"Today was a very interesting day and I feel so crazy. I don't know, it was just a good and bad day all in one. It was bad because I only have one more day left on my mission - well a few more, but one real working day. Well, we went contacting this morning and that went alright. I only have one more time. We then headed off to собрание округа - that went alright. It was awesome and I had a good time talking about the work and seeing everyone. We ran off and stopped by to see Баба Нина who is doing well. I absolutely love her to death and cried when I said my goodbyes. I feel like I really helped her out and I hope that she will continue to be active. We then went and had a meeting with Шавкат who is doing alright. He complained as usual, but I am going to miss him anyways. I love him. We ended the night on the branch apartment where we had my going away bash. It was awesome and I love the youth here. I am going to see them all tomorrow, but I will miss them. We just sat there and played and I will have some good pictures. We gave Анна Ф a blessing as she asked for it and so that was cool. She has a big test tomorrow and hopefully she will pass it. We are now home and I have a lot of people to talk with. I love this place."

Time Flies
16 April 2006
"It is coming to a close, and I can't believe it. Everything is going way too fast. It was my last Sunday in Russia on my mission. I can't believe it. We went to the meeting this morning I had mixed feeling. i don't know what to think. I had a talk about how we must become something and about the gospel makes us that. The gospel isn't just a part of my life but it is our very selves. Well, it was a pretty good talk and I was sad to say goodbye to everyone. I am going to miss people and I feel a part of the branch. So I will miss everyone here. We came home and we worked on packing - well I did, and I have all my stuff put away. I slept a bit as I was tired. We then headed out to Андре's place where we met with him for a while and had a good time. He is way funny and I like him a lot. It was cool, and then we came home. So, we are getting ready for tomorrow, and it will be crazy. I am super tired, but all is well. I don't feel as though I am leaving and I wish I did. Life is sure interesting right now, and it will be crazy in a few days. Time flies."

Sad
15 April 2006
"What an amazing day. It feels so good to be busy. I had a good time this morning and got my talk all ready for tomorrow. We then went and did contacting as always, so that was good. We then had lunch and ran off to see Изольда. She is doing pretty good and she is in the hospital right now. Well, we chatted, and I am sure going to miss her. We then went back to the center to look at pictures and go to собрание миссионеров. That went well and it was my last one. We chatted for a bit and then we quick like changed before heading to sports. We played for a while in b-ball - in fact over an hour and I was dead tired. Well, we played and then took off. It was sad and I am going to miss sports. It is so awesome to just be able to play. We are now home and getting ready for tomorrow."

Packing
14 April 2006
"Life is pretty good, and I feel a lot better. So we went out contacting this morning and that went pretty well. We had a good time and then we met up with Андрей and I gave him my discs. Well, he walked around with us for a bit before we came home and grabbed a bite to eat. We then did our planning session which was more like me packing and working on my talk while my companion planned. So we then chatted for a bit before heading to service with the other elders which was fun. We cleaned walls in a hospital and washed the floors. It was cool, and there were quite a few people there."

Headache
13 April 2006
"Today was a pretty good day, and I enjoyed it a lot. I had a decent time planning and studying. It was good, and then we went and had contacting. That went well, and as always we enjoyed it. We didn't have much luck, but that is part of life. So we had lunch and I started to think way too much. I thought about life here and about what it will be like. We luckily had service at Раиса's place and she is doing alright. We cleaned things up a lot there and so that is good. She is the funniest grandma that I know and I love her to death. I will miss her. After service we came home and I took my 15 minute power nap. That went pretty cool, and I felt a bit better after that. The best part was that I developed some pictures and so I have several new ones. We were at the scripture class and then молодежный вечер which went okay but there wasn't a ton of people there, so that was sad. My head hurt a bit, but it was all good."

Last P-day
12 April 2006
"Today was a pretty sweet p-day and it was my last one! I can't believe it. I was in a bad mood this morning and so that was no good. One of the main reasons is because the family didn't say a word about me coming home and so I felt really crappy. Just it was weird and right now I have all kinds of feelings that I just can't express and I am very emotional. After we wrote home we went to a few disc stores and that was pretty cool. I bought several discs and got what I wanted. We grabbed some трио Пицца and that was good as always. We came home and I grabbed a few zzz's as I was a bit out of it. I then got my discs all organized and that was way nice. We took off to take some pictures and so now I have several. We had English tonight and that was good. It was my last English night and so that is a little sad. Well, we looked at an apartment for the sisters and found one, and so that is good. Now we are home."

Scary
11 April 2006
"Today was a pretty sweet day other than I was dead tired. So we started the day with a meeting at a members house. We were doing home teaching with Анатолий Смолькин and that went well. So that was alright other than the fact that he repeated the Lord's prayer at the end. Well, I got back with Elder Christensen and we headed to see Раиса who is doing well. She had a good time with us, and I am going to miss seeing her. We then did one of the scariest things that I've done yet on my mission - we bought my train tickets home. It was a really weird and I feel weird. We went and looked at an apartment for sisters who are going to be serving here. We had a meeting then with Баба Нина and that was cool. I enjoyed it, and I love her a ton. She is an awesome lady. Well, then we went to the branch apartment where we had a meeting with Владик. He is doing alright, but needs some help. I love the guy to death and am going to miss him. He is truly awesome. We were then at the branch apartment for a bit before we left. Things are alright there, but I was dead and now I want to sleep. I almost forgot that I gave 2 blessing today and the spirit was very strong. I blessed Сестра Макарова and Люда Герасимова. It was awesome!"
