Today we went over to a 20 year old girls house to get Ст. Woolverton's CDs back. Her name is Ira (Ира) and she lives with her mom & dad & grandma. Her grandma and her are the only members. Her grandmother's name is Ira Ida (Ира Ида). They are pretty cool. They are in the Taganski branch. She (Ира) speaks and understands English pretty good [I love it when I see myself speaking poorly - I find it hilarious]. They live outside of Moscow though. We had to get on a train and pay for tickets & then pay for the bus ride back, instead of using our единый [yedini].
[mid-journal chat - единый explanation - yedini means the one or all in one. Moscow's public transportation system is huge. With the единый you can ride all of the following except the Electrichki. It cost about 100,000 rubles(about $18 at the time).
 |
| Aftobus |
They have Автобуси (Aftoboosi - regular buses)
 |
| Tramvai |
Трамвай (Tramvai - like the trolley buses in San Fran),
 |
| Trolleibus |
Тролэйбусси (Trolaybussi - NOT like the trolley buses in San Fran - but like buses but they follow a route under electric wires),
 |
| Electrichki |
Электрички (Electrichki - usually on the outskirts of cities - Trains that run under electric wires),
 |
| Moscow Metro |
and the Метро (Metro or the subway - trains that run with the electricity coming from under the train.).
I loved traveling through Moscow. A lot of times we had to take the metro over and then a bus or tram or a taxi to the destination.]
Well it's about 9:12pm. It's after Virginia's baptism. It's a really awesome feeling to go to a baptism. Just being a part of it feels cool. I didn't really went that feeling to end. We spent a couple of hours there and now, we are home. I got in 8 hrs of proselyting today. I'm going to go to bed early tonight, because I am so tired tonight.
