MONDAY

HAD A GOOD DAY YESTERDAY WITH SERGEI AND HIS FAMILY IN SHEVCHENKO. WE EVEN HAD A COUPLE OF NEW LADIES COME TO JOIN US. IT WAS DELIGHTFUL AND SWEET TO WORSHIP TOGETHER WITH THEM. WE LEFT THE CAR THERE WITH SERGEI AND TODAY WE ARE GOING TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF PUTTING IT INTO LEONID'S NAME.

YESTERDAY WE WENT OVER TO VADIM'S HOUSE FOR A TIME OF FELLOWSHIP. WE HAD THE BIGGEST TIME. VADIM HAS A RABBIT FARM. NEVER SAW ONE TILL YESTERDAY. IT'S TRUE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT RABBITS, BY THE WAY. WE PLAYED, SANG, JUST HUNG AROUND AND HAD A GOOD TIME TOGETHER. THEN WE ATE. DO YOU WANT TO GUESS WHAT WE ATE?.....RABBIT. YEA, THAT'S WHY HE RAISES THEM. THEY ARE HUGE!!!!!! TASTE GOOD TOO. IT WAS GOOD FOR LEONID JUST TO HAVE SOME FUN. HE ENJOYED SHOWING OFF HIS MARTIAL ARTS SKILLS. REMEMBER THIS, HAVING FUN CANNOT BE OVERESTIMATED.

I HAD LEONID TAKE THIS PHOTO WITH HIS PHONE CAMERA (SINCE I WON'T HAVE THE CABLE FOR MINE TILL I GET TO SMOLENSK). HE EMAILED IT TO ME AND I'M SHARING IT WITH YOU

TODAY, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IT'S SUPPOSED TO SNOW A LITTLE HERE. 15 DEGREES. RARE FOR THIS REGION.

WE ARE LOOKING INTO THE POSSIBILITIES FOR GOING OVER TO DAGHESTAN TOMORROW. HOWEVER, THERE IS A SMALL WAR GOING ON THERE. SO WE WILL SEE.

I UNDERSTAND YA'LL ARE SICK AND ALL OVER THE PLACE. I'M THINKING OF AND PRAYING FOR YA'LL.

AS LUDLOW WOULD SAY. NO MATTER WHAT ELSE YOU DO TODAY, FIND SOMEBODY TO BE NICE TO.

MISSED MY LONG RUN YESTERDAY. GOTTA FIND THE TIME AND A PLACE TO RUN 8 MILES TODAY.

LOVE YA'LL. YA'LL LOVE EACH OTHER.
