June 15, 1997 - Sunday (about Sat really)

Yesterday [Saturday June 14, 1997] was pretty fun.  We had a празник [holiday] for the 150 yr anniversary of the pioneers' trek across the U.S.  We met at the opening of Измайловский парк and we walked through it to a lake in the middle.  Then we had a couple of talks by some church members and on by През. Jarvis [Pres.].  Then I waited in line forever for a hot dog that basically sucked.  Then everybody played soccer or volleyball.  I played volleyball.  My team - all guys one [won] 3 in a row and we were so tired that we kind of let the 4th one go.  It was just so hot. 

I had the handkerchief Mike [Herrick - my brother] gave me wrapped around my neck so I wouldn't get a bad sunburn.  Well I kind of forgot about my face.  It's not too bad.  Just a little red, but my face will definitely be darker.  I have a pretty good tan now. 

June 6, 1997 - Friday

Today went pretty good.  We had a picnic at Коломенская парк [Kolomenskaya park].  It was pretty.  It was pretty much a missionary party.  But oh well, we had 3 members and hopefully it strengthened them. 

Then as we walked back to the metro these two attractive women stopped Дима [Dima] (a member) and I because we were speaking English.  They want to come to our English class.  I was wrighting [yes - that is how I spelled it.  Of course I meant "writing," but as skill in one language increases, a lessening occurs in another...so writing] down where and stuff and one girl was standing really close to me on a curb and pressing her tits against my shoulder.  It was pretty unerving [yeah mispelled that as well].  As we walked past they said "mmhm" twice and then said "excuse me" when we were really past them, but I stopped and they talked with us for awhile.  They were dangerously attractive.  Well I'll see. 

Then we also met this stud named Дима [same name, different guy] who speaks English and might be our investigator.  He lives on Орехово and is a stud.
