2 Quick Days

29 November 2004
"Another crazy couple of days. We were on another surprise sleepover at the other elder’s house and so couldn’t write yesterday. So we woke up Sunday morning and went to church as usual and Elder Kirk gave an awesome talk. He is very spiritual, and always brings the spirit. The best part of the meeting was when Сестра Лидия prayed – she is so humble! After the meeting, we went to Норья and had a good lesson there! Алексей was there and not happy to see us as usual, but I had a short talk with him, and things got a little better! Well, we came home, and had a quick decision to make, and so of course we stayed at the other elder’s place.

Today, we were there, and then we had district meeting! We talked about a lot, but especially about electronics – my favorite. Well, we came home, and then we went and searched for a Bible. We still didn’t find one – its like they don’t sell them here. Well, we went to a meeting with Наташа, Маша, и Юлия and watched Legacy. It was awesome because Наташа got permission form her husband to be baptized. She says when she is ready she will be baptized. Well, we ended the night and came home! I love to work! I think everyone does! It’s awesome!"

Kazan Trip

27 November 2004
"What a day! Tired, but still doing well. We were in Казань today for a zone conference, and it was very good. We heard a lot about the new program that we have, and the importance of it in the work. We also heard about how we are not eating very healthy – that’s not a big surprise. Well, the train was deathly hot to Казань, but was better on the way home! I didn’t sleep like I wanted to, but all is well! Маша Михайлова also came with us, so that was interesting. I got a package from my family, and it was interesting – well we almost finished the 3 pound bag of M&Ms which is disgusting! There’s a pecan pie there also, so we will see how that testes later. Other then that, not much is happening – conference was good, and soon we will be having transfers again."

Quick and Short

26 November 2004
" Not much got done today, but I feel all right. We left early to get a talk from the internet for him and then came home and ate. I made brownies – I was feeling ambitious – and Elder Kirk slept. Well, we left, and bought some boots and then we went to English. It was a good day, but now I am tired, and tomorrow we are headed to Казань."

Thanksgiving!!!

25 November 2004
"Happy Thanksgiving!! Well, that's all we have thought about today. There's a long story for all, so I'll get started. Yesterday was -pday. We wrote home and ate at Позимь. Jeff got his call to Ecuador...and he goes in to the MTC Jan. 5. Anyways, so we got haircuts and all that good stuff, and then we had a meeting with Лена's friend Маша. She lived where Бела lived, so is way rich. She is way cool, and has a way cool daughter. She said she'd be interested to here more. That will be cool to meet with them again. Well, we finished way late there and it was by the центр. We just decided to sleep a the other's house.

Well, this morning we just waited till about 12 and went to a restaurant – Кама. We ate, and it was way good, but way expensive. Well, after the 3 hours there we went to Baskin Robbins. Now we are at home because Elder Kirk has to talk on Sunday. We have a meeting with Ольга и Настя Ермелайовы later, so I will write about that later.

Later – well, the night ended way good. We ended up stopping by to Наташа and talking with her. We then had a meeting like I said with Ольга и Настя. It was good. Настя talked in English with us and it was funny! They are such great people! I love working! It makes me feel good! Я скучаю по брату. Я очень хочу говорить с ним. Все-такие, только 19 месяцев еще!"

Great Day

23 November 2004
"It was probably our most effective day yet. This morning we were looking for an address, and found it, but I turns out that we had written the wrong Дом. Well, we met with Галя and talked with her for a bit. She broke her arm, so now she can't even sign. We ate, and then we met with Юлия. She is way awesome. We talked about reading the BofM and she asked questions – it was awesome. We met up with the other elders and Elder Jensen and I went to Ангелина и Лидия. Марина was there also. We watched a talk from conference. It went way awesome. We met back up with the others, an all worked out. Now we are relaxing, and have a good day ahead of us tomorrow. Work rules! I love it."
