Well today we went to the cd reenik. Oh what a lovely place - the birds are always singing - there is always the sun in the sky. I'm now at 63 cds - up 18 from 45. I got a couple that I don't know if I'll like, but what will make great presents to my family.
My companion is keeping busy with the Area Book. [Each companionship is responsible for a geographic area and works with the members and investigators in that area to further missionary work. If missionaries were suddenly replaced then the new missionaries wouldn't know who was in the area, at what stage they were in etc. unless we kept records - ie. the Area Book.]
[Elder Schwartz]'s a good guy. We played chess twice. The first time he got me. But the second time he tried the old "4 move checkmate" thing. Well the thing is if you move your horse out and you can kill their queen after a couple of moves. He's not afraid to trade pieces though. I can see he'll be better than me someday. When he gets good at chess he'll wipe me up.

Well I f*ing suck. Always have, always will. Anyways we had a D with Евгенний and Марина today. It was alright, but not that good. I hate myself - not really, but I feel so empty right now. I will be comps with Ст. Gammon for another month. Someone up there hates me. I just feel so freaking empty. Nothing really bothers me except the fact I feel so f*ing empty.
At least I took out my $140 from home. Cool huh? I told Ст. Gammon that I would be going to the CD рынок and he said that was fine, but he would be going with and we would use up hours for our P-Day. I told him I didn't really like the idea. We will see what happens. I'm in a really rebellious mood and I don't f*ing care anymore. Ya see - so bite me ya X#&%S?!!

Well yesterday and today (Fri. and Saturday) we kind of took a vacation. We got back from service yesterday and I made granola and then we took a nap. I made corn chowder which I am eating right now and then it took me a while to get to sleep. Ст. Woolverton is pretty sick so it was also because of that. Today we got up at about 10am and ate and went to the CD reenik. I now have 45 [CDs]. 3 more and my case is filled up. I'll list them...[actually I won't because that's kind of boring]. About half of them were the "Very Best of" cool huh.

I've had terrible gas for the last couple of days. I'm wondering if it is because of the granola. Man it is so good. It tastes so good in milk. I don't think that I get enough fruit in my diet. Well I'm going to close now. night.

It's actually 1:10am on the 5th, but it's still Tuesday night. Today was Ст. Paige's last full day in the country. He leaves tomorrow - the big freak. What a lucky punk. I hurt my leg again today. I jumped an ice patch and went down. I laid there for a while, but had to leave because of everyone else kept walking.
I nabbed a lot of tapes and a CD from Ст. Paige. Also today in the Announcements was the President [Jarvis] saying that we shouldn't listen to screw music. And also if we bought any CDs at about $3 - $4, then it is probably pirated and we shouldn't get it. I haven't decided what to do yet. He didn't say not to buy any etc. but he encouraged us not to.
[Mid Post Chat- Can you believe the rationalizing going on here?? You can definitely tell that I'm in with a pretty trunky crowd still.]
I got a letter from Ст. Kindred in Rostov and he said that he was very busy and had a huge area. I also received my deodorant and a letter & pen from Gib. It's a pretty cool pen - it says "Elder Walter Dale Herrick Russia Moscow Mission" engraved on it. I also received another letter from Gib and he told me he was beat up about 2 weeks ago. Then just recently sprained his ankle and had to say in bed for 2 days. He seems pretty fired up about everything and thinks he will be a senior [companion] pretty soon. He has the language down and everything. He asked me if I was fluent yet. Hah!!
Then I got a letter from mom that says everything I heard in a fax I got two weeks ago. Kind of silly. I also got my deodorant though. I bought some here but it is only deodorant and it wears off pretty fast. She sent me some deodorant/anti-perspirant - musk scented.
Well I have three more lines to go until I can sleep [until the end of the page in my journal], and I am going to write a run-on sentence, until I end, bye.

February 8, 1997 - Saturday
Well ladies & gentlemen it is 3 days from departure for my trainer. We were with them today and yesterday. Just a little each day. Now I'm on a split with Ст. Hughes because I'm going to a play called "The Ideal Husband." It should be interesting. This last week since I wrote last we haven't done squat. P-Day we wrote letters and shopped a little. Bought a heater so the apartment has been nice & toasty. Thursday & Friday I don't remember what I did, but it wasn't proselyting.
Last night we went over to Barnes' & then to Larsen & Larson's. I lost in chess, to Paige & then to Woolverton. Tuesday night we watched "Money Train." It was pretty cool.
Today, Saturday, Reenik Day, I bought 22 cds. No Doubt, Spin Doctors, R.E.M., too [or two if you're not mixed up about English] really cool alternative discs, the Who, Bon Jovi, Joan Osborne, Cranberries, the list goes on & on. It's amazing. The new Hootie Album that I didn't even have back home. I bought Madonna's Immaculate Collection, I really don't remember the rest.
I saw this cd I really want called Smash Hits and I asked how much, but the guy that ran that part of the tent wasn't there so he didn't know how much. That sucks. That is my favorite. It has all these cool songs on there like "Turn the Beat Around." I also saw a greatest hits of her, Gloria Estefan. But I didn't buy it because it didn't have that on there. Well we are about to go to the play, so I'll talk to you later, bye.
Okay back from the play. It was pretty.....weird. It had some funny parts in it and stuff, but we couldn't follow it because we didn't understand everything. It was from Britian originally. You could tell with all of the cop uniforms and stuff. The stuff would be the British sexual humor like Benny Hill. We decided to leave at 10pm if the play didn't end because we still had to make some stew and eat. Well it got close and the finale came. You could tell that the play was about to end.
The stew took until 11:40pm and now I'm writing in my journal so it can cool down. The stew is dang good though it's like so chock full of everything. It's amazing. We, Hughes helped, made some pretty dang good stuff.
