We went to a beach town on the Black Sea for a retreat. While there we met a fish salesman. He invited us for tea and when Dean said we need to take our kids to lunch he made us grilled fish sandwiches. We very much enjoyed the fish it is very light and tasty especially grilled. Erica however does not enjoy fish in any form and was referred to as the princess because she would not have anything to do with the food they prepared for us.

Me with some friends from my language class. Aladdin from Libya, Shema from Irag, Dilize from England.

My language class. Countries represented China, England, France, Turkmenistan, Russia, Libya, Iraq and of course the USA and Turkey(the teacher). School is definitely the best way for me to learn language I like learning with a group of people. I am currently taking a break from school. I passed all the beginner levels and well that's how I would describe myself as a beginner. It is much slower than I expected and I expected it to be slow going. It couldn't possibly be becase of homeschooling and having four young children! So I'm trying to hear from the Lord what steps He wants me to take on this journey and doing them with faith and certainty.
