"Talk about another sweet day - that is what we had today. This morning we were once again with the APs on splits. Things didn't seem like they were going to well but then 2 meetings worked out for us. One was for Elder Schwab and I, and we went to help Баба Нина told me over the phone that she didn't want to come to church anymore, and that she would not tell why. Well, Elder Schwab is a great elder and so he bore testimony to her of the truth, and the spirit was very strong. She committed to try to activity no matter how hard it was going to be. It was away awesome. Well, we then went and ate at Трио Пицца and that was really tasty. We ran to our house and then to change comps back. I fell on the meeting with Гарик (meeting 2), and that went fairly well. We thought we should have a meeting at 2 but the contact didn't show up. We went to the store, and then came home before we went to собрание миссионеров. That went decent before we went to sport. Well, we switched comps and Elder Anand went with me while Elder Steiner translated an audit. Sports was good, and there was a ton of people there again. I am dead, and I started fasting at 6 for Владик. It is hard, but it is sure worth it. Fasting brings great blessings."

Normal P-day
3 August 2005
"We are so boring. We don't do anything that is exciting. Life really sucks when you are the only 2 elders with p-day. I mean, it’s not like I am going to die, but it really is boring. This morning I didn't get up on time again because I slept very little last night. All I thought about was a missionary who will be here and how she needs to be here by Thursday to get set apart and then get to Moscow. It tortured me all night. Well, I wrote home, and that went well. The family is doing well, and there is no major news. My sister is going to move out for a while, so that is crazy. I looked at a bunch of pictures of the hurricane Katrina and things are crazy there. It is sad how much is happening. We were bored and didn't want to leave, and so I work more on the Access program. We finally left, and we went to the store and got some food for the next week. Well, it should be good, and I got a lot of good stuff. On the way home, rain came really hard and I was pretty wet. Well, it was all good and we went back to the office to make lunch. We had potatoes, chicken, and a salad type of thing. After eating we got all our things together and we came home where we layed down to sleep. I slept for about an hour and a half before President called and woke me up. He needed some help, so I did what I could. Well, I wrote a letter to Jeff and then I read a bit. We went to Площадь Революции. We sat and watched the people walk by and it was pretty funny. We were waiting for Юрий but he didn't show, so we went to see Степан w/o him. We heard all of the same excuses again about not coming and not being able to. We told him that he had to, and he agrees but then makes an excuse why he can't. It is frustrating but we just need to keep working with him. After the meeting we went on to the street and we were heard "Lady In Red" playing down by the Volga and we walked down that way. We stopped by the store and grabbed some stuff for tomorrow. We are of course fasting right now and I am having a good time with that - I actually enjoy conquering the body. I am fasting for Tom that he might realize that he has already found out that the church is true. I hope that all will work out for him. Well for being a boring day, I wrote a lot. I hope that tomorrow will be a good day and that all will go well. I love fast and testimony meeting and the spirit that comes from it. We will hopefully work well tomorrow and find some new people, but we'll see for sure."

Long Day
3 July 2005
"I am going to write less then usual because I am way hungry. I haven't eaten for 24 hours because it is fast sunday. It was harder than usual because I started so late last night, and we had to work today. Well, it was hard and I am glad it is almost over.
So today we had sacrament meeting, and that went well. I enjoyed it and I felt good - better than yesterday. I helped a lot and felt useful. Well, after the meeting we had to wait for President Колцов because Elder Bennett is the new branch secretary. We left and we met with Вячеслав. He is well, but he is still not committing to coming back to church. We then contacted a bit before stopping by to Степан for a few minutes. He keeps saying that he will come, but he doesn't come. We went to get him to come, but we got the same thing from him. He says he'll try (постараюсь). We then came home and I wrote President. I am now going to go eat and then tonight I will make something for the 4th. I feel much better today, and my attitude is a lot better. That helped not only me, but everyone else also I think. Well, I am going to eat, so I'll write again tomorrow night."

Fasting

"I have had a couple testimony builders today. This morning I didn't feel like working and we didn't work super hard. We ate lunch and we began our fast. Well, we walked around a bunch more and then came home and met our land lady. Well, I wanted to sleep, but I had a strong impression that we needed to get out the door. We left and while walking I remembered an impression that I had had earlier but let it pass. We went to a дом and knocked there. In a few minutes we had already given a 1st D right at the door of a great lady. We also gave away 2 Books of Mormon and talked with many interesting people. Well, it was a testimony builder of following the promptings of the Holy Ghost, and the power of fast. Fasting truly does bring great unseen blessings. The hard work is paying off, and I feel great! What a wonderfuly time to be a missionary. "

Fasting
22 March 2005
"We had a sweet day. We worked really hard and had several meetings. We made good food - pancakes and pizza and then we started fasting for an investigator in Сольнечный. We then went to a ladies house and had a spiritual thought. After that we went to Вика's and Олга's house - Smith's investigators. We had a good spiritual thought and then we went to Света Горина's house and Олег и Галина should have met with us, but they didn't. We then went to deaf FHE and that was way awesome. We played and it was fun as always with them. We are getting ready for p-day tomorrow, and so hopefully it will go well!"

Forgetful
16 September 2004
"Well, certainly the day ended off with a bang. We started the day by just talking with people, and it went all right. I forgot Elder Jensen's name when we were talking with one person on the street, but all turned out well. Tonight we meth with Лариса and ran a first with her. She is going to read, and we are meeting again on Saturday.
After that, we met with Юрий and wanted to run a 5th, but things didn't work out because he ran the встреча. He basically gave it all. He knew tithing, fast and all. It was awesome. He is moving in the right direction. In fact, he's ready.
Interesting how much I have adapeted already. The Lord has blessed me tons. Its such a blessing to me. I am so grateful to be able to talk and understand. This work is awesome!"
