Christmas

7 January 2006
"Today was alright other than the fact that I feel as though I am dying. My desire to work seems to be falling off a bit. Today I was absolutely tired, and had a lot on my mind. I have thought a lot about being a zone leader, and how I would rather not do it. Just worrying about not only about myself, but about other missionaries also, and their future. I am holding my fast right now in behalf of them and to know how to help them. So, today we contacted a little bit this morning before we headed to the Christmas concert - I forgot that today is Christmas in Russia. We went to watch that, and had a wonderful time there. I was a bit tired, but it was cool. We then came home and ate chili and fried tortillas. It was really good.

I took a quick nap and then we headed off to one member where we read the Christmas story. We walked to Афина's place, and we had a really good time finding her not home. Маша и Аня were with us, but we got rid of them, and we came home to do some planning. We planned our next week and things should go well too."
