Don't worry, I haven't forgotten you all, dear readers. It's just that the Internet here is slow, erratic, and monopolized by a seventeen-year-old. I keep writing long (very long) blog posts on my laptop on various topics, but I haven't gotten them all finished yet. When I get a few done, I plan to transfer them via flash drive to a computer with Internet and upload them to the blog.
In other news, I'm having a great time. I haven't had this much free time in ages. Today Vlada, Ruslan, Valera, Kolya (Vlada's boyfriend), and I went swimming in the river. I don't think I'd gone swimming since the last time I was in Balaklia two years ago.
The worst thing I've done so far was manage to trip and fall and skin one knee Sunday night. It looks rather dreadful (and makes me feel like I'm about 10 years old, to fall and skin my knee like that ), but I keep it well peroxided and I think it's going to be fine.
My friend Melanie from grad school, who's been teaching in Poland, is on her way to visit me. Prayers for her safe arrival in Balaklia are appreciated, especially because the last I heard from her, her first train (out of 4, I believe) was running late and she wasn't sure if she'd be able to make her connection in Warsaw. If she misses it she probably won't be able to visit me after all, so I'm praying that all goes well.
Also: Does anyone have the piano music for the song "Yes, I Know," which was sung by the Gaithers (among other people)? I learned the Russian version last night and would like to sing it in church on Sunday, but I don't have the piano music. If anyone has it, could you please scan it and email it to me at behrenw3 at yahoo dot com? Thanks!
