Registration

12 November 2005
"Today went pretty well and we had a good time. It was a ton of fun and well, it was interesting. I found out what a pain it is to get registered here in this city. We went this morning to do it, and it was really bad. We go there and then we sat around for about an hour while we waited for the opportunity to get in the room and sign some paper. It was pretty crazy. We then left and then we went and waited while the registrator took our passports and did something that she needed to with them. We came home, ate, and then we went to sports time. That turned out really well, and enjoyed it. We played b-ball by the big рынок here, and it was way sweet.

I then had a fairly interesting experience of meeting with the Хозяйка of an apartment. Well, it was a long meeting, and none of us felt right about renting the place, but we agreed to meet tomorrow and to sign the contract. In the end, we called back and felt that it was better not to rent the place, and so we will wait and see what happens.

We then ran off to the branch concert that didn't turn out as we expected. I think that the main problem was that there was so much modern music and it didn't feel like a church activity, but we had a prayer at the beginning and the end. The other problem was there were a ton of gypsies. We have one in our ward and she invited all here friends and people to dance. It was crazy how many of them there were. Of the 70 people there, 50 were gypsies - this is no lie or exaggeration. It was crazy, and I could not believe it. Well, they had some cool dance numbers, so that was fun. Now we came home and are getting ready to sleep as always. Tomorrow we will have the entire day to work, so it will finally be a good one."
