Had a cool D with the Басовы (Basovwi). Today is so awesome day [what?]. First yesterday Пьер (Pierre) had his interview with President Jarvis and everything will go forward for the 11th of May. That is so awesome. It was [a] pretty busy day for us yesterday. We went signboarding in the park and I didn't like it as much. Then we dropped off a degree of specifications by Брат Локшин [Brother Lokshin]. When we got home I called Ири Магалевский [Yuri Magalevski - I'm not too sure about the last name] because we had a book he wanted called Наше Наследия, Our Heritage. Well he invited us over right then to give it to him. Well we went over and talked to him until 10:30pm - then went to bed.
Well today I was on splits with Ст. Shwartz. He's a pretty funny guy. We went signboarding and then we had a huge lunch. Tacos. It was 2 hours though. Then we went signboarding again down on the metro by Юго-запедная [Yugo-Zapednaya or South-West] and I talked to two really cool people. One walked around after we talked and read the BOM [Book of Mormon]. Okay, then we left there and went to Алла's [Alla's]. It was so rad. The Spirit was really strong and I thought I spoke really good. It was because the Spirit was there so strong. She opened with prayer and I could just immediately feel the Spirit. We read the D's but she was really patient and she kept trying to feed us soup or to warm up our чай - which might have been real. We committed her to baptism. So we scheduled her to be baptized on the 9th of June. Then we came home and I called Евгений [Yevgenii] for tomorrow. Well it's late so we'll go to bed.

April 21, 1997 - Monday
Well Sunday has come and gone and I'm still here. I had a dream last night that I was getting off my mission and Ст. Woolverton was still stuck here for 10 days or something. Then I woke and felt "Crap I'm still here". Also Gilbert wasn't to be found when I got home. It was weird.
Yesterday we left at 8:30am, walked up to Евгений's [Yevgeniy's] house and together - the whole family, stroller & kids to Калужская [Kaluzhskaya], where we caught a trolley bus to Конково [Konkovo] and walked to the помашения [Pomasheniya - meeting house]. Well we walked in the door and the lady at the front desk started yelling at him not to bring in the stroller. Said something about not needing kids here in the building. So he left and went back home.
We talked with her for a while and just asked her why she didn't want the kids here - explained to her that our church believe[s] that families are the most important part of the plan. So we ran back to Евгений, but he went home anyway. He said he couldn't sit there in church and enjoy the meeting because he'd be thinking of that dumb (my word) lady. Ст. Gammon said he felt like crying. I felt like hitting her or something. Nothing real violent but I felt pretty mad.
We also had a meeting last night with Слава Балтовский [Slava Baltovski ]. He's a stud. He's the branch mission coordinator. We went over our investigators and then we had a letter, that Ст. Gammon wrote, for Слава to proofread. Then we took the letter and a cake to Евгений & Марина [Marina]. They seemed really delighted to see us and they - Евгений gave us this little book about...a против Книга Мормона [Anti Book of Mormon] actually. It has a lot of American books as it's bibliography, like "Have you witnessed to a Mormon lately?"
8:30pm - just went signboarding - it was so cool. I got three phone numbers and I didn't have any fear to talk to anybody. Then I just called Алла [Alla] and she talked my ear off. I also called Людмила [Ludmila] and she did the same. [Alla & Ludmilla must have been members in the ward].

I just said something funny. I was reading my Russian plaque from my sister & it says "They that trust in the Lord shall mount up on wings of eagles and run & not faint." Well I said [out loud to Ст. Gammon] "they that mount up on ings of weagles." Then Ст. Gammon said "I wanna wide the weagle!!" We [were] both busting out laughing and I almost peed my pants! Yesterday we spent most of the whole day working. That is the first Sunday I've done that. Right now I am writing a lesson for a discussion with Eric. I made my first phone calls today. I called my home teachee and my home teaching companion. They both told me to call them back. It was cool. Well cool when I finally got it done.
We had service today and we always have this old lady that is almost deaf. She is so funny, and cute. It's cool! I can't help but love all old people. We are going to have a butt load of work this next week. The exciting things are that Eric and Arealy are getting ready to get baptized, they have moved into an apartment with two separate beds so they can live the law of chastity. That is so awesome. Well night. My cold is almost over. It feels better today but isn't quite over.
