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.

January 31, 1997 - Friday
Today went pretty good. We had a Zone Conference this morning [A district is several companionships, and a zone is several districts]. It was on how to have more effective discussions. At first we were taken aside (all those in there 1 - 3 months in the country), and we had a little meeting on our parts in the discussion and how to effectively study for discussions.
Then I went on a split with Hughes - we went to the office and I picked up money and then went to the post office to mail my letters. Then we came home to my apartment. We met Woolverton & Johnson who changed and we all ate spaghetti and then they left to go to a soccer game. We [Ст. Hughes & I] were supposed to study - well we both fell asleep and then picked up a pop, and a dan cake [? no idea what I was talking about] to watch some movie. I didn't catch what it is called though. Because Ст. Jurvelein called right as it was starting and I had to go answer the phone as the movie started.
Now Ст.Woolverton is back and we are watching a different movie called "Ironclads." Just before they got back Ст. Paige called. He's a cool guy. I like him and will miss him & Barnes & Johnson pretty soon. Barnes goes home on the 12th, and Paige goes home 3 weeks later and Johnson goes out to Nizhny at transfers on the 12th also. It's a pity. well night

BLACK HOLE YEAR BEGINS
Welcome to the Black Hole Year Ст. Herrick. New Years was better than Christmas. We went over to Ст. Larsen & Woolverton's and watched movies till about 6[am], went home & slept in our own beds. Got up at 12, ate some granola and went to bed again until 3[pm].
Then I went on splits with Ст. Regan who was on splits with Johnson. [Johnson] & Barnes went to Покровский [Pokrovsky] Приход [Prehod - Branch] for something, to the Шмоков's [Shmokov's]. Regan and I went to Сты. King & Jurvelein's for movies - we watched 'Stargate.' While there Сты. Ault and Hughes came over and I went over to Hughes', who is Johnson's real comp, to spend the night. [And thus the circle is complete]
Today we are waiting for Barnes & Johnson to call so we can get back together. They aren't answering the phone. Сты. Moyle & Ashton called each once asking where they were. I told them 'Barnes' apartment' - they said they called but they weren't there. So I have no idea where my comp. is or where we will meet back up. So in the meantime I am writing letters. I resisted my problem. I don't want to at all anymore this year. That is my one New Years goal. Good night
