"Today was pretty sweet day, and we didn't really do anything. We kind of just took it easy. This morning, we cleaned up the apartment and got things in order around here. We took off and wrote home where things are going as usual. My sister is moving back home for a bit, and BJ is working well. We wrote home and all went well that way, and then we took off and bought our food for the next week or so. We went to the branch apartment where my come helped Маша with her computer, and I worked on cleaning the joint up a little bit. It was really bad there, but it is a lot better. Well, then we ate at Трио Пицца and they had the Olympics on (cross country skiing) and we glanced every now and then. It was way sweet and I love the Olympics. After that we stopped into a book store and did a lot of looking around. It was cool and then we had English. We ended the night that way, and it should be a good one tomorrow. I feel a bit better today, and hopefully my headache will disappear once we start to work again."

President Peiper
27 August 2005
It was a fairly good day today as we have been chilling and relaxing. I won’t do too much like I wrote yesterday as that was just an experiment to see how it would look there. Elder Pritchett wrote like that but I don’t write near as well as he does so that is too bad. Anyhow this morning we got up and cleaned the apartment up a bit – it was in great need as we haven’t for about 3 weeks. We got it all picked up and we did our laundry and I did my reading and stuff that I always do, and then we went to the office – here I would guess that means. We wrote home as always and I got to talk with President Piper a little bit as he was here for an interview for a missionary. Well we talked with him a bit and that was cool and I wrote home and the family seems to be doing well. My brother sent me some stuff he said so I am waiting for that. Well anyhow we tried not to waste too much time here. We ran home and changed the laundry out and then we went to the store. I threw down a lot of money, but I will be eating well for the next couple of days, and besides I have the money, so why the heck not use it. Well the main thing that I got ripped off on was the fruits as I thought they would be really cheap but it turned out different. Well we came home and we made lunch. I got some energy and made some really good salsa and it will be even better tomorrow. We ate it with rice and with пельмени. We then took a nice long nap – for about two hours before we got up and had to run to the church where we had a собрание зоны. It was pretty good and we talked a lot about how we need to be one in our companionships and how we need to do the work more as the Lord wants. We talked a lot about planning and a lot about studying together and all. Well anyways, my comp and I don’t do this because we never know really and we don’t plan well even though I want to plan more and all. It is just hard and we need to do better on it. We do study together when we have time though so that is a good thing. Well after the meeting, we ate some stuff and I ate way too much, but it was all good and I enjoyed it. We came back here to the office to open the doors for a couple of elders and then we have to work on a disc to give to Elder Piper. Well he will get it we hope but we don’t know for sure. Things will go well tomorrow I think as we have some meetings with Blinkov. I hope that things will go better, and we shall see for sure. As for now I have to finish this disc for President Piper.

Heaters
23 July 2005
"P-days are always uneventful here. We always have little going for us. We always seem to get out of here with plenty of the time in the mornings. We went and wrote home and just relaxed for a bit while we didn't do much. We just sat and read and wrote. My brother is in Lugano and he seems to be doing well. He said that he can't believe how clean it is. I told him that I'd go to Italy and be shocked at how clean it is. Also the family is building a fort and so that should be cool. I am excited to see a picture of that. We went and bought some products today and then we went back to the office as we had a bunch of envelopes that we had bought. We ate some spaghetti and we just relaxed a bit there in the office. I wrote an elder that will be coming here soon (Elder Hardin) that had some questions about the mission. Well, we then came home and slept for about 2 hours before going to help Рима to do some ремонт. We carried some of the big heaters that they have on the walls down the stairs - we just about died and we found out how heavy those things are. We were sweating like dogs when we went to our meeting in our white shirts and ties. Well, the lady wasn't home, and so we went to Сестра Стальнова and had a short discussion with them and talked about the talk of President Hinckley from last conference. It is truly awesome to be here and to be sharing the Restoration. What a blessing - I love it. The gospel brings so much happiness! I love it!"

Thanksgiving!!!
25 November 2004
"Happy Thanksgiving!! Well, that's all we have thought about today. There's a long story for all, so I'll get started. Yesterday was -pday. We wrote home and ate at Позимь. Jeff got his call to Ecuador...and he goes in to the MTC Jan. 5. Anyways, so we got haircuts and all that good stuff, and then we had a meeting with Лена's friend Маша. She lived where Бела lived, so is way rich. She is way cool, and has a way cool daughter. She said she'd be interested to here more. That will be cool to meet with them again. Well, we finished way late there and it was by the центр. We just decided to sleep a the other's house.
Well, this morning we just waited till about 12 and went to a restaurant – Кама. We ate, and it was way good, but way expensive. Well, after the 3 hours there we went to Baskin Robbins. Now we are at home because Elder Kirk has to talk on Sunday. We have a meeting with Ольга и Настя Ермелайовы later, so I will write about that later.
Later – well, the night ended way good. We ended up stopping by to Наташа and talking with her. We then had a meeting like I said with Ольга и Настя. It was good. Настя talked in English with us and it was funny! They are such great people! I love working! It makes me feel good! Я скучаю по брату. Я очень хочу говорить с ним. Все-такие, только 19 месяцев еще!"

Preach My Gospel
21 October 2004
"Another good day today. It was p-day, so we did all the things we needed to as well as got haircuts. It was a lot of fun to hear from my brother, and to eat like always. Tonight we had a meeting with Ольга и Настя. It was a lot of fun. Nothing from Meagan again so I take it she is getting married or something - who knows.
Today we got the new Preach My Gospel books. It is our new everything, and I love it. I am excited to teach again, and know that the new materials will help. It focuses on the restoration, and I know that that is the most important part of our message. I have a testimony about it that I want to share with everyone! The gospel is true! I love it, and the opportunity to share that with people."

"Well, an all right day is over with. We didn't meet with a single person today. We stopped by to like 10 people, and no one was home. We also prepared our English lesson which went pretty well. We just talked about life in America. We did eat some Mexican food that we prepared today. It was very tasty.
Other then that it was a quiet day. I have to talk on Sunday, so I will be working on that. I am going to talk about the BofM. I know that it is true, and we must read it to gain peace and help! I love it!"

Working
25 August 2004
"Again I am absolutely dead. I don't know why as I had time to relax today. In fact a lot. We were able to write home today, so that was nice. I didn't get a letter from Meagan this week... The other Elder Tenney is doing well in Italy, and it sounds like he is having fun. The family is all getting ready for school and my Mom is just working.
We also ate, did laundry, and bought some things to eat. Tonight we were suppose to meet with someone but they backed out at the last minute. That meant we just talked with people. Then we had a meeting with Слава. We talked about the Priesthood and the responsibility of those who have it. It was a good meeting, and he will hopefully bless the sacrament this week! Other then that, not much happened, we're just working!"

Beautiful River
18 August 2004
"What an amazing day here in Samara. Elder Jensen returned, and had a good trip. Also, we got to write home and see how all were doing. BJ is doing well, and getting all settled in. We then went on a walk around Samara. The Volga river is awesome here. For lunch we ate at McDonalds, and it was of course good. We then returned home, and wrote and slept.
Tonight we had 2 appointments. I was with Elder Рэй and we went to a small little FHE with Сергей and Андрей. It was fun. After that, we met with Larissa. She was having a hard time. We gave her a blessing and I was able to anoint the oil. It was an awesome experience, and the spirit was strong. I know that the Lord will bless here if she has the faith. The priesthood is awesome."
