"Talk about a bad day turned good...sort of. So we had собрание округа this morning and that went fairly well. Later we met with Ирина and left with an empty feeling. She has kind of stopped searching, and that is hard. Well, we left and ate a little. After eating, we went to a meeting that didn't happen of course, and then later we met with some members and that was nice. We had another run in on the way home with some drunk guys. They just wanted to talk with us, but they were drunk, and we didn't want them to follow us home. Well, we got home without any problem, and set up our day tomorrow. We hope that everything will work out well for us, and that we can find some more people to work with. This is the Lord's work, and I am greatful to be here!"

Easter
1 May 2005
"It was kind of a killer day. Well, it was Пасха today and that was fun. On the meeting, we had some food afterward and that was fun to talk with everyone. We then came home, and ate and then we went to work. We talked and went to different addresses with people. We decided to do some more knocking and try to find some people. No one was home really, but we talked with some interesting people. Well, we came home, and set up appointments. I am getting ready for bed right now, and tomorrow we should have a good day!"

Fasting
30 April 2005
"I have had a couple testimony builders today. This morning I didn't feel like working and we didn't work super hard. We ate lunch and we began our fast. Well, we walked around a bunch more and then came home and met our land lady. Well, I wanted to sleep, but I had a strong impression that we needed to get out the door. We left and while walking I remembered an impression that I had had earlier but let it pass. We went to a дом and knocked there. In a few minutes we had already given a 1st D right at the door of a great lady. We also gave away 2 Books of Mormon and talked with many interesting people. Well, it was a testimony builder of following the promptings of the Holy Ghost, and the power of fast. Fasting truly does bring great unseen blessings. The hard work is paying off, and I feel great! What a wonderfuly time to be a missionary. "

Drunk People
29 April 2005
"We got ourselves a new investigator today, and he is an interesting guy. He is a guy that we talked with on the street a few days ago. Well, we met with him tonight, and had an interesting discussion with him. We then got home late, so I am ready to sleep. We knocked a lot today because it is raining so much, and it was fairly draining. Well, we met some interesting people with that, and there was one point where we met a guy and then all his drunk friends came. One really wanted to talk, and so he was talking our head off, right in our faces. We walked away and left Агней Божий (he wouldn't give it back). It wasn't scary, but I see that we really shouldn't talk with those type of people. So that's the day...more tomorrow."

Falling Through
28 April 2005
"We did a lot of stuff that we didn't necessarily need to, but that we did. We had an appointment fall through with members, and so we searched for a DVD to watch for English lesson. We didn't find anything really, but we searched for too long. Anyways, we had a couple of good lessons on the street with people and it was fairly interesting. We ate and had our meeting with Ирина fall through. Tonight we had english and we watched Shrek 2. It was way funny. I liked it a lot. Well, I am ready to sleep now and get ready for tomorrow. Hopefully all will work out well for us!"

Fun P-day
27 April 2005
"P-day went well again, and we had a good time playing in b-ball. We also played in a little ping-pong after we went to Saratov today. In Saratov we wrote home as usual. My family is getting excited to talk with me, and it would seem that all is going great that way. I hope that I will get to talk with my brother, but we'll see for sure. Tonight we met with some members, and had a good time with them. We walked a long ways again tonight, and so my legs are dead. I am greatful to be able to work hard even if it doesn't have many results right now. They will come!"

We are working on getting ready for p-day today, and all so we are surprised at how fast time is going. I wold have to agree. It is flying!"
