"Talk about a long day - that is what I felt like today. I am way tired as I woke up at 5 and it is now almost 11:30. The weather was really bad and so we drove for a long time. This morning we got there and immediately started everything. It was an alright conference, and I enjoyed it. I had to conduct her but it was still fairly good. We tried hard to think up new ways to find new investigators, but we are not exactly sure how. We are going to try several new ideas. Well, it was weird to be at my last conference and it just doesn't seem real. I can't believe how fast time is going. It is insane. I saw the other 2 guys that came with us, and they are doing well. I had a good chat with President, and he calmed me a git. He said that it will be hard, but that I just need to focus more. Don't worry about dumb things and just work. President is an awesome man and is truly inspired. So tonight on the way home from Engels we were in a really bad storm, but luckily we were safe. It was a long trip, but we are home now, and tomorrow will be a long one too."

Tired
17 February 2006
"Today was sure a long day. I can't believe how tired I am. We woke up bright and early this morning – 5 – and took off to Engels. So, we had a nice 4 ½ hour ride and it was fun. We got there basically at 10 and so conference immediately started when we got there, and all went well that way. I have to say that conference was good, but it was super long. There was a ton of trainings and it went a little long, but in the end it was all good. We had pizza for lunch and that was cool. We talked about planning and how we need to use time better. After conference I typed a talk in Russian that Elder Kotov helped me with. After that I saw a ton of people that I knew. Аня from Engels was there and somehow she remembered me. I also saw another girl that we were trying to teach. It was awesome. Not only that but then I saw Сестра Gugelskaya and that was awesome. She is a way awesome sister. Basically, it was awesome to see all these people. We finally left at 7 and we drove for about 4 ½ hours so got home about 12. I am going to die I am so tired. Tomorrow will be a quick one."

Crazy
16 February 2006
"I have to say that things are sure crazy around here. We have 4 other elders over here with us right now and so it is hard to concentrate. Also, Гладков is here trying to take some stuff, and I can't get him out of here. Well, he is way funny so that is good. Today we weren't home at all. We took off early this morning to help President out to take some stuff up to him – we carried up his new coat rack and helped him put it together – we got lunch for that. We then went to the store where we found a washing machine for the elders that are moving. We went to see Максим and talked with him for a bit about the Olympics, and I want to watch them really bad. We talked with him a little bit about the branch and how to help after which we went to get some Шарумы. We planned some training that we have to give tomorrow, and then I went with Гладков to a meeting with Мизюркины and that was cool. Алексей is a way good guy and he really wants to do what is right. I went back to the branch apartment and played some games and now we are here. Off we go to Engels tomorrow. It should be a blast!"

Good advice and food
18 November 2005
"Today was a pretty sweet day. We had a nice long time in the gazelle. We were in Engels for a Zone Conference and that was cool. It has been a long time since I was there, and I had a lot of memories come back. It was a good 2 months there, and I love to serve there. Victor - a guy that we contacted there - got baptized last Saturday, and that was way cool.
Conference today was a good one, and we talked a lot about крещение (baptism). That was way good and we learned a lot about how we can work a lot more effectively to prepare people for this important step in life. We have several investigators, but we don't know who is ready for baptism. We need to work with them and to help them a ton. I am excited to be able to have so much work.
We had Papa John's for lunch and that was way good. On the way home from Engels we stopped into Saratov and got ourselves some Шарума. It was way good, and it has been a long time since I have had such tasty food. On the way home, we talked forever and told a lot of jokes. It was a lot of fun, and we were all super tired. It was a nice long ride home, but we made it.
President gave me some good advice. He said that I should set a goal that I am striving for while I am here. I need to make a difference during my service here. It is something that I will be attempting to do, and I will have to think of what goal I want to set."

Shopping
11 October 2005
"I am pretty tired today. We spent very little time in the office today because this morning we were helping the Framptons to buy coats and to buy other thing. We took the long trip out there and everything went good. I worked my magic and talked things down a lot of them. There was one point that there were people yelling at each other because I was working my prices down so well. Nothing bad happened and we got Sister Frampton a couple coats. All I bought myself was a beanie as the one from last year is not that great. Well, after 2 hours my head hurt from so much talking and then Elder Jonsson bought a coat and I talked with a saleslady there who was really cool. We finally got out of there and stopped by to McDonalds for lunch. After we grabbed a bite to eat, I got a call that an elder lost his passport in Engels. Sister Sirova and I took care of things, and then I worked on copying General Conference. That was sure a pain, and I have the Relief Society session basically memorized. I didn't get done what I wanted, although I tried. We left to the branch evening and that went good, but put me to sleep as we watched a film - Legacy. I felt like sleeping. We are now home, and I am ready to lay down. I am sure tired and I think that the рынок really wore me out. A new day tomorrow..."

