Back to Ufa

Well, it wasn't quite as exciting this time as the last time I went. I hung out with my friends again. Visited one less active family from my mission, but mostly just hung out. I watched one classic Russian movie and one movie in English- A Beautiful Mind. The fact that I hadn't seen it before combined with the enjoyment of watching something in english made for a great impression of the movie. My friend Albina and I did some shopping. I bought a nice "short" jean skirt, looks good with my tan boots.
I went out to Neftakomsk to visit Pasha again and almost got stuck there. Because of the holidays all of the buses back to Ufa were full! Not a single spot available! We had to pay 700 rubles to take a taxi for the 3 hour drive back to Ufa! At least I got to go to church and was able to get some homework done in the train station.
I was sad to leave, but unlike the end of my mission, I felt pretty hopeful that I'll be able to continue to do some work in Russia. And that this won't be the last time that I get to see my friends there.
The power is out at work right now, so I came to the internet cafe instead. I went right to work this morning from the train.
I WISH that someone would write me and tell me if Sara had her baby yet or not!!! Please!? I am feeling very out of the loop.
