I'm in Boston visiting John Holwick and Rachel Pollock. Last night we sat around with a few of Rachel's friends and discussed our futures. It was really fun to find myself in an environment where missions is seen as a negative.

I'm constantly surrounded by missions supporters - so to be with people to whom I had to defend my very way of life was a good change. I need to remember that when I am in Russia most Russians will not be too keen on the idea of an Ugly American coming over to "fix" them. I needed this intermediary place to remember why I am in missions and to know that I can defend what I want to do.

I'm so excited to go and explore the city today!
