Home Teaching


Meet Galina Niktyenkova, a lady we go home teaching too. We have two we visit together and then Max is assigned two other men he visits with someone else. She has a small apartment but it is very nice. She use to live there with her son, his wife, and two children but they moved to Moscow last summer where he has a business selling computers. Her "former husband" as she call him went to America on a visit and never returned. She is a very nice lady and speaks a little English--enough that we could visit. We can only visit one person a night as it takes us three hours by the time we walk to the bus, ride the bus, walk to her house, visit for about 40 minutes, walk back to bus, ride bus, and then walk to our apartment. Have a made you tired yet? It makes us tired and we are always glad to get out of the weather and back to our apartment.

So Max you are getting your exercise . . . thank goodness you are not running from people yet! haha
It's nice to be able to see how you guys are doing. You are missed in Spinning Class though.
We were very sad to hear about your brother. Hope you are doing ok.

Sometimes I complain about going visiting teaching and the lady only lives a few blocks away! I should be grateful for what I have!
