This is it.
I’m leaving Thursday morning at 4:15am. I am 100% ready to be home, and 100% sad to leave.
It’s strange to think that in three weeks this will all seem like a dream filled with distant memories and good times from long ago. It’s all gone so fast, and yet it seems like I’ve been here for years. The people at the International Academy of St. Petersburg have been so good to me, and I wish them the very best in the years to come. Hopefully one day I will return and see them again. The friends I’ve made here have enriched my life greatly, and I will never forget the experiences we've shared. I thank the Lord for all of you who have made this the best year possible for me.
Now, for the folks back home, my plans for the next few weeks are as follows. I fly from St. Pete to Cologne, Germany on Thursday morning. I will stay there for 3-4 days with family friends, and then take a train to Gien, France to stay with distant relatives for two weeks. I will fly home April 28th. Thank you for you continued prayer as I part with this chapter of my life.
I look forward to seeing you soon!
God Bless
