First Day of School

Well Sasha survived his first day of school :) When he told our friend and translator about his day, he said he had a good day. But the day didn't seem to start so good. The sweet teacher had planned a breakfast and a little party to welcome Sasha. It probably ended up being a little overwhelming with all eyes on him and everything in a different language. He got his breakfast, sat down, and he started crying. It was all I could do not to cry myself. I sat with him a little while and then I went and got Keith and Sasha's friend, Dima (who speaks Russian). We all stood in the hall together and we found out that Sasha was scared. I thought of how I would feel if I was in school in a foreign country and I couldn't understand the language, I know I would be scared and overwhelmed too.
I picked him up at 11 and he told me he had a good rest of the day. Thank you for those who prayed today. Please pray again tomorrow. Hopefully it will start off better.

love yall!
