May 18th, 1997 - Sunday

Hey how's it going Diary Reading fans.  We had a busy day today.  Church was from 8:30am to 2:10pm.  Well that's how long we were out of the house.  After church we ate and I took a nap.  I had a killer headache and I was just plain tired.  That was an hour and a half. 

Then we went to a беседа [besyeda - discussion] with this cool inactive family.  The father Юри [Yuri],  was really friendly.  The wife - Таля [Talya] was pretty pessimistic about things.  It sounded like she was mad at Брат Woolsey [one of my MTC teachers] for taking away Катя [Katya - Брат Woolsey's now wife] or just the fact that some of the females go to church to meet men from America.  Right now it's time to go to bed & I'm listening to the "Humpty Dance" really loud.  bye

March 4, 1997 - Tuesday

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.
