Junk

25 April 2005
"Today it was alright again. We walked around a lot and talked with a lot of people. We also had a meeting with Ирина and all today, but nothing great. We were suppose to have an FHE tonight, but only one person could, so we basically had a good time there with them. Tonight we are eating junk and getting ready for another day of walking. What an exciting week!"

Making Cookies

24 April 2005
"It was an alright day, but the weather kind of put me out of it. We had the собрание this morning, and we had two people that came that we had met on the street. Well, they had an alright time, but they didn't like it tons. Well, we then came home and ate and then got ready to work. We went to a bunch of different addresses with little success. We had a meeting with some members tonight and that was good as always. We learned a lot about Easter and how there will be an all night service in the Провославная Церковь and then all got to the graves. Tonight we made some cookies and are working on filling up our new week with good meetings!"

Great Member

23 April 2005
"What a day! We did some real service and cleaned the church up a bit. We were there for 3 hours, but it was much better by the end. We came home and changed quickly and then we went contacting - our favorite thing! No one was too interested, but we came home feeling alright. We ate and rested then headed back out. We met an awesome family who has never met with missionary and we hope they get interested. We met with Сергей Любемеко this evening and had an interesting talk with him about genealogy work. Well, on the way home we talked with some interesting people - we were in white shirts and ties - but made it home safe. We feel like missionaries again and are enjoying times again."

Dead

22 April 2005
"What a day. We are getting stood up every meeting now basically. So this morning we planned and studied and all that fun stuff. Well, then we should have had a meeting in the church, but the girl that we met yesterday came and told us that she couldn't meet. Well, then we had another meeting that we were going to show a film, but once again, no one was home. Well, then we contacted for a while and we took our jackets off and walked around in just our shirts and ties. Well, we did have one meeting with a member who was home and that was nice. We then went from house to house and no one was home. Well, I am dead, and just want to sleep. It was another one of those days."

Better Day

21 April 2005
"Today we had an alright day, that ended awesome. This morning we went contacting and that went pretty well. We didn't have much success, but we did meet a member that is fairly nice that lives there that was offended. We ate and then met with Ирина and that went well. She is still searching and she is doing well. We then stopped by to a member and set up an appointment with her. We went to english and met a new young lady that we have a meeting with tomorrow so we will see how that goes. Tonight we stopped by to an address but the guy wasn't home. Tonight we are working on getting our spirits up. It was definitely a better day!"

Forgetful

20 April 2005
"It was one of those days that I want to forget. Well, one of those nights at least. We played b-ball this morning and that was cool, we got way dirty. We went and wrote home today in Saratov and then ate in McDonalds. Later we slept a bit and then I cut my hair with a razor that I bought. We then had a meeting with a member that didn't happen and so contacted a bit. We then wanted to meet with Денис и Инга but they gave us a фиг. We just knocked and had no luck really. We decided we just have to keep working hard and the Lord will bless us."

Marks

19 April 2005
"It was an interesting day. We took off early this morning to Маркс for a conference. The conference wasn't very long, but it was good to see everyone in our zone. We came home with the ZLs and we ate and that good stuff. We got walking around and contacting as usual and nothing amazing, but it was sure an interesting time. We then had english and that went fairly well - I am already tired of english twice a week and we are trying to think how to do better. Well, we went looking for an address and couldn't find it as it was a ways away. Well, we are getting ready for tomorrow and shocked how quickly the time goes on the mission. It needs to slow down."
