Today went pretty good. We had regular church service and then we came home for a nap and [to] eat some pizza. Then we left for a[n] all Moscow conference that was at a movie theatre we had rented. Well we got there and it turned out that someone else was using it. Another church group uses it every Sunday in the morning. Well a kindergarten class had some прaзник [holiday] and the church group's first time was taken. So they either decided to just steal our time, or the director goofed or decided to screw us or something. Anyways we couldn't meet there.
So everybody went up to Водный Стадион [Water Stadium - it's where we met for large group meetings - like the Mission Conference I had the first day in Russia]. Ст. Woolverton and I stayed for a little with Сты. Whiting, Sefcik & Russel. Ст. Woolverton and I went back home to get some tickets which were our proof that we had rented the "театр." We got back and Whiting, Russel & Sefcik were still there. So Сты. Russel & Sefcik went to a D and we all went and listened to it [meaning the other church's meeting].
[The other church's meeting] was a lot like the rest of the non-denominational [churches] that I had been to. Except for some weird stuff. They stood together and put their arms around each other and started swaying back and forth as they sang. That's not even half of it though. They blessed and passed the sacrament. A woman said the prayer [for] the bread (dried blini [like crepes]) and a guy blessed the win (real). Then about 12 girls & 2 guys passed it to the audience at the same time. A member lady came in and though it was our sacrament and so she took it. She saw us sitting there and thought it was ours. I feel bad for her, nothing is going to happen to her or anything, but I'm sure she feels bad.
Then we went over to Ст. Whiting's to wait for his companion. Ст. Whiting is a funny guy. I like him. He's a cool guy and really funny. He doesn't judge either. He knows what's right and wrong and is a pretty righteous missionary without being hypocritical. It's really cool. well night.
Oh yeah - I peed out the window tonight. It's pretty cool from the 9th floor. night
