Rug Beating

22 November 2004
"We went to district meeting, and as usual, it went way long – I ate Elder Watts' chocolate bars which are dang good. Well, we came home and our landlady wanted us to beat the rug and vacuum up. Well, we were at it for about 2 hours, but now our apartment looks way good. Tonight, we just stopped by to people and no one was home as usual. We got some food and came home. We ate some popcorn and just talked. Right now, we have a baptism for the 18th of December – Юлия – and hopefully we will have one more. Who knows – anyways tomorrow we have a couple of meetings. That should be nice!!"

Movie and Work

21 November 2004
"Another day missed, but at least it was a good couple of days. Saturday, we talked with Виталий, and had a good chat with him. We tried to stop by to a contact that we received, but no one was home. Well, we then went and watched the film – The Other Side of Heaven – and tons of people came. It was way awesome. The film was a lot of fun, and everyone enjoyed it. Well, after the film, we decided to just sleep at the other's hour since it was late.

This morning we went to the meeting, and it was good. Настя taught the lesson – her first time ever. It went way good, just like home. Well, after the feast we went to see Ольга, and it was way pointless – she didn't really listen to us, but she just wanted to get answers on every question. Well, after that, we stopped by to some people, and then helped Стася with her English. It was a lot of fun. I love it here!"

Snow!!

"You should see it here! It just keeps on snowing! It started this morning, and didn't stop all day. Well, that makes it hard to want to work, but we still did. We did planning this morning, and that went well. We stopped by to Галя and met her niece. After that, we planned english and then headed to the lesson. As always, the lesson was good. After the lesson we came home and ate. It was fun. We have lots to do tomorrow so that will be good. Hopefully it will go well."

Slow Day

18 November 2004
"Well, we had a couple of meetings with people. This morning, we were trying to контактировать. We had a meeting with Ольга, and it went very well – it was about Joseph Smith. It was good for her, and she greatly enjoyed it. Well, after that we tried to stop by to Наташа, Андрей, и Аня but they weren’t home. After that we went to visit with Ольга и Настя but Настя didn’t show."

Sleep

17 November 2004
"I feel a little better today – well, I’m not so tired because I slept about an hour and a half. Well, after the writing home, and eating we came home and slept. We tried to stop by to a couple people tonight but no one was home, so we got the DVD player, and screen and watched the church information disc with Ангелина и Лидия. They enjoyed it a lot, and it was awesome to show them. Well, after it all, we are back home and getting ready for a new week! Time flies here! Here we go for another week! The work is awesome! It’s awesome! I love it!"

Busy

16 November 2004
"It was a fun day. We left to the internet place this morning to help Настя find a topic for her lesson. We found a good talk for her from President Faust. Well, after that we went to the other Elder’s house, and then we shopped for food and for a few other things. We came home and ate – chicken and potatoes. It was good. Well, we went to the Book of Mormon class, and had a good discussion there. Well, after that we stopped by to a couple people, and then came home. Wow – tomorrow is already p-day. Talk about crazy! The work is awesome!"
