It�s snowing again, everything is so calm and so beautiful and again I took heaps of pictures this morning on my way to work. As I stare out the window right now the snowflakes are so pretty! Strangely on the CNN weather forecast on Tele they only mention the snow up to Turkey and eastern Turkey, then get into Asia. They have not once mentioned Armenia the whole time that I�ve watched the news.

I went to Sourp Katoghige yesterday for Bible reading with the kids where we read passages from Matthew (Jesus Christ is Born) in English and translated to Armenian. The kids are so cute, the age�s range from 7 to 17 and we use the warmth of Der Avedis� office. One of the students told me after class that on the days that she sees me, even from a distance, (she lives in the same block where my office is located) she has a successful and productive day. What can one say to such a comment? This is precisely what I mean about the special feeling one can experience in Armenia!

By the way I made a boo boo, the closing date for AVC applications is March the 1st. And Ara, I�m glad you too experienced that warm and fuzzy feeling.
