We have a love hate relationship!

Sorry I know this is lame picture to have up of MOSCOW but its the only one i could get before my time ran out. Ill do more later! Anyways this is my russian boyfriend. His name is Artok... yes and he is a model for GQ in Russia. HA... this was our first night out in Moscow. One of the girls from California has a friend that comes over to Moscow for business. He knew she was in town so he took us all out to dinner at the GQ bar. The bill for 8 people was 75,000 rubles which comes to 3,000 american dollars! Crazy! The dinner took 5 hours! We got there at 10 and didnt get home tell 4 am. And we stopped at St. Basils on the way home. This pics arent great but they are on here.

Well i teach 3 classes a week, basic reading 6 hours, kindergarten 4 and a catch-up class for 2 hours. I love my basic reading cause they understand a lot and there are 4 girls and 2 boys. The girls are smart. But the other classes are hard. I had no idea this that the teaching would be so hard!

I love Russia. It is so beautiful and green. We are outside the city so transportation is limited and we can only really go into Moscow on the weekends but we still have lots of fun back at our apartment. This last weekend when we went into town we toured a little bit. We went to Levins grave. (I think thats his name) Mcdonalds! Which was sooooo good. And i got a coke (no mt dew in russia) And we went to dinner with that guy. He was so nice and generous. But also brought up the gospel a lot in conversation. A good example of giving and reaching out to others. (he only knew one of us). Anyways and this weekend we are all looking forward to going back to St. Basils and going to IKEA!

Sorry dont mean to bore everyone with the long post. Ill let you know more of whats up and try to get lots more pictures posted. Love you all. Please e-mail marciedabell@gmail.com
