a change of direction...again

Well i have been in Russia for around a month now and i can't say that it's been easy. i have gotten sick three different times since i've been here already. i am still sick with the third one. i went through some drama about two weeks ago where some of my friends weren't even talking to me and i felt all alone in this foreign country. i was left with nobody to talk to except the very guy i decided to stop talking to. very frustrating place to find myself in, stuck alone in a country where i dont speak the language. i suddenly found myself wanting to give up and just go back home to california. i was so homesick and hated my situation. english camp was good besides the drama that was happening, God was growing me. my kids are all sick right now so i haven't been able to meet with them yet unfortunately. i loved my group of kids and can't wait to hangout with them again)) as much as i came here to work with these very kids, it has been very difficult to get in contact with them. however, i have been able to meet with some of my past students and have been working with them until my new kids get well again. now i am beginning to feel God pull me in a different direction, i am seeing alot of work to be done in stancyia mir and maybe God is calling me to help work on it. this is going to be a difficult task since i do not have any position here to tell people what to do and i have strained relationships with some of them. however, i have been through these same situations in our youth group at home and know how to work through them. i am hoping to start doing some kind of bible study with the girl leaders in this group. if you help the leaders, they can help the kids. this is yet another step of faith over here. Praise Him always!
