Do it

24 January 2006
"We had another sweet day today. I still feel like a good missionary. We didn't have a whole lot to do, but we decided to go out and contact this morning, and stop by to some addresses. We had good luck that way, and set up a few meetings with people and found out some numbers that have changed. Well, we then stopped by to a contact who had ordered a Book of Mormon. He had a map of Utah and it was crazy to look at. He mainly just wanted to chat with Americans, but said that he would go ahead and read. We quick like came home, and made a nice big soup for lunch. Usually I don't enjoy such things, but it was good. After lunch I took a power nap and then we went to Шавкат's place. He absolutely ripped on president, and it was insane. He said how President Макаров was a bad person and how he should be helping and not just doing nothing. I told Шавкат that president was called of God and that I would not 2nd guess his decisions. We heard this for awhile before we finally conducted the meeting and moved on. We had a meeting with Владик to finish the evening and it went well. He accepted everything that we taught him, including the Word of Wisdom. He has a strong desire to quit smoking, and he is trying to do so right now. We prayed for him last night, and will continue to pray for him as he gets rid of the habit. I know that he can do it, and I hope he can do so!"
