No Temptation

10 December 2005
"Today we had an interesting meeting with Афина. We talked about knowing the truth and about the importance of reading the Book of Mormon every day. She said that she wasn't ready for baptism because she has a pull to do wrong. We talked with her about how this temptation will never leave and that she needs to be strong. It was interesting hear her wish to get baptized only when there is no temptation. I think that we all wish that we could have something like that but it will never happen. Also, her cousin Роза was there and she is the cutest little girl ever - she is 9 and is tiny. It was so awesome to be there.

This morning we went contacting with the APs and that was cool. We also ate some German Pancakes that were tasty too. I was with Котов and we talked with a ton of people. They then left, and we had our sports time. That was pretty cool as we walked up a big hill, and looked out over the city. It was cool, and the view was amazing. We hurried and made it on собрание миссионеров which was sure interesting. It seems that people are really starting to hate how things are going in the branch because they are voicing a strong opinion. They don't completely understand the importance of strengthening the branch by doing all that they can. I am not sure how to help them, but we need to do something to get them more excited, and so that there was excitement in the branch."
