Hello Hello!


I want to officially invite you to be apart of the blogging you find below. They are to show a piece of my journey; what has been, what is and what is to come.
I invite you to come back and be apart of the stories, my thoughts, frustrations and laughs. I invite you to be apart of my good days and the not so good ones.
Join me as I travel to Russia, Eastern Europe and other places. Join me as I step out in faith to where I believe that God is calling me.

Lets Go....

Translators...

oh how I love them and hate them all at the same time!!!!

I think this week has been a tough one in regards to translators. I am learning that I defently prefer some people over others. At first I could not figure out what was really going on but when I got in a argument with someone this week... through translation... it suddenly hit me why this was happening... later on without translation the argument was resolved... why???
I realized that translators translate with their biases (how do you spell that?) and their opinions and really only can sift and pick through what they want ot do not want to translate... it hit me like a slap in the face.... oh how i must be careful and choose my words and who I trust with my words wisely!!!
the joy of life overseas!!!
if anything it has made me want to study and learn Russian that much faster!!!!!! which is maybe a good thing as I have found my enthusiam somewhat lacking the last few days... I was trying to slow down a bit as I was having trouble sleeping as all I could think of was verbs and what the proper endings were...

God please give me strength for I am quickly learning I am really not able to do this on my own!
