Last year, I taught at the village school in the morning and the Tomsk Central Church in the evenings. This year we taught at the school in the morning and afternoon and then headed out to an orphanage to teach in the evening. My students were mostly familiar faces from last year but there were some new additions (From left to right: Tanya, Tanya, Me, Yulia, Alla, Sonya, and Alex). I taught the 10th grade students who have just one year of school left before heading off to university (in Russia there are only 11 grades, not 12 like in the U.S.). I am proud to say that the girls I taught last year had made great strides in their English studies and it made the classes an incredibly enjoyable experience. They are all such talented, funny, and interesting individuals with big dreams for their future. However, like most teenagers, there mind is on their earthly future and not their eternal future and they weigh heavy on my heart.
