My younger sister Bethany has been in Russia for the past four months. She went there to teach the Russian children English, with the program ILP (International Language Program) She did an amazing job over there and had so much fun. I always looked forward to hearing from her and hearing the new, funny, and exciting stories she would tell. I am so happy that she is finally home! It was a long four months without my best friend. I can't wait for Sunday. She will be cooking the family an authentic Russian dinner and is going to tell us all about her trip. I am very excited to hear all of her stories.

It's amazing to think of the long history of that place. The pictures of those buildings are beautiful and wow...they're so old and timeless looking.
