Updates From Russia

Well the good news is Chill is alive. It was a long trip to Russia. About 19 hours on a plane and then he spent the day in Moscow. He hopped on a train and road another 18 hours to where he will be staying for the next month. He has an apartment all to himself which is nice. He has been able to call me 3 times already which I feel pretty good about. The first time he called me we talked for 2 minutes and the phone went dead. I thought for sure someone had walked by and attacked him. Ha Ha. I guess he only had 2 minutes left on the phone card he was using. He called me back 2 days later and we were able to talk about his long trip over to Russia. Chill of course is already loving being over there. He enjoys all the people he has met and says that he is doing pretty good with his Russian. That did provide 2 translators for him. Medical Students...They are 18 and 19 year old girls. Yep you read it right...GIRLS. Chill said he was going to tell them he has a really mean wife and if they try anything I'd be over there in 3 days flat. It's actually nice that he has friends already. They took him to the grocery store to help him buy groceries and they even helped him cook. Chill is already talking about going back to Russia someday. He has already started working in the hospital and has been able to watch and even help with some surgeries. He said he'll be able to do a lot while he is there so he's pretty excited about that. He seems to be getting along well with everyone. It is fun to hear from him and to hear how things work in hospitals over in Russia. Well that is the update for now. Carson and I are hanging in there. I miss Chill, but I am so glad he went. He just sounds so happy and excited to be there. This is really an opportunity of a lifetime so I couldn't hold him back.
