Petersburg Trip

13 January 2005
"Morning - we made it back to Saratov here in fairly good shape. We had a good time in St. Petersburg and I'll explain a little about that. When we got to Samara, we immediately went to orientation and then went to the airport for our flight. When we got there, we got into a nice gazelle and took off for the border, after getting some food to eat. We had a cool guy that was like our guide with us. He served in Moscow not too long ago, and now he does tours of the city. Well, we got to the border, and we had to walk forever. We went through a couple of check stations and got all we needed. When we got back to Petersburg it was already 10:30 so we ate quick and then went to bed. The next day (Wednesday) I got up and we took a little tour of the city. It was a lot of fun, and I enjoyed it tons. We saw so many cool things. After that, we ate at KFC and then we went to the airport from there, we took off to Samara, and then we came to Saratov on the train. It was a long couple days, but it was fun. Petersburg is so pretty, and its just like a European city. It's very clean, and it was nice. It was a nice little vacation.

Evening - Well, I am ready to die. So McCain got transferred and right now I am with Barney and Smith. It's a lot of fun with them, and today we had conference and that was nice. The zone leader talked about setting realistic goals. It got us all ready to set good realistic goals. Well, after that I wrote home and I and all is going pretty well there. We came home and got ready for sports night. It was a lot of fun there, and we had a way good time there. Well, and I am excited to work with these elders and I think we will have a lot of fun and work hard."
