Film

7 February 2005
"It was one of those day. We didn't do a whole lot, but at the same time, we did get some done. So we had собрание округа today and then after that we worked on our film the rest of the day almost. We did make it to FHE though, so that was good. We saw a bit of Emperor's New Groove, and played. All in all, it was fun, and we enjoyed ourselves. Tomorrow it is right back to work as usual though. That will be good!"

Discussions

6 February 2005
"Talk about a day. 4 meetings with members in 4 hours today. We packed it in. We taught the 2nd lesson – plan of salvation – and it went fairly well. We went to Надежда's, Вера Сомко, Галина, and then to Денис's mom. All in all, it went very well. We enjoyed it, and it got us a chance to meet with new people. This morning we went to our meeting and had a good time there. I was in a bad mood because I was tired, but I snapped out of it. It was way awesome to teach them, and a way good learning opportunity. I love to teach! It is way awesome! It is a great opportunity, and I love the spirit when teaching."

What the?

5 February 2005
"It was an interesting day. So we had our собрание миссионеров today, and then we came back here with the other elders and Сергей and ate tacos and had a discussion about how to make our branch better. Well, thats when the fun started. We were going to addresses, and had a meeting with Старцевы. After that, we talked a guy on the street and he was a bit drunk. We talked with him for a few minutes and he told me to drink some water. I didn't want to but he said he'd be offended. Shortly speaking it didn't turn out to be water, and I had plenty to spit out. Well, we took off and stopped to some other people and had a D with a lady that was interested. We ended the night ad Айдаровы and had a good time with them. All in all a good day besides the experience with that guy. I found out that I don't like alcohol and don't have any desire to drink it!"

-- I remember this well. Not sure why I even drank the "water" but it was sure nasty like I said. I don't know what was inside but it was disgusting.

Contacts

4 February 2005
"Finally something worked out for us. So today, we had planning session and we decided we want to find more people. Right now, its only happening through contacting. So we went contacting and got 3 contacts. It was way awesome. We also met with Нина and Слава was there and it was a good meeting with them. Слава listened well, and we gave him a blessing for his hand/arm. Well, we then went to english lesson and had a good lesson with 3 students. Tonight we are trying to set up a good one for tomorrow, and hopefully we will have a lot of success"

Football Weather

3 February 2005
"It was an all right day. We were suppose to have a meeting this morning with a kid but he was sleeping. Well, we contacted a bit, and then bought a few things. After that, we came home, ate, and then contacted some more before we went to sports night. We didn't have any meetings, so that was a bummer, but all in all, we kept things up. The nice thing today was that it was football weather and so that kept me going and pumping. I am dead and ready to go to bed!"

Fun Day

2 February 2005
"I am dead tired, but that is a good thing because that means we did lots. Anyhow, so we cleaned up a little bit, and then left to write home. We then ate at Papa John's and that was cool. We then chilled at the sister's house (Smith and Davies). We played cards and just relaxed. We then bought products and came home. We ran to Sergei's house for FHE, and there we had root beer floats. We talked about getting people excited about the work here. Energy and excitement is the big key to teaching. When we are having fun, that is when we work best. We want to get everyone excited and motivated to work and love the gospel!"

Lists

1 February 2005
"It turned out to be an all right day. We had service this morning and so we went to the church. Well, Зоя didn't show up and so we played ping pong for a bit and then we came home and ate. Well, after that, we payed for our telephone and then went by address to find people. Well, we ended at Света Горина's and had a good lesson with her and helped her to do her list of people she knows. It was cool. I enjoyed it a lot! I love to work and teach."
