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.

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
