What did Dorthy say when she landed in Oz?

I can't remember that line - something like "we're not in Kansas anymore." Well, I'm definitely not in Ukraine anymore. It's so different here. There are mountains, there are lots of diverse faces all around me, there is extremely crowed public transportation, there is HOT weather, there is amazing food and there are tons of people who don't know about Jesus. SO far the transition here has been good. I hit the ground running and have been involved in kid's ministry, worship and a Bible study at a women's rehab center for former prostitutes. We've also been hit with various colds and German measles (Melanie's boys). It's good to lift one another up in prayer. I need it and my need for it reminds me to pray for you! Oh, I'm taking Kyrgyz lessons too. I can't believe how long the words are here! Singing Kyrgyz songs at church is quite a challenge at this point.
Well, I'll try to post a little video of the local mosque here. This is about a 10 minute walk from my apartment.
