Thurs., March 3rd - How cold must it be?

Today was designated a "lazy day." We have been going hard and strong since we got here, and Annie and I were both very tired! I was afraid that she was getting to "run down" and that she would get sick, so we spent the day here at the hotel. We slept in, watched movies, ate leftover potato soup (yum!), and didn't even get dressed until time to go tutor Anatole. We spent an hour witha this amazing man talking about God, His will, and how He has worked in all of our lives. It was wonderful! We then decided to go for a quick shopping trip to the mall a couple blocks away. We had fun looking at all the jewelry here, but most of it is way too expensive to buy. Anyway, we laughted and had a good time! Everywhere we've gone since we arrived in Russia, the men wear really warm fur lined hats with ear flaps that fold down for when it's cold, but none of them have them folded down. How much colder than twenty BELOW zero does it have to be... lol Men are just big boys in Russia, too! Tomorrow morning we're off to see my boy, then prayer meeting, then English tutoring with Anatole! It should be a good day!
