We have had the great pleasure of staying with childhood friends of Dave these past nine days in Chicago. It has been great fun watching Dave interact with his friends and meet friends’ parents who have invested in his life for so many years. (Below, us with Jeff and Lilly Ware)
One former mentor we have spent some time with is a Spanish teacher from Dave’s high school, Jeff Ware. Jeff continues to be a ceaseless encouragement and spiritual mentor to Dave. Jeff made it possible for us to talk with three different Russian language classes on Friday. Many of the students were born in the U.S. to Russian parents or have moved to the U.S. as recent as three months ago. We had the opportunity to share with the students why and what we will be doing in Moscow. We also talked about being learners of other cultures and the cultural adjustment cycle that people often experience when living in a new culture. The students can, read, write and type in Russian.