2 missing elders
18 August 2005
"Things were sure interesting today. We were in the office and I was going about my work when I got a call - '2 elders didn't get visas.' Well, I called Блинков and some other people. I talked with the elders and they will be here tomorrow so we will send them back gain this time to Estonia. Elder Wright and Smoot are the two elders so we will see what happens.
That's the crazy news for the day. We also went to do service this morning and that went well. We went back to the old beat down hospital and we cleaned up a little bit there. It is insane how bad of condition the place is in. Well, I talked with Sister Петунц for a little bit and and that went pretty well. She is cool, and we talked about Engels a bit and about all that is happening there. She asked me why I came on my mission and I remembered about when I went to EFY and how after that I had a great desire to serve and I knew that it is what I needed to do. Interesting how one event can make a huge difference. Sister П. came because she always wanted to from when she got baptized by the sisters. It was cool to remember. After service, we went to eat at Жили-Били. It was alright but nothing too amazing. We ate there with the APs. We went to the office and worked and then tonight we went to see an inactive lady named Елена and read with her as it is hard for her. I got some junk food on the way home and no I am here. Rain came today. That was nice to cool things down. I am very humbled to be here today after the visa incident. They may not serve here in a month and maybe they will never have the chance to come back into Russia. I am very grateful to serve here and know that this is where the Lord would have me be at this time."

New City, New Life
24 May 2005
"We have officially arrived in Samara, and we are living like kings. We are in an apartment that has 4 rooms and a kitchen. It is sweet - too bad we won't be here too long. Well, I said my goodbyes to the area there in Энгельс, and it was sad. We did some contacting (for good times) and then we stopped by to Тамара and got introduced to a great lady - Вера. Well, I did a little packing and then Роман - Водитель Миссии - came at about 4. I said my goodbyes to Ст. Smoot, and then we took off. It was about a 4 hour drive to get here, and so we are relaxing. Elder Bennett is the new comp, and he seems like a good guy. We hope that all will go well in the office and that we can work hard. I am sure going to miss Энгельс, but I guess that life goes on so I will work hard here, and try to enjoy it."

Great Love
23 May 2005
"I am sure going to miss this place. It is truly an awesome city. I said goodbye to tons of people, and it was sure hard. We did some contacting this morning, and that went well. We ate, and then went to Ирина's house. She is truly a great lady. I have never taught such a person on my mission. She is very intelligent, and every kind, and truly wants to know truth. I cried a bit saying goodbye. Well, we then went to see Татияна and Саша for the last time. This is another great lady. How I will miss this city so much. The people are so awesome. I was only here 2 months and I love these people tons. Брат Stoddard talked about the love he felt for the people after about a year on his mission, and I am having those same types of feelings. These people are so awesome, and I truly love them. What a joy to have served the people in Энгельс. I will remember this city forever. We ended the night at Анатлоий's and Албина's. So all in all, it went fairly well. Tomorrow I head off to Samara so I need to get ready for that."

No Regrets
22 May 2005
"The bad news came late last night. I am headed to Samara to serve in the office on Tuesday. I was expecting the transfer, but not so quickly. Well, luckily I was able to talk in church today, and therefore that made things better. I gave a talk, and I think that it went really well. Well, after the meeting we went with Борис and I apologized to Оксана for offending her, and it actually went pretty well. Later, we did a lot of walking and then we stopped by to Сергей Любимеко to say goodbye. He is awesome, and he works on his genealogy work so diligently. If only everyone would do there genealogy like that. I have thought a lot about Энгельс and how I will miss the people and the work. We had little success, but my mission is on the right path and I worked harder here then I ever have on my mission. I definitely have no regrets, and know that I was blessed to serve here. I love the work of the Lord and to served these people. I want to stay on this track the rest of my mission."

Motions
21 May 2005
"We survived the day. I don't know what's wrong with me but I just had no energy. I didn't feel much like working but we got out and worked. This morning I prepared for my talk tomorrow and then we ate. We just went to different addresses and contacted all day. We did stop by to Ирина and drank чай with her. She is such an awesome lady, and we love her to death, but she just won't change. Tonight we did get to meet with Евгения and had a good talk with her. We also made chocolate revel bars today. We are just going through the motions right now. It's pretty hard right now."

