Windy

31 January 2005
"A cold one blew in today. That's right and I thought I was for sure going to freeze. I lived and we made it to several houses. We had our собрание округа сегодня утром. That went well, and we played a little ping pong after. Well, we came home and ate a bunch of stir fry. We went to Баба Рая and had a little discussion with her and chatted. Well, that's when the walking and wind just killed us man. We were looking for addresses, and it went well. We ended the night at Айдаровы's with FHE. We ate cookies and chilled with them. It was way cool. Tomorrow we have nothing planned, but we'll find something!"

Blessings

30 January 2005
"It was one of those days that you feel good about being a missionary. I felt like we actually helped out rather then just walk around all day. We went to our meeting bright and early this morning and that went well, and we had good lessons. We came home, ate, studied and then took off. We went searching for someone that wanted a blessing. They said that they wanted one. Well, after searching for awhile we found here. We gave her a blessing and then we went to see Денис. He is a cool member here, that is strong in the church. Well, we also gave him a blessing and helped him out. It was an awesome day to be a missionary. I love to work and help. It is so wonderful serve people!"

Searching

29 January 2005
"It was an all right day, although we didn't have a whole lot. We worked a lot. We had our собрание миссионеров this morning, and then we came home and ate. We then went to different addresses and talked with people. One man said that he believes in his own God. Well, it was fun to talk with people and learn more about them. We still don't have any investigators but we are working on that. I met with President Davidik tonight and he gave us some good advice about working with members. We also had a meeting with Айдаровы's and that was good. They have already been reading together for a month. They are awesome people, and I love them. It feels so nice to work and to do something here! It was freezing today though."

English Debate

28 January 2005
"Well, it was a good day at work. We didn't have a meeting at all, but we stopped by to a bunch of people and found out a few things that we didn't know. Mainly people have moved away and that they don't live here anymore. Well, that's missionary work for you. All is well, and we did have English tonight and that was a lot of fun. We had an opposite debate and it was cool. So we all get along pretty well, and it was a good day. I loved it!"

Good Day

27 January 2005
"It was a sweet day. We started out with service at the church, and we also played ping-pong a little bit. Well, after cleaning up there we came home and ate pizza again that we made, and that was freaking good. We then went to see Нина and she is doing well it seems. We went to first Дачный and gave our passports for registration. We went to sports night, and it was awesome there. We had tons of fun and I will sleep well tonight as always"

New Comp

26 January 2005
"Well, Elzinga is finally here, and things are going to be awesome. We already get along well. This morning I wrote home and then we went to Papa John's and ate a little bit - a lot actually. Well, I had to stop by to the central building to get Ellzinga and then we came home. He unpacked a bit and then he wrote home, and then we went to Сергей's house and had FHE. It was awesome, and a lot of fun. Well, that's all for tonight, but more tomorrow."

Cold One

25 January 2005
"The last day with these elders was a fairly good one. We tried to meet with people but no one was home and so we went to do service at the church. After that, we went home to eat and then off to see Вика и Ольга. They were home and we had an awesome discussion with them. Вика agreed to get baptized and that was cool. Well, after that we had a quick stop by to Таня и Аня and then we went to Лена's and Касуша's and had a short D with them and had a good time. It got super cold (-15) and so it was hard to walk around, but we did a lot. Well, I'm excited for my new companion to come tomorrow!"
