I watched this the other night and still thinking about it. I can't explain what I'm feeling exactly. Though a sad documentary it really touched me. I thought how can people complain and say our schools need more money? Have they seen what these kids learning with? How many times have you had to wake up afraid that 30 terrorist would come and blow up your school? I feel humble, grateful, sad, and helpless.
As most people that know me I have an unusual love and attachment to the Russian people. When I went there as a teenager I didn't realize what I was experiencing but I somehow it changed my life. I have always desired to know more about other cultures and gained a TRUE love of my country. I became more understanding. I still think about that amazing experience to this day.
My desire to someday return was obvious and even more exciting to take Jarom along the ride. So a few years back we took a cruise that stopped in Russia for two days. I cried when we got on the land. I still can't express what it is that just touches me. This place is very special. Short, sweet, and the look at the way the country is heading, probably my last trip.
When watching this documentary I cried, thanked my Heavenly Father for such a wonderful land I live in, and prayed for the people of Russia. "Father, please save these people from corruption."
