Real Work

9 September 2005
"I had a good experience today that I will write about here in the end, but it turned out to be a decent day. We were able to study this morning for the full time, and that was really nice. The Zone Leaders - Lister and Andelin - came over this morning so that they could take showers - they don't have any water. We chatted with them for a bit and they distracted us from studying but it was all good. We then took off to the office where all the fun began. I started to work on a "to do" list that I had made and that went fairly well. I finished writing up my Line of Authority and so now I have that to show people. Well, I also worked on getting things together for MEC on Monday so that I would have less to do. I worked with Blinkov on some things and then I tried to find more to do before we ate lunch - spaghetti and sauce. After lunch, I worked on doing a lot of translating and things for the future. I started to read a book about how to teach better (Teaching, No Greater Calling) and I fell asleep for about 10-15 minutes. I worked on some more random things and I felt like just sitting in the office all night as Elder Hunsaker and VanHouten are still here. I thought more and more and wanted to sit and go nowhere, but then I felt impressed to go and so we had a meeting with Вячеслав. It didn't turn out great, but afterwards I felt great and I was really happy. What a wonderful feeling to be out and about and doing real missionary work. Tomorrow is p-day, so it should be fun!"

Bulgaria and Basketball

16 June 2005
"Today was awesome. Once again it just flew by, and I didn't get as much done as I should have, but it was cool. I had to call Bulgaria today, and again tomorrow. I need to find out if they have a branch in one of the areas in Yugoslavia. We didn't do much else besides that in the office. Tonight we went and played basketball for sports night. We just played with some guys on the street. They played good and they were way nice. We hope that we can talk with them again. Well, we then went to McDonalds to eat some ice cream and that was cool. We were with Elder Beck and Lister and they are way cool ZLs. Its cool to be able to serve with them. Not much else happened today and so it is off to work I go - well I guess bed actually. Anyways, another day flew by today!"

Teaching

12 June 2005
"It was a cool day. We had the meeting this morning and that went pretty well. I was very tired so it was hard to concentrate. Well, after the meeting, we met with Юрий and talked about going on a mission. It was cool to talk with him and about things that we need to do to get ready. Well, we came home and ate and that was way cool. I then went out with Elder Beck and Lister and met with a couple of their investigators. It was cool to be on a meeting today and to teach so much today. I love to teach the gospel, and know that this is God's work. I love this work. I am so grateful to serve here!"

Party

29 May 2005
"Sunday is a good day to do misisonary work as we found out today. Well, we went to the meeting this morning, and that was nice. We got to help out a bit, and we met some of our members. After the meeting, we came home and talked with Elder Beck and Lister for a little bit. We ate a big lunch and then got ready to go. Well, we walked for awhile and went to some members. We did a 1st lesson with a non-active member, and that was awesome. Well, there was some kind of party out on the square because today is День Города. Well, for tonight I have to go, but on to tomorrow."
