I had a full day yesterday. I went on two splits. First I went on a split with Ст. Sefcik, we went out to the обж. and were going to give Малу [Malout] the 3rd, but no one was going to let us in. Then one of the bosses let us in and we went up to Арман & Вержиния's [Arman & Virginia's] apartment but they weren't there. No one. I knew Вержиния wouldn't be there because she was at the office having an interview with Pres. Jarvis.
So I heard noise next door and I knocked (at Алисия's) [Alicia & Jarom's] and Steven answered and got Арман. He forgot we had a D with Малу and maybe even forgot to tell him. But he went and got Малу and we read Alma 32 with him because Арман had to babysit the kids in the other apartment and he couldn't be there to translate so it was basically worthless. Oh well.
Then we met at Park Culturiy and dropped Sefcik off and picked up Ст. Josh King. We went to English Class because no one else was going to be able to make it. After that we waited forever at Парк Културый [Park Culturiy] for Сты. Gammon & Morris. It was 9:30pm almost when they finally came. We got home, ate some cheese & ham sandwiches and went to bed. Ст. Gammon slept in today because he feels like crap. He caught my cold. Yesterday I just felt like crap. I felt like all day I didn't do anything at all of worth. I felt like I didn't be myself at English and I didn't help anybody etc. Oh well.
OK its now 9:30pm at night. We just had a D with a member who moved from Южнозамоскворецкий Приход [Yuzhnozamoskvaretzky Branch]. She is now, I would dare say a JW [Jehovah's Witness]. I think she planned to have a JW there with us but I guess the JW couldn't make it, which is alright with me. At one point I thought my companion was going to get mad at her. She was nice enough at first, but then she started spouting the same stuff the JWs spout - according to Ст. Gammon. I don't know because I haven't listened to them here [in Russia]. It just makes me glad I have a testimony and I know what is true. well night.

March 9, 1997 - Sunday
Today went pretty good. We had regular church service and then we came home for a nap and [to] eat some pizza. Then we left for a[n] all Moscow conference that was at a movie theatre we had rented. Well we got there and it turned out that someone else was using it. Another church group uses it every Sunday in the morning. Well a kindergarten class had some прaзник [holiday] and the church group's first time was taken. So they either decided to just steal our time, or the director goofed or decided to screw us or something. Anyways we couldn't meet there.
So everybody went up to Водный Стадион [Water Stadium - it's where we met for large group meetings - like the Mission Conference I had the first day in Russia]. Ст. Woolverton and I stayed for a little with Сты. Whiting, Sefcik & Russel. Ст. Woolverton and I went back home to get some tickets which were our proof that we had rented the "театр." We got back and Whiting, Russel & Sefcik were still there. So Сты. Russel & Sefcik went to a D and we all went and listened to it [meaning the other church's meeting].
[The other church's meeting] was a lot like the rest of the non-denominational [churches] that I had been to. Except for some weird stuff. They stood together and put their arms around each other and started swaying back and forth as they sang. That's not even half of it though. They blessed and passed the sacrament. A woman said the prayer [for] the bread (dried blini [like crepes]) and a guy blessed the win (real). Then about 12 girls & 2 guys passed it to the audience at the same time. A member lady came in and though it was our sacrament and so she took it. She saw us sitting there and thought it was ours. I feel bad for her, nothing is going to happen to her or anything, but I'm sure she feels bad.
Then we went over to Ст. Whiting's to wait for his companion. Ст. Whiting is a funny guy. I like him. He's a cool guy and really funny. He doesn't judge either. He knows what's right and wrong and is a pretty righteous missionary without being hypocritical. It's really cool. well night.
Oh yeah - I peed out the window tonight. It's pretty cool from the 9th floor. night
