Hard Times

21 February 2005
"Things are hard right now, and I guess today didn't help. We had our собрание округа this morning here and then we came home and ate. We started working about 4 and we were searching for an address that we couldn't find. We gave up and stopped by to Света and dropped off a note, and then on to Айдаровы's with service and FHE. Well, I thought a lot today just about where I'm at in my mission, and how all is going. I feel like we're going nowhere. I know I just need to get lost in the work and go. I need to do better myself, and rely more on the Lord. This is his work, and I must lean on him!"

Gods

20 February 2005
"What a good one! We did tons. We had the meeting as usual this morning and then we came home and grabbed a quick bite to eat. We then ran to Денис's house, and had an awesome lesson with him. We then met with Гонзины and they are doing awesome. They want to help us and that is awesome. We then went to see Клавдия and she read! I have a good feeling about her. We also found another lady there that might be interested. It's awesome how the Lord is blessing us. We ended the night at Надежда's house and that was cool. We talked about how we can become Gods and how God was once a man. It was an awesome meeting, and we opened up a lot to her. So that was the day. Everything is melting so it is dirty everywhere, but soon it will be warm again! Oh the joys of missionary work!"

Фиг

19 February 2009
"It was an awesome day. We had conference this morning and that was way cool. It was way awesome to just feel the spirit so strong. Well, we ran from conference to a couple of meetings with our members. They both went well. We then got a фиг from a guy who said he wanted to meet with. Well, we ate some шашлыки and then came home. Right now I have a lot going through my head right now."

Planning

18 February 2005
"A quiet day with a nice little meeting. We planned for awhile this morning and that went pretty well. We figured we wouldn't get too much done next week because Элзинга is going for a new visa. Anyhow, we got a bit done and then went out and started looking for people. We had a meeting with Татяна Ермолова and did the 1st lesson with her. It went really well. We then had English tonight and that went really good too. We played Taboo, and it was really fun. Tomorrow is conference so that should be good."

Balet

16 February 2005
"So it was definitely a sweet day. We had tons of fun. So, we started out with writing home, and that was fun. We then ran around and bought several things. I myself bought a couple cds. We later went and watched Best Two Years and ate pizza. It was cool, and all the elders from Saratov were there. We ran by to McDonalds and then we ended the night at the ballet. That was actually really cool, and our культурный вечер. Tomorrow it is back to missionary work we go, and finding people to teach. The movie got me excited to work again too though."

New Investigator

17 February 2005
"Well, it was a cool day today, and we found a new investigator. Her name is Наташа and she is pretty cool, and she has way awesome kids. We'll see what come from that. After finding and meeting with her, we went to a couple other addresses. We came home and ate and then had interviews with President Давыдик. We stopped home, changed, and then we went to sport's night. Well, we played hard there and had a good time. Back home now, and we are relaxing. It's awesome to have someone interested. I love to teach and it will be cool to teach her."

Moving along

15 February 2005
"We had a fairly good day, and we worked hard. We started out with shoveling snow at the church for an hour or so this morning, and that was loads of fun (just like home). We then came home ate and went to several different addresses. We went to Света's and had a sweet time and good discussion with her. She wants to help us and that's cool. We then went to Айдаровы's and had a good time there. I have been kind of sick today so hopefully that goes away soon."
