What's Up With Russia and My Life
Originally my plan was to make it to Russia, or Ukraine within 2 years of graduation. So 4 years after graduation I'm still not there. In the long run I know that God will put you in the right place at the right time even though you may not agree with him at the moment. Currently in my Post Non-Russian Days I have kept myself busy playing basketball and averaging 15.1 pts a game in a league against former college basketball players, running skating parties for little kids and falling when they ask me to show them certain tricks (hey who could resist attempting something knowing that u cant do it), working on my Russian daily, hanging out with a kid that I mentor every once in a while (by the way he finally had his father return from jail and I'm really happy about that. I get really excited when kids get to have their father back in there life after so many years.), and volunteering at church with the youth group. Overall I'm busy about 5-6 nights a week and it's good. As for Russia I have no idea yet what is happening. Maybe it's best to keep my mouth closed and let God do the work. One of my friends that is around the Huntsville, Alabama area wants me to go to Voroneth. I really like the opportunities there, but I'm not sure. Another one of my friends suggested a school in Moscow that I could teach at, but wait my degree only covers social work type of stuff and Christian Schools only for teaching. That's still an option but it would require extra school and extra debt. It pays well, I could teach, and work with orphan kids. So I could have the best of both worlds. Another option that one of my friends Jessica told me about is in o so cold Siberia about an hour from where she is leaving from today. The place is close to Ulan Ude and I think that it starts with a z or something like that. Who knows maybe some other letter, but I'm a tired Adam and it's irrelevant. Other then that I have some of my Saint Petersburg connections where most of my friends are. I'm not sure. Since I'm getting really tired I think that I'm going to end the blog now. P.S. as I was stocking butter a few days ago and was reminded of the fact that no matter if I live with in 20 miles from Amish Country Blue Bonnett isn't Amish. I even have a letter from the company stating that from the company. She is a lady that they had come in and model for them, but they refuse to reveal her name to me. Anyways have a great night and look for a way to change a teen, child, or persons life today! Imagine what the world would be like if every person tried to help at least one person in something everyday!!!
