"Today turned out different then planned – I was back in Норья unexpectedly. We had district meeting after Elder Kirk registered. We were sitting there discussing our week when Марина called and said that Darcy – one of the students – needed a priesthood blessing. Well, Elder Watts and I were on an exchange, and we went out there. We gave the blessing which was weird because it was in English – something Elder Watts hasn't done for almost 2 years. Well, everything was alright with her, and so we decided to stay around for FHE with Алек и Марина. They are awesome, and we watched The Light of the World program that Elder Watts has, and it was a lot of fun. We came home and that was the night. It was crazy.
Also, we where were there, Zan talked about some of her life stories. They were pretty amazing! She has gone through a lot. She is also going to build a home in Норья, and basically just give it to the missionaries there – the Church I guess. Elder Watts and I talked about it, and we were amazed at how generous some people are. They are so willing to give to the people here. It is so awesome! Amazing the things that the Lord is doing here. He truly does have his hand in the work!"

Good Times
17 October 2004
"Talk about amazing meetings – that's what we had today. It was absolutely awesome. There was very few people at the meeting today in Ижевск, but it was still a good one. We heard testimonies from Zan and Mrs. Johnson, and that was awesome. We took a picture afterwards, and it was a lot of fun. I helped Галина today (deaf investigator). After the meeting we headed to Норья. There, we had another testimony meeting, and it was awesome. The spirit was amazing again. It's awesome how close members of the church are when they live so far apart!
On the trip to and from Норья, I talked with Марина (дочь Ангелины) and it was nice. She is awesome, and I want to help her to get baptized. She would be an awesome member. We have so much good here, and I love it! I know that the Lord has blessed us, and that all we have is from him. Ижевск is an amazing place, and I love the people here. I know that there will be a great branch here soon."

"I found out why everyone says I look thinner – probably because I am. Today we were so busy, I didn't even have time to eat. We bought some meat on the рынок, but we didn't have time to eat. We stopped by to a contact across the street, and chatted for a bit. We then did a couple things for Elder Kirk's registration. We had a meeting with the other and that went well – it was with Ольга. She is still caught up with субботный день. We really can't get over it. We finished the night with Ольга и Настя. We chatted and had a good meeting with them."

"What a day! We didn't meet with anyone, but we couldn't really. This morning we worked on registration for Кирк. We were there for a nice long time. We then came home and ate followed by планирование! That is 2 hours long, and it went fairly well. We then returned to do more registration. We held English lesson, and then we came home. It's ridiculous how much we have to do in the city here – we do everything."

P-Day
14 October 2004
"Weird to have preparation day on a Thursday, but it worked out. Last night after I wrote, we got a phone call and had to go to the other elder's apartment. In short, the Z.L.s couldn't find the apartment, and Kirk and Watts didn't have keys. That meant that we had to go there and help out. We slept there and just relaxed.
Today we wrote home, and ate at our cafe that we always eat at. We then came home and slept and wrote more letters. Tonight we met with Лена, Тимур, и Лиля. It was interesting, but not much happened - they are just super busy."

Exchanges

"I was with Elder Jensen today, and we didn't have P-day. Elder Kirk and Watts were in Samara for the day so this means that Elder Jensen and I were busy working. We had a good time and worked hard - mainly in their район. We did meet Elder Gallop and Smith (Z.L.) on вокзал. They are in the city to work. We had a time meeting with people, and made several contacts.
It was the second day in a row with snow, so that was insane. It is plenty cold outside, but luckily we are inside a lot. Soon there will be tons of snow! I am excited! I can't wait! I love snow!"

Quiet

"Another interesting day today. We were in a school today doing some service - well, mainly a presentation about America. Арсентин - he is one of our contacts - took us to the school, and we just talked with the kids about America. It was a good experience. The kids really enjoyed it, and it was very interesting to answer their questions. We ended the night with a meeting with Юри - it went well, and is doing well. Fairly quiet, but good today!"
