Friends

17 January 2005
"Another good one today. We kept ourselves nice and busy today so that made it for a good one. We had our собрание округа сегодня and then we went to see Вика in the hospital. It was cool because we gave her a blessing because of her operation tomorrow. We came home and then we went to FHE with the deaf people. It was really cool. We had a good time there, and enjoyed it. I have been becoming good friends with Elder Barney. He's a cool guy and I like him a lot. I hope I get a cool companion like him. It will be cool to see."

Busy

15 January 2005
"We had a pretty good one today. We had our собрание миссионеров this morning and it went well. We had a good time discussing things how to help our ward. We went to see a lady that got baptized not too long ago that is inactive. It was a fairly good meeting, and we had a good time. We then stopped by to see Нина who said she would be at the meeting tomorrow. We went to Айдаровы's and had a spiritual thought and had a good time with Саша. We tried to stop by to Аня и Таня but they weren't home. Well, I hear I will be with Сергей on a mini-mission, but I don't know exactly what will be, but I'll find out tomorrow!"

Work

14 January 2005
"An all right day we had today. We tried to get out to see a member, but she didn't have time, and so we came back, made our goals, and planned. We left and I bought a CCCP sweater. We then helped Вика (one of their investigators) home before going to english. We had a good time there, and played with everyone. We came home and now we are relaxing and getting ready for bed. It looks like we'll have a lot of work, so that will be good."

Petersburg Trip

13 January 2005
"Morning - we made it back to Saratov here in fairly good shape. We had a good time in St. Petersburg and I'll explain a little about that. When we got to Samara, we immediately went to orientation and then went to the airport for our flight. When we got there, we got into a nice gazelle and took off for the border, after getting some food to eat. We had a cool guy that was like our guide with us. He served in Moscow not too long ago, and now he does tours of the city. Well, we got to the border, and we had to walk forever. We went through a couple of check stations and got all we needed. When we got back to Petersburg it was already 10:30 so we ate quick and then went to bed. The next day (Wednesday) I got up and we took a little tour of the city. It was a lot of fun, and I enjoyed it tons. We saw so many cool things. After that, we ate at KFC and then we went to the airport from there, we took off to Samara, and then we came to Saratov on the train. It was a long couple days, but it was fun. Petersburg is so pretty, and its just like a European city. It's very clean, and it was nice. It was a nice little vacation.

Evening - Well, I am ready to die. So McCain got transferred and right now I am with Barney and Smith. It's a lot of fun with them, and today we had conference and that was nice. The zone leader talked about setting realistic goals. It got us all ready to set good realistic goals. Well, after that I wrote home and I and all is going pretty well there. We came home and got ready for sports night. It was a lot of fun there, and we had a way good time there. Well, and I am excited to work with these elders and I think we will have a lot of fun and work hard."
