What day is it?

I was just getting into a regime after Africa when the Russian officials decided to mess with the calendar again.


Last Saturday was a working day because this Thursday (yesterday) is a holiday and they wanted to have Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday be a long weekend. So we worked last Saturday instead of this Friday. Got it? Then today I went to a wedding, which was weird because it was on a Friday.


But I have to admit, I'm glad it's only Friday.


In other news, I brought back some African maracas from the artisan shop we visited in Congo, and gave them to my Russian friends.


We tried them out at worship practice.

Good times.

    I wish I could worship with you and your friends and the marracas today!
