Dancing in the Streets

After the bookstore, we went to a youth activity at the church--Brain Ring--a scripture/Church history competition. I saw Artyom and Edic from Ulyanovsk! They both live in Moscow now. Also ran into Kolya (son of the family I'm staying with) there and then again when some of us went to Grabli for dinner. He is hilarious! He served his mission in England, and was doing the English accent and everything at dinner.

After dinner, a group of us took off for museum night in Moscow--apparently on Saturday nights the museums are free! Everyone else seems to know this unfortunately, and so the line was huge. We decided to pass it up this time and started walking towards red square. These two guys were playing guitars and singing U2, so we stopped to listen and sing along.

After a couple songs, I turned to Eli and asked if he knew how to swing dance. He said he did a little, so I taught him a couple of lifts--so much fun! People were clapping and taking pictures. I love this place! I taught him the piggy back one and the one where you do a flip through their legs. Acia even caught the lessons on camera.

Then it was off to see if we could get in to EuroVision (we couldn't) and wandering around Moscow. We took a lot of pictures. It is so beautiful by Red Square at night! There was a picture of a girl advertising lip stick in one of the stores that everyone decided I look like--I don't see it, but funny nonetheless. The best was them trying to convince me to make a face like hers--didn't quite work out somehow lol
