Dear Readers,
It's been a while since I wrote and with crazy life I would like to start writing again. A lot has happened in my life since the mission trip. Before I forget.....Dere was in the states but I was unable to see him due to his tight schedule and he returned back to Almaty. I was sad I wasn't able to see him but I hope I will soon! Keep him and his work in your prayers! I keep in touch with my sisters and brother's in Almaty. Slava, Dima, Rystam, Dasha, Tima, Nastya, Masha, Vova.....are doing well....Dasha finished her college with a travel agent diploma. I'm proud of her. She doesn't live with her alcholic mom anymore and is now with some friends. Slava and Dima live together and have a construction job. I miss being there SO much. I am planning on returning next year. :) I can't wait. This year I hope to start another project and raise money for orphanages. I'll try to post some photo's of kids that Dere sent me. :) Keep an eye out. I'll write more, but I wanted to start now...a little bit at a time.
Blessings,
Ashleigh
