Glad your trip was safe and you returned with nothing less than jet lag. My sister went on church mission to Russia a few years ago and came back a changed person. She, like you, was AMAZED at the living conditions the people endure. Some in this country would like us to believe the "poor" here are in such, squalid, horrible conidtions. The reality is the "poor" here are better off than the the middle class in Russia and other "developed" nations around the globe.

My sister was was most astonished by the little things that we take for granted that the Russian people lived without, ie: toilet paper. They had NONE!! She went three weeks without it too. Can you imagine? It moved her so that she actually sent one of those giant 24 packs of TP to each of the host families that she stayed with.

Count your blessing folks, for God has surely blessed America!!
