Today marks our third week being here!! I can’t believe
how fast it is already flying by! I can’t even express in words how much I’ve
been freaking out lately about how fast life flew by this last year and how
fast my time here is going to fly! Well, I wanted to write to tell you a little
more about some of the details I left out in my last post. Well start my
weekends. Saturdays we go out and explore Moscow and or surrounding areas so we
are gone most of the day and don’t come home till later. Next we’ll talk about
Sundays and the journey it is to get to church. Let’s just say I’ve never
appreciated the closeness of our church building in Utah as much as I do now!
It takes us two hours to get church which consists of a forty min. buss ride,
an hour metro ride with two switches, and a twenty min. walk from the metro to
the building! Then when we get there we have to change out of our warm travel
clothing to Sunday apparel. It is very exhausting!! Then three hours later we
repeat the process to go home! The
worst part of all this being, we get up at six the next morning (Monday
morning) to repeat the whole process over again! I did not know, nor did any of
us, that we would be teaching at the Moscow State University of Environmental
Engineering once a week and our turn happened to fall on Monday! It to is a
two-hour journey so by Tuesday we are completely spent!! However, and once
again, I schedule is looking to be changed around in the next week and with it
I believe our day to teach at the University will get switched to Thursdays! So
here is what my schedule looks like right now…

So there you have it, my schedule. During my free time I
write my weeks worth of lessons (10 lessons) that are due every Thursday for
the next week, read, write, and whatever I feel like doing. We have also
started doing things as a group like movie night, card night and stuff like
that. It’s been way fun. However, like I mentioned before Im pretty sure some
alterations are going to be made in a week so that we teach at the university
on Thursday morning (which I will like so much better than on Monday right
after the long weekend! ) and Me and Rauni will teach Pre-K in the morning on
Mondays instead of the afternoons which is way nice cause we much more prefer
teaching in the morning! So there is a pretty good outline of my day-to-day
life!
Next I will be writing about some more adventures I have
had thus far, the food, weather, language barrier, and the guards we have
protecting the school 24/7 !!! So stay tuned!!
