"Today was a sweet day, and we had a good time relaxing. We got out and did some good contacting and that was nice. We talked with some interesting people and had a good time that way. So, we came home and we had district meeting that went pretty well and it was pretty cool. We have good elders. After that I had to have interviews with each of the missionaries and it was interesting. Well, I chatted with each of them, and I had to ask a ton of questions and it was a long process that really wore me out. We ate right after that and I felt better. We headed out to Шавкат's place and had an interesting time there as always. As he was praying in the end, 2 drunk guys that live with him started to yell and swear really loud. I sure wish that I didn't understand, but I do. We then headed out to see the Макаровы where we had a good time with them and had FHE there. We had a lesson about how we need to have a clean apartment and then we played for a bit. It was pretty fun. We then came home and are trying to solve problems. I am ready to pass out so hopefully I sleep really well."

"We had a good Sunday finally and worked hard. So the meeting went well, and we had Владик there with us. Well, I was really tired today for some reason and it was hard to not close my eyes. It went well though, and by the end, all was well. We went with Вася after the meeting to see Фаюстова Наташа. She is a nice young lady who has a lot of problems, and who is lost right now. I gave her the ultimate cure - read the Book of Mormon. This is something that will always help if people will just do it always. After our meeting, we came home and grabbed a bite to eat and relaxed a bit. I worked on setting up some meetings and on getting all worked out that way. We took off this evening to see Брейкины and had a decent meeting with them. They have a lot of problems but are good people. We also were with Илья there. We came home and as always am dealing with problems. Our refrigerator stopped working and so we have to get that fixed."

Beat
18 March 2006
"Today was another fairly good day. I am absolutely beat right now, but over all we had a good time. So, this morning we got out and contacted a bit and it went well. We had 4 lessons and people actually wanted to talk. We came home and had lunch and then chatted with the other missionaries for a bit. We went over to the рынок and we bought ourselves some decent blankets that we can sleep with now. They are fairly nice they should be warm. We met with Илья right before the meeting and talked about how we can make собрание миссионеров better. We had some good ideas, and hopefully all will go well there from now on. So, we then had собрание миссионеров which went well and the work is going decently here. We headed to sport and that was pretty fun. We played basketball as usual and had a good time finally doing something physical. I am dead tired now, but it was worth it and I am going to be in better shape because of it. So, we should have a decent one tomorrow, and hopefully all will go well."

"Today was decent day and it was good to be able to do some service. So this morning we had to head out to help the other elders bring all their crap back here to get all settled in. Well, it went alright and the Макаровы's were there and I guess that the land lady got the bad end of the deal because she cant have anyone live there until the 31st. We made it home and then we grabbed a bite to eat before we did planning. We ran through that fairly quickly. We should have a decent week, but we are going to be busy. We took off to do some service at this ladies apartment in our area - a grandma. We helped her to clean up her house as she has troubles to do all that she needs. Well, we then ran to changed before gong to see the Старостины who are doing well, and we did some magic tricks for them. It was cool and they enjoyed it. Tonight I ate a lot and so am getting fat. All is well though as we are working hard and having a good time. The work here is sure awesome!"

"It was a fairly good one today other than the fact that I am tired. We were on the train overnight and so didn't get all the sleep that was needed, but I will survive. So we got to the office this morning and then council got started and so that was cool. Everything went well, and the good thing was it all went as planned. We talked about how we can work better with members to get referrals and how to get the work going better. Well, Elder Christensen and I talked about how we can help Penza and decided that we need to work better with President in order to get things going. Well, I taught a bit about how to correct missionaries, and that went alright - i don't have a lot of experience. So, we then ate really well and after council I ate McDonalds so I ate too much. Tonight I got to see all the people that I served among in Samara so that was awesome. I love those people and love to see those whom I served earlier on my mission. It was truly amazing and I love them a ton. We walked to the vokzal and now we are just waiting and getting ready to leave. It is super boring here, but we have some good ideas on how to help, so hopefully we can implement them."

Boring
15 March 2006
"Another p-day of dwindling and perishing in unbelief. Well, we didn't have a ton of fun today but I am in a really good mood. So we went to write home this morning and the family seems to be doing pretty well. Not much news other than that. We went and bought several things for the coming week and we should live. We chilled at home for a bit before going to grab a bite to eat at the local трио пицца. That was good and we were walking around when we decided to just come home. We worked on nothing for a couple of hours. I solved the rubix cube and triangle cube so many times and it was crazy. I was super bored and p-days are not the most exciting. Tonight was English and then seminary. That was pretty cool and we had a good time. We had a good time chatting with everyone and I loved it. Well, we then came home and now we are getting ready to leave to Samara. I love being here and to serve the Lord this is truly his work!"

New
14 March 2006
"Today was a sweet day and I had a good time working. Well, we had to go on transfers this morning and so I was with the new guy - Elder Olsen and we went out contacting this morning. It was a lot of fun and we had some good success and talked with a lot of people. I had several memories come back of what it is like to be a new guy. There are a lot of things that have changed especially how I look on things right now compared to when I only came. The main reason is that I understand everything that is going on. Well, we went to see Раиса and that went well. She is doing pretty good and will try to read the Book of Mormon every day she said. We gave our passports for registration and then we came home and grabbed a bite to eat. We then switched back and Christensen and I went to see Максим who is doing well. We had a good time laughing with him and so that was cool. Well, we then ended the night with a meeting with Владик. That went alright but I guess that he has started to smoke again. He is really trying but just can't get rid of the habit. We had a good meeting and are going to be praying for him to stop smoking. We are now getting ready for p-day and hopefully all will go well that way, but we never have any idea what to do."
