Long awaited pics...

---

Hello all! I'm not going to blog today, although I have lots to say. I'll save it for another day. I know everyone has been eager to see pics and I finally have internet in my room so I can put some on. I hope you enjoy! Be sure and check out my video. It is just a small clip of Sunday School. Hopefully I'll be able to get some more on here for your enjoyment!

This is me in front of St. Basil's Cathedral at Red Square.

This is a pic of the first snow we had. It was coming down pretty hard. It has snowed several times in the last few days.

I'm sure you are wanting to know about my llving conditions...here is my dorm building. I live on floor 12.

This is my small, uncomfortable bed. But, the blanket is really warm!

This is my desk and TV stand (minus the TV). It is old and rickety but it works.

Here is my wardrobe...it's amazing what you can do without. It looks like I don't own anything! But, I have enough to last me six months!

The bathroom is pretty nice and I have lots of hot water (Thank You Jesus!) but the shower is high off the ground and difficult to get into. LOL

Also, the toilet is weird. I don't think anyone had cleaned for months before I arrived. I took this the night I arrived.

And, you must see how filthy my desk was. I used this wash cloth to clean it. Both sides are now stained.

But, I do have a nice view from my dorm room.

And, the kitchen is right across the hall.

But, look at the quality of their applicances...

I have about a ten minute (minimum) walk to the Metro. I use station Prospect Vernasko.

And, the washing machine is broken...which I didn't find out until I translated this note. So, I have to wash by hand - ugh!

Moscow, Russia
Oh, I don't want to leave out Lenin's tomb. We saw his body and he's...dead!

Here is the preacher's home (the one we go two hours one way to get to on Sunday's).

This is where I sleep. Alosha sleeps in the big bed and Amber and his wife, Natasha sleep downstairs with their daughter Daniella.

This is how you enter the upstairs room.
