So I Ventured Out...

Our landlord to our apartment asked me if I wanted to go hiking. I of course jumped at the chance to get out. This apartment is very nice...but you can only be cooped up for so long.

She took me to a local ski resort. The altitude was high and it was majorly cold. If you know me personally you know that I am a warm weather kind of girl. I couldn't help at be awed by the beauty here in Siberia. Well, I have two beautiful princesses that come from here, but the scenery is amazing.

We walked up a hill for awhile and I felt like my lung was going to burst from the cold. We walked for a little while longer and went inside the ski rental place to get warm.

We then went on a ski lift to get to the top of the hill. It stopped on the way up. I couldn't help but laugh. I just smiled and for once wasn't afraid. God has pulled me through so much already...no fear. God has this under control...

When we got to the top I took some pictures. I am sort of afraid of heights, especially when I don't have something under my behind, but it was so amazingly beautiful I had to take pictures anyways.

After hiking on a trail and getting tea to get warm, we went back down the ski lift and went back to the apartment. I wanted to get Borscht, but the bistro is closed. So maybe I will do that tomorrow. I think I will call my missionary friends and see what they are up to tomorrow or the next day. I get to see Bella in the morning. I might get to see where she has slept her whole life. That to me is going to be very important. My girls life here is something I never want to forget.
