11/16/2010


187. It was just we needed. I am not talking about the pizza, ice cream & peanut butter sauce, apple cake or American candy- believe me that was good too- but Steve's (ILP director) visit was just the encouragement we needed to endure our last five weeks in Russia. Not only did he take time to talk to every volunteer but he was enjoyable and fun to hang out with. He reminded us of the rare opportunity to unplug from the hustle and bustle of normal life and see things from a new perspective. Finding ways to put yourself out of your comfort zone is more difficult back home because you need to search for opportunities. We're fortunate to have had this chance to challenge ourselves while learning and growing in ways we never expected.
