"Today was a sweet day. We had a hard time staying awake but worked hard and had some good luck. We talked with some interesting people, and hopefully all will work out well. So, then we came home and headed to собрание округа at the other elder's place. It went well and we had a good time there. The other elders fed us too, so that was sweet. I had to do some talking with the other elders as they are having some problems and so I chatted with them about it. It went alright, and we hope that they can change their actions. I don't really love to correct missionaries but that is my calling and the Lord is helping me to fulfill my calling. So we came home before going to Шавкат's place. It went better than I expected and Мариям said that she would come one more time to the meeting. We then went to the Сорокины's house and talked about missionary work. It went pretty well. They are great people and it was awesome to work with them. We are home once again, and trying to get to bed. I am dead tired, and hopefully I will feel better tomorrow. I guess we shall see for sure."

Crazy
26 March 2006
"Today was a decent day, but I was dead tired. We changed the time forward and so lost an hour of sleep. Well, the meeting went well and we had a good time. Владик bought a new white shirt and wore that today. He is not smoking right now, but he says it is hard. We are praying for him. We then went and chatted for a bit before coming home. Here we grabbed quick bite to eat before we took naps - we would have died if not I bet. Well, we then went with Гладков to Баба Катя's place and had an interesting meeting with her. She is sure crazy. So, we then chatted with Гладков a bit and had an interesting time that way finding out about members and how to help them. Well, we then came home and have been getting everything ready for the coming week. Hopefully all will work out better this week, but we shall see for sure."

"Today was a pretty good day, and once again we have a refrigerator. So, we went out to started to contact when we found out that they were bringing over the refrigerator so we quick like came home and then we went to grab a bite to eat before we started planning. So that went fairly well, but nothing too amazing. We should have a good week as is always the case. Well, we chilled for a bit and I took a quick power nap. That felt really good as I was super tired - we didn't get a hole lot of sleep. So, we went to the branch apartment for собрание миссионеров. That went really well and we had cake afterwards that was awesome. So, we came home and then went to sports. That was fun and we played for a nice long time. I was super dead and I want to sleep."

"Talk about a long day - that is what I felt like today. I am way tired as I woke up at 5 and it is now almost 11:30. The weather was really bad and so we drove for a long time. This morning we got there and immediately started everything. It was an alright conference, and I enjoyed it. I had to conduct her but it was still fairly good. We tried hard to think up new ways to find new investigators, but we are not exactly sure how. We are going to try several new ideas. Well, it was weird to be at my last conference and it just doesn't seem real. I can't believe how fast time is going. It is insane. I saw the other 2 guys that came with us, and they are doing well. I had a good chat with President, and he calmed me a git. He said that it will be hard, but that I just need to focus more. Don't worry about dumb things and just work. President is an awesome man and is truly inspired. So tonight on the way home from Engels we were in a really bad storm, but luckily we were safe. It was a long trip, but we are home now, and tomorrow will be a long one too."

Spins
23 March 2006
"Today was a good one. We had a lot going and did a lot (That makes no sense what I wrote there). So this morning we went out and contacted and that went pretty well. We talked with several people and then we came home and grabbed a bite to eat. We then ran off to a meeting with Мизюркины that went fairly well. Ирина was with us so that was cool. After that, we stopped by to see Наташа Фаюстова and she is doing well. We invited her to come Sunday. So then we went to see Анатолий and we talked with him about receiving the Melchizedek Priesthood and he wants to got to the temple. We came home and chilled before we went to the scripture study class and youth night. It was a lot of fun and we had a good time playing. We are now sitting home and waiting for pizza. Tomorrow we are going to Saratov. So, I am having a hard time concentrating each morning as my stomach just spins. It is hard, but I am trying."

Relaxing
22 March 2006
"It was a fairly quiet day and we had a good time. It was another p-day and so that was fun. We cleaned up this place a bit and so now we can live here nicely. We took off to write home this morning and that went well. The family is doing well and they are busy. They haven't said anything about my coming home, but I am sure they have been getting ready. We went and grabbed a bite to eat and that was cool. We ate a decent restaurant and I got my fill. We came home after awhile there, and just relaxed and slept a bit. Well, we were just chilling when we took off to go to the English lesson. Well, we then went and I helped a girl who didn't know a whole lot of English and Анна Ф. helped me out. We came home and we have just been chatting about the mission and how things are and how they used to be. So, I feel tired and I have to plan things for tomorrow. Hopefully we can do a lot tomorrow. I guess we shall see."

Faith
21 March 2006
"The days just seem to be flying by and I can't slow them down. So this morning we did the normal routine of studying and contacting, so that is cool. We then had a meeting with Раиса that actually went alright. Маша had a little fight with her, but I think that all will be good. Раиса is trying to do better and she wants to change her life but says she has little faith. I think that is one of my problems also is that I have little faith and so things don't work out for me. I don't know really what to do, but just work and hope the Lord will help me out. After that, we searched for a couple of addresses and didn't have much luck so just came home. Well, I fell asleep and so we were late in getting to our meeting. It was alright though as the meeting fell through - it was with a less active member. Anyways, then we headed to a meeting with Владик. That was cool and we have a baptismal date for 7 Апреля. He has some work to do, but we know he can do it. That is awesome and we are praying hard for him. We were at the branch apartment a bit longer and now we are home. Another p-day tomorrow...time if flying."
