I apologize for not posting this sooner. Our last, last day was filled with going to the mountains Medeu. It was freezing cold! My good friend went with us, Dasha. There at Medeu is the biggest ice skating rink. It's huge! The mountains were beautiful with smokey feel to it. Sadly, that summer they had a huge snow storm, which is very uncommon for Almaty to have. It destroyed many trees and left them piles all along the mountains. Workers there were camping out clearing thousands of trees by hand. They didn't have any big equipment like us. They roll the logs. Hard work!
We had shushlick which is a delicacy, don't worry it's comes in chicken too. It's comes on a stick, very well seasoned. I tried something new, duck. To my surprise it taste good. I don't know if I like it if it was prepared another way though. It was a good last day. We had a wonderful time in Almaty. I was reminded of several things. You represent Christ wherever you go and are. Where God has you, that's where you are to serve. You don't have to go to the other side of the world to minister to people in need. There are people all around you, everyday who need encouragement and Christ in their lives. Sometimes I forget, because we have so much here, and are so blessed. Also, I felt thankful, so so thankful for everything God has given me, for every little thing.
