Well, yesterday was the start of a two week no hot water time. Galina, my Babushka/Xoezyauka (Grandma/Landlady), informed me that this was to be. She told me we're lucky that it's only two weeks, last year it was three! I am greatful it's not three weeks. When she first told me, my thought was 'why didn't you pay the gas bill?' but I'm glad I didn't ask that. She was surprised to find out that this doesn't happen in America. She told me that it's because they clean the pipes and such. I guess at differently times, it happens all over Russia. To think that they clean the pipes once a year, yet they have no clean water to drink from the tap...weird, I don't get it.
I had an interview today for an English teaching position. I'll find out more tomorrow if I get it, but basically, just as I suspected, it was one of the least stressful interviews ever. The most stressful part was getting there...the girl from the university that was supposed to escort me there took us in a complete circle, and we weren't even in the right area to begin with...but I got there, and Nathan and I (one of the interns from BYU) "interviewed" together. It pays decently, so it would be nice to get a few dollars COMING my way while I'm gone for the summer, instead of just spending all of it. Hooray for prayers being answered!

You're very resourceful! So would you be teaching English to Russian, Finnish, or Chinese speakers? And where would this be at, through whom, and how (what materials?)
p.s. how's the Russian? :)
love, Mom
Cool! Keep us updated.
