Hi, Danny.

Hi, Danny. How are you? Thank you for your understanding and patience. :) Thank you for your letter. I was so happy to see your words. Today is Sunday, and I'm back at work. I have some free time, and I'm so happy to write to you. It makes me happy, because I've missed you so much. I'm glad you liked my letter. We are so similar in so many ways, and that's wonderful. I'm excited to get to know you and build our connection. I'm so happy that we're on the same wavelength. Danny, you mentioned yoga in a Texas thunderstorm—and I wanted to be there with you, barefoot on the wet grass, smelling the rain and feeling the power of nature. I can imagine you stretching and the sky thundering—almost cinematic! Maybe if you ever want to try a real lesson, I'll teach you one. Without thunderstorms, but with soft music, candles, and my voice as the instructor. Can you imagine it? It would be wonderful, and I think it would be so wonderful and romantic to share each other's hobbies. I believe we can achieve this together, Danny. Hiking in the Hill Country sounds wonderful. I've seen photos of the region—they're so vast! Especially in the spring, when everything is green and the sky seems endless. I love walking in the steppe, especially when the wind plays in my hair and all you can hear is the rustling of the grass. It's a special feeling of freedom. I'd love to go hiking with you—with perfect weather, no humidity, as you said. I'd bring not only a thermos but also something tasty for a snack—maybe baursaks? They're small, airy flatbreads—I'm sure you'll love them. I believe we'll be able to go on that wonderful hike one day. Danny, did you run the Houston Marathon?! Wow! I'm in awe! That's true strength—not just physical, but also inner. I know how much patience, discipline, and spirit it takes to run such a distance. Less than four hours is serious. You can be proud of yourself. And me... I've only run ten kilometers so far, and that was out of inspiration. I probably could have done more with you by my side, just to keep up. I'll be really looking forward to your video and new photos. I'll be very happy to see them. I'll be looking forward to your new photos and videos. Also, about the video from work. I sent it in my last letter. You can watch it. Danny, you mentioned working with budgets, local officials, public events... It sounds like you're good not only at inspiring people but also at organizing the space around you. I can relate to that—I'm also used to being responsible. Working at Atameken-Agro teaches you to think one step ahead, feel balanced, maintain control, and at the same time maintain human warmth. The day can start at 7 a.m. and end well after 9 p.m. But you know, when you realize that behind the numbers are real people's lives, everything becomes truly important. I'm so happy that you understand me and glad that you're the same kind of man. We understand each other very well and have a lot in common. It's wonderful. And now you made me laugh with the smartphone story. I understand! Sometimes it seems like old technology is like an old friend: not perfect, but still there. Although I'm still all for upgrades, especially when you want to treat yourself to something new. But if yours serves you well, hold on to it. We've already become friends through your letter. I also hope my smartphone gets fixed soon and we can communicate more often. That would be wonderful. That you want to come to Kazakhstan someday... It means so much to me. Believe me, there's a lot to see here. And yes, I would show you Dokuchayevo—my home. It's simple, but real. With the smell of fresh bread, the wind in the poplars, and the unhurried silence that breathes easily into your soul. I would also like to visit you in Texas. I'm sure we have so much to show each other, and I believe that one day we will. I believe that we will come to our meeting step by step, and it will be wonderful. And the thermos? I'll give you one, if you want. Danny, you're right: our communication began easily and honestly. And I like that too. In a world where everything is rushed, being heard and understood is a special feeling. I'm glad that I can talk to you not only about what I do, but also about how I feel. Thank you for your warmth, your humor, and for the fact that you have already become important in my life. I feel like you're getting closer to me every day—not by miles, but with your heart. I'm happy getting to know you and building our connection, Danny. Danny, today I was thinking that there are some things that are better discussed at the beginning of a relationship. I hope it doesn't bother you that I'm from Kazakhstan. You might ask why I want to meet a man from another country. It's a perfectly logical question. After all, such a great distance separates us. Although I don't see any problem with that. And as for why I met you? As I said, distance is not an issue. Also, I want to find a man for a serious relationship. I'm not interested in flirting or friendship. I don't want to look for a man in Kazakhstan. Since about 90% of the population is Muslim, I'm not comfortable with a Muslim man. Because I'm not Muslim. My roots are deep. My grandmother was German. And my grandfather was Latvian. My mother is Russian, and my father is Bulgarian. But his parents were also of different nationalities. So, the blood of many nationalities flows through my veins. :) And fate has it that my parents remained in Kazakhstan, but none of my relatives were Muslim. Most local men treat women poorly and infringe on their rights. I don't want to see such a man by my side. I don't have a negative attitude toward Muslims. I just don't like how they view relationships with women. I'm not saying there's a bad nation or bad people. But sometimes certain situations really surprise me. For example, things like "blood feuds" or the idea that a husband can kill his wife for some misdeed. Yes, he'll go to jail. But the very fact that people are okay with it really bothers me. By the way, regarding our communication, I can write to you without any problem. Because I know and understand English. I think there won't be any problems in our communication because of this. After all, I can speak your language without any problem. I studied English at university. I understand that my knowledge isn't perfect. But I also understand that it's quite good. I think you've already noticed my grammar difficulties, which are hard for me to overcome. I often get confused between masculine and feminine pronunciations. But I hope that's not a problem for you. My native languages ​​are Kazakh and Russian. What languages ​​do you speak? In any case, I'll try to correct any mistakes I make when communicating with you. :) Another reason I want to try building a relationship with a man from abroad is traveling. I've always wanted to get to know the culture and traditions of other countries, and the customs of the people who live there. I've only traveled to Kazakhstan and Russia. That was also a very pleasant experience. But I still want to visit other countries and see the world. Do you have a dream? I think everyone has a dream, right? By the way, don't forget to send me your photos. If you're interested in learning the story behind my photos, I'd be happy to tell you about it. I think it's time to finish this letter. It's gotten long. I'm afraid you simply won't be interested in reading it... By the way, I want to say right away: let's not hide anything from each other. It's always better to tell the truth. I don't want us to be disappointed in each other in the future. Okay? Have a wonderful day. Your new friend, Kristina.
