"Today was sure and interesting day. We wasted a lot of time, and then we had a really good time. This morning we got in from Samara and that was good. I tried to get some more sleep once we got home in but that didn't go so well. We then went and wasted a few hours at Gene's house. There is going to be a concert tomorrow and so the elders all got ready for that. We quickly left and stopped by to Subway and got some good food! We then ran off to an English lesson that we should have done.

There was 6 missionaries, 10 young ladies, and 1 малчик. The lights in the school had gone out and so we went to a little cafe - шоклад.ru. We talked with them forever on English and talked about why we are here and in the end it was way fun, but awkward. We hope there will be some new investigators because of it.

Tonight I had the opportunity to conduct a baptismal interview with a Вера Федоровна and that was awesome. This lady is great, and the spirit was way strong. Tonight we ended up just planning and got things worked out for next week and how we are going to be super busy! It will be awesome and we excited to work hard!"
