"Today turned out to be a fairly good day. We wanted to do some contacting and so we got out and did that which we wanted. It actually went all right, and I can't complain. We didn't have any big successes but nothing to complain about, and it was nice to work. We then went to the почта and paid for our phone and then headed to the other elders house where we had собрание округа. It went well, and then we chilled for a bit and it was cool. I talked with Schwab for a bit and that was fun. He is a cool elder and I like to talk with him. We then headed to a meeting with Любовь Заря and that went well. She is a great lady and she said that she would come on Sunday, so that was good news. We went with Андре to his place where he showed us some crap on his computer but as soon as Counter Strike came up, I decided it was time to go. tomorrow we should have a good day and I hope that all will go well."

Apartments
26 February 2006
"It was another quick one, and we didn't get a whole lot done, but we had a couple of good meetings. Well, we started out the day by going to church as usual. All went pretty well but Владик didn't come and so we couldn't set up a meeting with him. There was not that many people there as they had to work since the 23 was a holiday. Well, we came home and ate some pretty good rice that we downed fairly quickly and then we threw in a power nap to energize ourselves. We headed out to take are of some problems with the apartment in the other area - I am tired of so may problems with apartments. We stopped by to the other elders house where we chatted for a bit. Tonight we went to meeting with Гладков to see Малышев. That went really well, and they are both good men. I caught a glimpse of the Olympics - skiing and shooting - so that was cool. Гладков then came home over here where he bothered us for about an hour while I gathered stats and other stuff I did. Tomorrow we will have a couple of meetings so that is cool, and all should go well. I want to serve the Lord with all my might these last 7 weeks. I know that is I will, my life will be so much more blessed and I will be satisfied with my mission and all that happened. "

Sweat
25 February 2006
"Today was sure a good day. I enjoyed it a lot although we didn't do a ton. I needed a day to rejuvenate. I have been working on playing "Верю в Христа" on the piano, and it is going decent. I am getting better, but I still have a lot for work to do. We headed out for some contacting this morning, but there was so few people on the streets. Well, we then bought a few things before we went and had a bit to eat at a little Russian cafe. It was actually decent, and a lot better than what we have been eating. We had собрание миссионеров and that went well. It was crazy how loud everyone was. We then went to sports night where we had a pretty good time. I love to play because I work up such a good sweat, and it is nice to do something once a week. I talked with Ирина (подруга Ани Ф.) for a bit and that was cool. She is a great girl and she wants to hear the lessons but her parent won't let her unfortunately. Well, I feel better today as I was able to relax a little and let some of my load off. Tomorrow it is back to work we go."

Better
24 February 2006
"Today was a lot better day than yesterday. We had stuff to do, and we did it. It was cool, and we had a fairly successful day other than the crappy news from Афина that she could rather not have any lessons with us and doesn't want to go to church. It was really bad there today. This morning I chatted with Elder Scwab for a bit and that was cool. He upped my spirits and then we had our planning session. That went well, and we had a good time talking about our investigators and how to help them. We ate and then we headed out for an adventure. We went in search of some members and we had some luck in finding them. We walked a ton and we thought we would never find this place, but we finally did and we had a nice chat with the lady there. We then had the really bad meeting with Afina after which we went to see Старостины. That was awesome, and I love them to death. They are really good people, and they love to chat with us. We are now home, and I am tired from so much walking. I feel a lot better about the work today, and I love the feeling of being a missionary. The Lord lifts you up so much, and give you the energy that you need. I love to serve the Lord."

Holiday
23 February 2006
" I have very little energy! I want to fall over and sleep. Today was one of those day. They seem to be coming and going often the last little while. Well, this morning was good as we had a fun time contacting. There wasn't a whole lot of people on the street as today is a holiday - С Днем Зашитников Отчества. We walked around a bit before hitting up the рынок to get some stuff for the party that we had tonight. Well, we bought the stuff we needed and then we came home. Well, we ate lunch which was our famous пельмены soup. That was cool, and then we chilled for a bit. I actually slept for like an hour and then we took off to the branch apartment where we had a meeting with a guy who came to English yesterday - his name was Олег. He is an alright guy, but not too interested in the gospel. We mainly just chatted with him and then we finished and we had изучение с.п. Well, we then had молодежный вечер which went all right, but could have been better. We played the stick pulling game, and beat all the other elders. That was cool. We then played in Viking like last week and it was pretty cool. We came home and now I want to sleep."

Slow
22 February 2006
"Today was pretty sweet day, and we didn't really do anything. We kind of just took it easy. This morning, we cleaned up the apartment and got things in order around here. We took off and wrote home where things are going as usual. My sister is moving back home for a bit, and BJ is working well. We wrote home and all went well that way, and then we took off and bought our food for the next week or so. We went to the branch apartment where my come helped Маша with her computer, and I worked on cleaning the joint up a little bit. It was really bad there, but it is a lot better. Well, then we ate at Трио Пицца and they had the Olympics on (cross country skiing) and we glanced every now and then. It was way sweet and I love the Olympics. After that we stopped into a book store and did a lot of looking around. It was cool and then we had English. We ended the night that way, and it should be a good one tomorrow. I feel a bit better today, and hopefully my headache will disappear once we start to work again."

Spinning
21 February 2006
"Today was certainly a good day. We had a lot of work go down for us and Elder Theurer is way cool. We did some good studying this morning and then we headed out to do some contacting in the snow. My head was and has been spinning all day. Contacting went alright, but nothing amazing. We talked with several people and greatly enjoyed that and then we went home, and ate some really really good stir fry that Elder Theurer made. It was one of the best things I have had in a while so that was cool. We then went to a meeting with Людмила - I was there with Schwab a few weeks ago. That didn't go as planned, and she doesn't want to talk about the church so that was interesting. Masha was with us, and she helped save things. Well, we stopped by to a couple of addresses and so that was cool. We ended the night with Felix. He is an awesome guy who has big doubts about the church and the Book of Mormon. It was insane. We talked a lot about there was a break off from Jerusalem, and why it happened. He got offended on people in the branch. We then came to the center and Elder Steiner and I are back together. Like I said, my head is spinning, and I need to sleep."