Sun Tan
20 May 2005
"We made a good addition to our sun tan today. That's basically all we did - walk and walk. We did give away 2 Books of Mormon to spice things up a bit. This morning we planned our week and that went fairly well. Later we did all our walking, and that wasn't too bad. Well, we came home and rested a bit before heading to a meeting with Ольга и Алена. That went well. I have been working hard on my talk for Sunday on the Atonement. I hope that it will go well."

Sun Death
19 May 2005
"A long day always seems to follow a great one. I think I'll just list some of the joys for the day: Our only meeting of the day with Ирина fell through, no one was home, we walked in the deathly hot sun for over 6 years (did I mention it got super hot today), we talked with only a few interested people,got beat up...lol. Well, it wasn't bad at all, and actually those are several of the joys of the mission. We did have english lesson tonight, and that saved us. Back to work tomorrow..."

School Memory
18 May 2005
"I felt like a missionary today. We had a full night and we were able to have a couple of good meetings. We met with Вадим и Алеса this evening. This is a couple that we have tried to meet with for a month and it finally happened. Well, we then went to Татияна's и Саша's and had a good time there as always. Earlier in the day, we played ping-pong awhile and wrote home before going to McDonald's like usual. Also, I sent my brother a few pictures and things for his b-day. I can't believe I am almost 20. Life sure is moving fast. I feel like yesterday I was up on the campus listening to my music, and doing homework. What an awesome opportunity to be here."

Phone Death
17 May 2005
"It's already after 10:30, but I really wanted to write. The reason it's so late is because our phone doesn't work and we forgot to pay - well, we payed today. That means that we were at the other elders to let them know and all. Well, we didn't have much success tonight or today. We had english tonight, so that was cool. We walked a lot, but other then that, not much. We watched Вместе Навеки with a family, and it was alright. Tomorrow is already p-day again, wow how time flies!"

Working Again
16 May 2005
"It always feels good to help. I felt like we had a very successful day. We planned this morning and then we had a meeting with some members - Татияна и Руслан. We went to Ирина and had a meeting. That went all right. She has really gone weird. She is at least reading. Well, we then came here and I took my boots to Давид - a guy we met a while back. He sure is interesting. Well, we ended the night with Сергей, Албина, Анатолтий, Света, и Денис. It was fun to be there and talk with them. I love missionary work, and I am very greatful to serve the Lord."

And more conference
15 May 2005
"The day just flew by again. I don't know where it went to. We were once again in Saratov and we were on conference. It was sad how few people were there. Well, I was a little sick still today, and it was hard to concentrate on the talks. I basically couldn't breathe although it is a lot better now. Well, we came home after talking with people a bit, and then I did catch a few Z's. We did meet with Владимир (beard, prison) and I realized that I wish I knew about other religions - where there from and such things. Well, it was sure interesting. Now, I am getting ready for bed. I need to get a few calls in and stuff before that. Well, the rain put a killer on the day, but I survived. I am excited to work again tomorrow."

More Conference
14 May 2005
"It was another quick day as we spent the entire day in Saratov again today. Well, we did contact a bit today this morning, before coming home to eat. We then took off to conference with the elders for district conference. Well, I am sick and I can't think straight so conference was hard. Well, tonight Elder Nava and Юмена (Umena) are here with us, and so that's about all for tonight."

Conference
13 May 2005
"Conference is always such an awesome experience. I love it so much. I feel so much better about work and about being a missionary. We left early this morning to Сольнечный Район there in Saratov. It was awesome to see so many people and to be able to have a good time talking with all. For conference, we talked a lot about the Restoration. It was such an awesome conference. We got a lot of good ideas, and we learned a ton. It was nice to talk with President and get his support. He is a great guy and very spiritual. After a long day, we came home and are getting ready to go to bed. I love serving the Lord, and can't wait for tomorrow."

"It was certainly a quick day. I feel like we are not getting anything done. We contacted as usual, and that sure didn't bring many results. We did have a meeting with Ирина that went pretty well. We explained her everything about stakes but it didn't make a lot of sense. Well, we then had english and that went fairly well. After english, we stopped by to a couple of addresses, but nothing came of it. Well, we are tired and getting ready for conference tomorrow. We did talk to a super crazy lady today. She wouldn't listen to our ancestors, and when she found out that we don't wear a cross, she just about died. What an experience. If people will just understand."

Quick One
11 May 2005
"Another quick one flew by. We played b-ball and that was a lot of fun. Later, we wrote home and ate before getting my butt kicked in bowling. We played ping-pong, and then we met with members this evening. We talked about missionary work with them, and I thought about how I love being here. What a blessing it is to work with members. I love the work!"
