25 October 2004
"We left early to get the passport of Настя and then to собрание округа. We were there for awhile, and then we came home and finished studying. We then went to Ольга's, but she wasn't there. We then went to Наташа, Моша, и Юля. We shared a short message about testimony with them. It was awesome. We sang with them, and it was fun. We came home late, but all is well."

Conference

24 October 2004
"At least we saw some of conference today. It was all we did, but we did enjoy it. We headed to the other early this morning, and then we went to the library for the meeting. We needed an extension cord, so Elder Jensen and I ran around but couldn't find one forever. We bought one - we're sinners - after half an hour. Well, we returned and watched Saturday Morning and Sunday Afternoon session. They were all in Russian, but they were still very interesting and spiritual."

Busy

23 October 2004
"Interesting day today. We met with Таня from English and tried to help her find a book on the internet. We didn't find it, but it was a good opportunity to talk with her about the church. We came home and changed all the things from the area book to the new one. It took a good 6 hours, but we got it all done finally. We then had a meeting with Ольга, and that was interesting. She still can't get over субботный день. We told her to read and to pray about Joseph Smith, and it was pretty awesome. We ended the night with Ангелина, Лидия, и Марина. We talked about general conference, and the importance of it.

I love being able to help people, and to serve them. I absolutely love the people here. They are amazing. I will sure miss them."

Busy

"Well, it was better again today. We just didn't have much time to do anything. We went to a school and talked with them for a bit, and that was cool. We then came home and ate and then went to plan our English lesson. The lesson went well, and it was about politics and was pretty interesting. We ended the night by talking with people, and it went fairly well. I love being busy! It makes the work easier!"

Preach My Gospel

21 October 2004
"Another good day today. It was p-day, so we did all the things we needed to as well as got haircuts. It was a lot of fun to hear from my brother, and to eat like always. Tonight we had a meeting with Ольга и Настя. It was a lot of fun. Nothing from Meagan again so I take it she is getting married or something - who knows.

Today we got the new Preach My Gospel books. It is our new everything, and I love it. I am excited to teach again, and know that the new materials will help. It focuses on the restoration, and I know that that is the most important part of our message. I have a testimony about it that I want to share with everyone! The gospel is true! I love it, and the opportunity to share that with people."

Work

20 October 2004
"It's sure a lot better when we have some work - well at least a couple of meetings. We started the day by just stopping by to people, and of course finding no one home. We ate, stopped by more, then came back here and combined our lists together so that we would be ready for our new supplies. We then went to see Галина - глукая - and that was nice. She is a great lady, and I am amazed at her love. After her, we went to Юля and had a nice short spiritual thought with her. I love working!"

Uh-Oh

19 October 2004
"Well, I'm ready. Elder Kirk and I both are bummed. We got back together, and stopped by to the internet club to write a letter to a contact. We ate and then we headed out to work. We stopped by to a couple people, and then we came back and prepared our Книга Мормона урок. It was an alright lesson, but Алексей и Кирк had a nice argument. Elder Кирк is in an interesting mood, and now he is worrying about everything."
