Man neither Алла or Евгенний [Alla or Yevgenni] came to church today but the meeting was really good. It was fast and testimony meeting and Сестра Вера [Sister Vera] - "the glue in the bob corner" as Ст. Sefcik likes to say. Ст. Russel and Pres. Карнеев [Karneyev] bore their testimonies. It was really good. So did the "слава тебе" [glory to you] lady. Then I went off with the young men. They kept beating each other. I felt like whacking them also. Ст. King picked on Влад [Vlad] for a little bit. That wasn't very cool.
I have a really good idea for an activity from Ст. Gammon. If everything goes as planned, I will have the young men clean Васили Гарбунов's and Геннади Тен's [Vasili Garbunov's and Gennadi Ten's] cars for a service project. In secret, then we will go eat Dunkin' Donuts and hot chocolate. It should be fun.
[Post journal chat - You know, I don't remember if we actually did anything like this for a service project. I hope we did - it sounds like fun. Maybe later in my journal we'll hear about it. Check out the Location that I saved it on. When you go close enough, you can see the building we lived in and which end of the building. Pretty sweet.]

October 2, 1996 - Wednesday
Today, like usual, I got up at 6:46am and took a shower. Then I made up Elder Parks' bed while he was taking a shower. It made me feel good. And I hope it makes me love him more. I can feel it starting to work.
I have memorized another half of a paragraph from the Ds [Discussions written in Russian] - it's hard though. We never have enough time. Well - by for now.
It's just after supper. Michelle Merithew wrote. Yahoo. Whew. I just [got] back from the evening class. I feel like I just suck. I'm feeling pretty bad. I feel like Moses. Earlier today I was feeling really good and in the last class I felt the Spirit so strongly. But afterwards I really didn't. It's like the Spirit left me when I was trying to teach the 1st principle of the 2nd Discussion. I floundered and really disliked it. Intensely. I went after Elder Parks and I felt like he did so good and I compared myself to him and the Spirit departed.
So what I learned from today is not to be contentious. And not to compare myself to other people. But that is really hard to do [or not to do - as the case may be]. I don't understand why we can't have the Spirit with us always. Is it because we are not suppose to or is it because I have done something wrong?
I'm feeling better now. It's like I just have to get it off of my chest or Satan can only tempt or discourage me for so long and that's all? Well it's bedtime. night
