I am listening to Ukrainian music. The more I listen to it, the more and more words I can pick out and translate. This is a highly satisfying endeavor for me.
A paper is due Wednesday. You know the rest.
This morning I talked to my family on Skype, and there were few to no connection problems (!). Isaac said my name for the first time in about two years (!!). It is so great to hear him starting to repeat sounds and words again. I pray his progress continues. My sisters read me some of their Kabardine homework - that's a local language that they teach at school there. Pretty foreign-sounding.
The leg warmers and scarves from Russia have come back out again. So great. I think cold weather makes me dress oddly because I have fewer clothes but have to wear more so I just wear weird combinations and layers. It is fun trying to strategize how to be warm without wearing the same thing all the time.It hit me the other night that it is mid-October and a lot of college seniors finalize their post-graduation plans around this time. As in, it is mid-October. It is that time. In that moment I freaked out, but ultimately I am fine with not knowing what I am doing next year. Something will happen, I will do something and be somewhere. I will hopefully be doing and living somewhere that I like, but if not, things will work out. I don't know if that is being naively optimistic, or choosing to trust in God, but I am hoping for the latter. He has provided for me in the past and He is faithful.

Sals,
What a blessing to have such simple but beautiful joys in interacting with Isaac! I am so happy for you, and will be praying that his progress continues.
You are right to trust that the Lord has a plan for you and will take care of you, open doors, etc. I will be praying for this as well. I know it is scary.
I adore you.
