Coming to an end....

Well, we are finished with training!  I'm sorry I haven't updated in a few days, but I do not have computer access.  A friend of mine, Tess, is nice enough to let me use hers!  
As for access in Russia..... we don't know.   But I CANNOT write a lot of details about what we are doing.  All phone calls in and out of the country are recorded.  All phone conversations are shut off after 45 minutes (because that is how long the government tapes are!).  All email and web activity is monitored.  So we are literally living in a fishbowl.  Pray for us!
Today we went to Santa Monica and played football and volleyball on the beach.   How many people get to do THAT!  The weather was amazing and we strolled around the promenade.  On the way back, a Pasadena policeman pulled out in front of me and we nearly collided.  I laid on my horn.  I just KNEW it was gonna get ugly.  And it wasn't even my car!  But everything turned out fine.  Tonight we went back to eat at Pita Pita - the Lebanese restaurant - again, haha.  Guess if we like something, we stick with it!  (I'm getting used to driving 80 mph on the California freeways)
This morning we had a worship service and commissioning for the various groups.  It was so touching and moving.  We are ready to hit the mission field!  Tomorrow we will be finalizing things around California, and leaving Tuesday morning.  So I can still talk/text until then.  But after that, my phone is shut off until 2nd week of August.  
I will try to post more later (hoping I have computer access).
Thank you so much and love you all!

Love in Christ, 
Kim
