Miracles

11 April 2005
"What a day! It is awesome to be a missionary. We are working well, and having a good time. We had собрание округа this morning and then came home and studied and all. We took off and met with Алена and went to Ирина's where we had an awesome lesson with her. She is moving along and is understanding better and better. We then went and had a lesson on the street with a guy (Денис) and he had some weird ideas like a lot of people do. We then went and met with some members, and had an awesome meeting with them. We then were looking for an address and we met a lady who is interested at least to talk to us. Its awesome to see the miracles that are taking place right now. They are awesome. The Lord is preparing people! What a wonderful opportunity to serve this people."

Meeting and Irina

10 April 2005
"I guess I am use to contacting as that is basically what we always do. We had the meeting this morning and that was good. Ирина came but is having problems with her husband, so had to leave. Later we came home and ate after trying to find an address. We then went contacting and met several drunk people. We met an awesome family on the street, and we hope that all will work out well with them. Tonight we have planned a lesson for Ирина and getting ready for bed. I am beat, and ready for bed."

Beat

9 April 2005
"Once again, we walked a ton. We had no meetings until about 6 tonight and so that meant we were on the street contacting all day basically. We did take a break for lunch, and to sit down a couple of times. It was crazy, and we are hoping that we will have some success from all of it. We finally had a meeting with President Алексей tonight and that was good. We asked him how we could help him and how he could help us. Tonight we met with Сергей and that went well. He knows so much, and he greatly wants to help. We are hoping that we can use him to our advantage. We are sure beat, but all in all things turned out well."

Atonement

8 April 2005
"Talk about an incredibly long day, but a good one. We sat at conference in the church for nearly 9 hours. We learned tons about how we need to use members a lot better in our work. The ohter very awesome thing was that we talked a lot about the Atonement. We need to rely on it more in our work. We must gain a testimony, and help other gain a testimony of it! Tonight we had little time but went to a few addresses. It has been a day of much reflecting and thinking how I can do better. This is truly the Lord's work. I am so greatful for the opportunity to serve and be here! This is his work!!"

Jensen

7 April 2005
"We walked, and walked...and walked today. It was insane. We went to tons of members and none were home really. Anyways, we contacted a bunch on the street too, and not much happened for us that way. Tonight we watched The Emperor's New Groove for english and I got to see Elder Jensen for the first time in a long time - 6 months. It was cool. I took my time for granted with him. He is a way good elder and I love him to death. To end the night, we met with a member across the street and invited here out to church and english. In general it was a good day, and we had a way good time."

P-Day

6 April 2005
"Preperation day always flys by. We cleaned up around here for a bit - it was much needed. We then played ping-pong for awhile today before going to write home and eating in McDonalds. We then looked at discs and I of course bought a couple. We went to the church and waited for a member to come who didn't and then we went to see Валентина - one of the members here. Now we are just sitting here having a good time, getting ready for tomorrow. We have a lot to do, and so we should be getting to that!"

Searching

5 April 2005
"Once again we walked forever. That's all we did. We went looking for an address but couldn't get to it as the guy wasn't home. Well, we contacted a big and then we went looking for some members. We found a couple of them and had an interesting meeting with a lady who got offended by someone in the church. It was very interesting to hear her story. Well, we then went to english and there we had cake with the students. After the class we talked with Юлия - our investigator and just got to know here a bit. She is a great young lady and I'm excited to teach her. We are excited for tomorrow for p-day. I home that it's fun!"
