(my Russian roommate Dasha, from the Bible College dorm we are living in. There wasn't enough beds in the room for our WR girls, so I got to room with her! It was such a blessing getting to know her and gain a new friend!)

(Me and Ashley—what a blessing her friendship had been. Can't thank God enough for her!)
