I am just about finished with day 5! I arrived safely and so did my luggage. I have been adjusting, seeing the city, learning new things and learning even a little bit of the language! I can count to 5, say hello and goodbye and I know how to say a few days of the week!
We have had three days of registration for English classes. I administered tests for a few people and got to have conversations with them afterward. We have about 80 people signed up for classes that start this Monday. I am going to be teaching level 3. Good thing I know English! I also am learning how to make coffee, cappuccinos, lattes and other things!
Adjusting has been going well. A lot of things remind me of southern Russia when we first moved there. I actually learned how to make bread just this afternoon.
I have taken just a few pictures so far:

| This is the view of the city from one of the mountains that surrounds it on all sides. |

| Stacy and Michele are the other single ladies here. We went up this mountain on my first day! |

More to come! Thank you for your prayers!
Thanks for the pictures... I had to giggle at the view from your room:) Beautiful view from the mountains though! Sounds like you are very busy with lots of interesting things. We will be thinking of you Monday as you begin! Love Mom
