"I'm still in Ижевск!! That's right - all the worrying for nothing! In fact nothing scary happened The lady didn't even mention anything about friday to our landlady. That was good that nothing happened, and I am now registered here in the city. Elder Watts and I then went to the bank where he took about $1200 for the district (crazy how much money we need for missionary work). We met Ирина from America there and she went to the library with us (where everything is still alright, and we can still meet there). Elder Кирк and I ate and then sat on собрание округа. We came home and then went to help Александр - english student - with english. We also wrote to Washington because Юлия will be there!
Ижевск - I love it here! Thank goodness the Lord is blessing us. Talk about an awesome feeling."

Busy
30 October 2004
"I had a bad headache, and so it helps when we are working. Today, we started out with a meeting with Ангелина и Лидия - they said something about наша Церковь (провославная) that was interesting to me. Later we met with Ольга and wathed General Conference - a couple talks. We then went to the store for food before our visit with Настя и Ольга. We watched Наследие (Legacy) with them, and it went well. We ended the night, and now we have to change our clocks. Tomorrow is another busy day!"

Broken Law
29 October 2004
"I am lucky to be writing this! Wow! It was a crazy day! We had English tonight, and so we spent most the day getting ready for it. We were at the internet club, and then we mad pumpkin bread - I'm almost a chef! The bread was alright, but that's not the crazy thing that happened today! So we're at English class and a lady is checking our passports - she registers us here in the government building. Well, I was in Samara on Wednesday because we have to register there in order to register here (there is not religious organization here in Izhevsk). I hadn't registered because we have 3 days to do so. Well, she checked and told me that I couldn't be in Izhevsk without registration. Well, she talked with all of us - made it a huge deal so everyone got all freaked out - and then filled out some papers.
I thought nothing about the papers when I signed them, and neither did Watts who was there when I signed them. Turns out that the papers were saying that I had broken a law - when really I hadn't. Prison...here I come! Well, I don't know for sure, but we'll see what happens Monday. After english, I went with Elder Jensen to a discussion! Elder Watts was too worried and stressed. We might loose the library for this! Satan is working hard, but we just have to keep on going! The Lord will bless us. I just hope its not by sitting in jail."

Married
28 October 2004
"Well, a fairly good day today. We worked all night, and had a good time today. We were all at the other elder's house as we all slept there, and we talked for a while. Then, we went out to the internet, and wrote home. After that we ate in our Cafe - Позэнь, and we had a good time there. Elder Kirk and I came home, and we rested and I wrote several letters home. We then headed to see Слава but he wasn't home. We ended the night with a meeting with Галина - deaf, and that was good.
Well, I got the news today that likely Meagan will be getting married soon. I don' t know what to think, but I will be happy when all is resolved - either yes or no. Right now, my head hurts to think about it. All is well, and I am grateful to serve the Lord, and know this is where I should be! I love to serve! This is the Lord's work!"

Registration Trip
27 October 2004
"It was a quick one to and from Samara. We took of early and flow into Samara around 10. We went to the office, and they took my stuff to get all registered. We sat around for a bit, and then we headed to an Italian restaurant for lunch. It was way good, and I loved it. We just sat and read in the office most of the day. We took off, and our flight was delayed, so we just waited a bit. We took off about an hour late, but made it back to Izhevsk without any problems. I slept most of the time on the plane, and on the hour taxi ride.
I kind of wish I had been here in the city, but all is well. It was a nice break. I was with Watts and we had a blast talking. He's a good elder, and knows the language very well. I enjoy missionary work, and I can't wait to get going again! Well, p-day again tomorrow, but yes.."

School Visits
26 October 2004
"We stopped by to Ольга this morning and then went to a university. There we just talked. It was mostly girls, so that was awkward, but it was good. We met a girl who lived in Colorado, and she knew English very well. It was pretty cool.
After that...We went home and I mad tortillas, after which we met with Юля. She is awesome. I wish I could be here when she gets baptized, but likely I will be gone. Anyhow, we are staying at the other elder's house tonight, and then tomorrow I will be in Samara to do registration. Hopefully all will work out for us tomorrow."
