and it will be well spent with those in our house churches followed by sleeping at Jim's house before we wake up bright and early (although I'm sure the sun will already be out) to go to the airport!

It's amazing what can be done in 7 weeks. We were praying for those we have studied with and become close too during out time here and its amazing how much people have opened up to three foreigners for a short stay. We are thankful that those we have come to know have been completely willing to share their entire lives with us and open up completely to new relationships.

And if your craving more hop over to Garrett's blog as always! And if your brave enough to attempt to read more and more (and more) Brad should be giving some final thoughts soon as well!
