Today, I'd like to share with a card I received from Ana, my "adopted" daughter from Kiev, Ukraine who has trained with me now for nearly a year. Anastasia is back home in Kiev until August and I miss her tremendously.
I'll write more tomorrow or Friday about ICTA's amazing mission trips to Lexington, Kentucky, and then to Washington DC for the LeggMason Tennis Classic! Be sure to check back for updates! Here's my Ana...
Dear Scott,
First I want to say how much I miss you. All things that I do now coming from your teaching. I want to say THANK YOU so much for all things that you taught me. It helps me now a lot.
Everyone who is around me noticed that my actions are very mature. I grew in my tennis game and in my social life, too!
I got back to Ukraine where is everything is still the same (even worse), but I see all of that in different way. Now I know how to respond with different types of people and give them a thought in their minds about Jesus after my answer or reaction.
There is so many things I want to say about what works in my life that you taught me, but it can't fit all in this little (tiny) card. This is card I want to show you a tiny part of my appreciation for all your work in my life.
I'm always thanking God for you. Because it's not only in my life you did so much work & made a difference, but in each student's life that is in ICTA.
And you doing it all from your heart!!! Having you in my life-it's a blessing!
Love you & miss you a lot! You're unbelievable.
God bless you,
Anastasia
