June 28, 1997 - Saturday

Wow - this week went pretty fast.  We had a pretty wacked D with Николай и Татьяна [Nickolai and Tatyana] on Friday.  We had it without Володия [Volodiya] and she [Татьяна] mentioned this book again called "The Gospel of Peace from Essen."  It's way false doctrine.  In there they pray to God in the name of Heavenly Father and then they pray to Mother Earth.  Also it says that you have [should] not eat meat, eggs and fish.  Well they [Николай и Татьяна] believe it is scripture.  So obviously they have a concern there.  So we will probably put off there [their] baptism for a little longer.

Well to catch you up on the rest of the week.  We played a North vs. South Gatorball match on P-Day.  The South lost in overtime.  I whined too much.  Then we came home and made lunch for Сты. Reegan and Nelson.  It was spagetti and fries.  It was pretty dang good. 

Then they left and Ст. Schwartz wanted [to go to] Арбат [Arbat] street to see it for the last time.  Well we had quite a metro ride.  We were on the metro and this hot girl got on showing off long legs and breasts in a low-cut shirt.  Well she wasn't anything compared to what we saw next.  This other hot girl got on and she sat across from us.  Well she had on a short pink dress.  So short that I would have to say that white is a good color for panties.  I was stunned, it was my first flash, well almost.  Ст. Schwartz covered his face and studied his words and I looked away.  When we looked up next time, just to see if uh, uh - what the next station was, she had covered up her indecency with her purse.  I looked her in the eye for a while.  I don't know if she did it intentionally or not.

Thursday we went and played with the kids [service at the orphanage] and then tried to find tinfoil after we got jaked by Евгения [Evgeniya].  We didn't get there in time so we went back to the reenik, on Пролетарская [Proletarskaya],  Friday - after service and in between o[u]r D with them [Николай и Татьяна].  After the D we ate and then made a whole lot of calls, mostly talking with the District Leader, Ст. Reegan.  He gave us some good ideas - have a D with the Spirit so we can tell them straight up without upsetting them, get them to pray about the existence of only one true church - ours.

Okay, so what did we do today.  We got up so freaking early and went to Речной Вокзал [River Train Station] we met up with Ваге [Vageh - by the way - I think this is the dude who kicked me in the leg while playing gatorball - when I was companions with Ст. Gammon] - if that's how you say his name and bought potatoes and onions and met up with everybody else in the metro and then got on a bus to Зелененград [Zelenongrad].  There we met our match - the rain and so many freaking mosquitoes.  We started a fire - a чудеса [miracles] in itself and cooked boyscout foil dinners.  Yep it tasted just [like] I remember - when you['re] that hungry anythings good.  Then we did a little play about the Restoration of the Priesthood and came home.  All in all it was a fun time.  After the fire started and the rain stopped it was definately better.  Not something I really want to repeat.  I whined a lot before the fire started, but then I went to work and made the dinners.  Man that new Strawberry Zuko is good.  Well night.  I'm so freaking tired.
