"Today was a sweet day. We had a good time writing home and doing all that way. We were home for awhile, and then we went out to write home, and all is well at home. We came back home after I bought some cool Christmas socks and then we just worked on getting pictures all in order. I have ton from Riga and Moscow, and so I put those in order.
We went to scripture study, and had a good time talking about Mark 7. It was awesome with all the people. We then had молодежный вечер and that was a lot of fun. We had few people there, but we played in the snow, and had a huge snowball fight. It was sweet, and we were soaking wet afterwards. The rain came too, so it was fun but wet to play there in the snow. We came home, and then we have been planning as the APs will be here tomorrow. I am dead tired too. It is crazy!"

Walking Around
6 December 2005
"We are back on the train to Moscow. We had a pretty interesting day in Riga, Latvia this morning. We got in and started to walk around the city a bit. We had no clue where we were going and so we just wandered around and took some cool pictures. Riga is way clean compared to Russia, and there are tons of really nice cars. The language doesn't make sense, but almost everyone speaks Russian so that is way cool. We checked out a bunch of the old city before we went and looked at the Stockman's store where they have all kinds of American goods for sale. It was way sweet, and they have some crazy things.
Well, we went and ate at McDonald's as we knew where it was, and we knew the food was decent. We grabbed some good postcards from a place before we just walked around. There are a lot of super nice stores in Riga, and they are like malls. We got our food, and then we got on the train. Tomorrow we will be in Moscow and then back to Самара. Oh, the joys of train traveling!"

VACATION
5 December 2005
"Off to Riga we go! We are on the train right now, and we will be there in about 15 hours. Today we got into Samara after a long train ride from Penza. The Russians have this funny idea that since it is cold outside, you need to burn the cabins up. That means that you just die as you try to sleep and sweat to death. It is a pain. Well, we sat in the office for a bit before we were finally able to leave to the airport.
In Moscow, we had plenty of time to see the city. We went to Red Square and checked it all out. It was way sweet. We then went to TGI Fridays and pigged out. It was so sweet to get some really good food. We then walked around for a bit before we got on this train, and soon we will be in Riga. I am excited, and it should be way cool there."
