After a couple days of settling in with the added tension of not understanding the language, which makes everything more difficult, my team was reminded of our purpose in being here after spending some time on the RUDN campus yesterday. We've been exhausted, disoriented, frazzled, and confused, but even just seeing the campus and students was helpful in renewing our energy and drive.
We found out that there's a sports complex - including skiing! - a park with trails to run in, and a lot of fun, new places to eat. (Someone told us there is some kind of place that has chocolate everything... I will report back soon on this incredible find. ha!) My favorite part, though, was meeting another new student named Nelly! She is so sweet and excited to hang out with us again. We exchanged phone numbers and hope to see her in the next couple of days. This is exactly what we prayed for!
Please continue to pray for my team as we meet with someone from the University today to schedule our classes and then get to know more students. Pray for energy, health, and boldness. And also please pray for Nelly - we can't wait to see her again!
