March 8, 1997 - Saturday

Well yesterday and today (Fri. and Saturday) we kind of took a vacation.  We got back from service yesterday and I made granola and then we took a nap.  I made corn chowder which I am eating right now and then it took me a while to get to sleep.  Ст. Woolverton is pretty sick so it was also because of that.  Today we got up at about 10am and ate and went to the CD reenik.  I now have 45 [CDs].  3 more and my case is filled up.  I'll list them...[actually I won't because that's kind of boring].  About half of them were the "Very Best of" cool huh.

 This morning I also jogged in place for about 10 minutes.  Meryl Huff came with us.  She's only 16, but cool.  Right now I'm listening to my "The Best Rap Album Ever:  volume 2"  It's pretty good.  My Blur CD is okay.  I like the Rap albums better.  They have so much cool stuff on them. 

I've had terrible gas for the last couple of days.  I'm wondering if it is because of the granola.  Man it is so good.  It tastes so good in milk.  I don't think that I get enough fruit in my diet.  Well I'm going to close now.  night.

September 18, 1996 - Wednesday

Well today didn't go too well.  In the first class we went down and had blood drawn for aids testing [No that is not the "didn't go too well" part].  It was really fun.  We all sat around waiting and our teacher came down with the rest of our class to get our blood drawn.  So we just sat there talking about Russia a little bit and about whatever we wanted.  But is was so funny.  Earlier that day in class one of the Sisters in the class, Sister Bishop, left to go to a meeting.  She got back when we were at the Health Center.  Then we went to lunch at an earlier hour to miss all the newbies on Wednesday.

When we got back from lunch we sat down to study, like we would have before lunch and Sister Bishop had another meeting.  So we studied for an hour then went to Gym.  Played basketball etc.  Well we went back to class at 3pm and at about 4 or so Sister Jensen [Sister Bishop's companion] came back and started to tell us that Sister Bishop is leaving.  She couldn't continue because she was crying.  Then a girl from another class came in and told us that she [Sister Jensen] was changing districts but that she would still be in our class.  She would have to move into their room and become a threesome like us [Kindred, Parks & I].  She doesn't know why she left only that she might come back.  But if she came back it would be in a couple of months.  I liked Sister Bishop - she was good natured and she was always striving to get herself and all of us speaking Russian. 

Then I got sick.  I have diarrhea and a runny nose and a huge headache.  Plus I have extremely bad gas tonight.  That might be because I ran out of Superstrength 120 miligram pills of gas relief and started taking 80mg chewable gas relief.  I wrote home to my parents and they still haven't written me back.  It's been a freaking weak.  Where the heck are my letters.  I've mailed out 11 altogether.  Some were to Gib and I don't think they will get here for quite a while.  But everybody else should have their letters.  Well tomorrow I'll probably get them.  night

September 14, 1996 - Saturday

Well today was kind of long.  We sat through all the classes.  I didn't have very bad gas, but I did a little in the evening.  My Phazyme is running out.  I have to write my parents and have them send me more.  I learned that you are not suppose to write home on any day but our P-Day.  Our teacher said we could write this Sunday so I am going to. 

Tomorrow we start SYLing [Speak Your Language].  We have to speak in our language all the time whatever we know.  Then we have to ask persmission to speak in English as a last resort. 

Tonight I am going to pray and ask Heavenly Father if Joseph Smith is a true prophet.  I have before, but not really spiritually.  I've always believed he was, but I need to know so that I can share that knowledge with other people.  I love him for the Book of Mormon and his words in the "Teachings of Jospeh Smith" are so powerful and inspiring.  So I need to have my testimony of Joseph Smith strengthened tonight.  I'll tell you how it went.  walt
