Elder Muir

This week I went on exchanges with Elder Muir here are some of the things that we did:

Game night at the church, it was lots of fun.

We also tracked a building and we started to talk to a babushka in the lift. She was a neighbor of a member. Anyways when we got off the lift she ran to the member’s door and rang the doorbell and then she ran into her house. We didn’t want to go to the members since we were trying to find people to teach.  Anyway the member remembered me from last year when I was on exchanges in her area she thought that I had already gone home. I knew her son; he is on a mission right now in the Moscow West mission she was way excited to see me. I wasn’t wearing a sweater and she asked me if I was cold. I told her a little but that I would be fine. Long story short I ended up leaving that apartment wearing a red sweater. She wouldn’t let me leave without putting it on. It was nice to have since I was on exchanges I didn’t have my sweater with me and it has started to get cold here.

The next morning was the helping hands day. It was combined with the other branch in that area; it was actually the branch from my first area. It was neat to see so many old familiar faces and now I was actually able  to talk with them!   I saw Sergei and his family. He is doing great and is as strong as ever. It made me really happy to see him. For our helping hands project we just picked up trash along the railroad, it was really dirty.
