Alright so lets start this off by saying that i have to run and hide from cops now. so this is the reason. . . so live in this apartment and then we get a call that our landlord doesn't have the right documents for us to stay there, so that means i am not registered in Russia and if i get caught by the cops eh its pretty much bye bye out of the country forever. so we were told to move into another building with other elders until we find another apartment. now i know how mexicans feel in America every time the see cops, but its all about the confidence if you act like nothing is wrong then the don't look at you or stop you. so we have been staying with 2 other elders for the past week and it has been really fun. this week has been really good we set a baptismal date with a brand new investigator but come to find out he doesn't live in our area so we had to pass him to other elders. we gave another guy a BOM and he seemed really interested. then i was part of a blessing last night which was way neat to hear in Russian and be a p[art of the circle. and then we were walking back to the apartment last night and we just got out of the metro and this guy comes up and asked me about my name tag so we started talking to him and he was a really neat guy and i decided i wanted to give him a BOM so i did and that was my first BOM that i gave out on the streets to someone we just met but he seemed really interested in it. Alright now for the good stuff that happened this week. so on Monday we go a volunteer to speak English with Russians at a library, so you sit down one on one with whoever signed up to do speak with you. so we go there and you speak for 30 mins with them. First person to come speak with me was this girl. . . and then her twin sister came and sat down too. . . so we talked for an hour and got along really well and i got there numbers after. . .(not so i can call them to see how there doing but to tell them about the church :)) but they were cool and we got along really well. then there was another girl who eh it was hard to talk with her because she kinda didn't say much. then i had a guy who wanted to sell me an apartment and just was doing business. then the last girl. . . this is where it gets good. so we started talking and it was some good talking, then she was like how long have you been here? i saw two weeks, she says what have you seen, i say, only red square and she was like no!! there so much more to see, here you can come with me and i will show you around, and i just tried to change the subject, then the topic of movies came up and then she said there was an American cinema here and what not then she was like when do you have free time we can go see a movie and then i changed the subject again. then at the end of our time she asked me and my comp to come hang out with her and her friend and my comp was like no! we don't have time and cant do that. hahah its not over yet. . . so yeah go downstairs to get our coats and i was like ok i will invite her to English club. so i am going to give her a flyer and she turns to me and was like hey can i get your number and i was like oh aaaaa. . . yeah its on this flyer. and then she was like her is my number call me if you need anything like help with Russian or anything. hahaha i got asked on a date in Russia!! and i didn't even have to speak Russian :) but nope i shut her down ;) Then another good story so there are drunks everywhere here and they always fall down and cant get up.. . so we are outside a metro station and see this guy on the ground and i am laughing cuz he cant get up, then we go and help him up and pick him up ( there is a band playing outside the metro, just a little background info) so we are holding him up and then he was acting like a cat when you are trying to put the cat in water and the don't want their feet to touch. yeah he wouldn't put his feet on the ground so he is dancing to the music while we are holding him. then we set him down and he just starts dancing, this guy had some . . . .moves for a drunk man haha, then he walks over to a statue of Adam and eve and by it he just undoes his pants and starts to pee just in the open showing is whole glory to the world. but i guess that's normal here haha i thought it was way funny. so yeah that was about it for this week, we are looking for a new apartment and just making an adventure out of it. i hope everything is going great for all of you i love you all.
Love Jordan
