Skipping

9 March 2006
"Things went fairly interesting today. This morning we were sitting here studying and there was a ring at the door. It was no other than Андре. Basically he was skipping class and needed somewhere to chill. We chatted for a bit, and then we went and contacted with him for a bit. It didn't go to well in a 3-some and snow was coming down but we tried. Well, we came home and grabbed a bite to eat before we headed to see Раиса. Маша was with us for that, and things went fairly well there. She still is having a hard time with smoking and is not sure how to quit. She said that she is smoking less though, so that is a good thing. Well, we then went over to see Баба Нина and all is going well for her and she is happy. We had a meeting before taking off to buy tickets for us to get to Samara next week. We came home and chilled before we went to the branch apartment for service. We cleaned everything up really well, and then we were sitting there when they started to listen to all kinds of music and just chill. Well, I went to the kitchen and just sat and thought and then prayed so that the Lord would help me to do something. Well, I went in, turned the music off and asked what we were going to play. Well, it went way awesome and we all laughed and had a good time. It was truly an answer to my prayers and it was a great strength and reassurance from the Lord that he is always willing to support those whom he calls. Tomorrow with Anand and then Christensen will be here!"

P-Day

9 March 2005
"It was a relaxing day today. We wrote home this morning and then went to star music and looked around forever. It was awesome. I love those music places, and I could spend all kinds of money there. Luckily, I only took 3 cds. Well, we ate at McDonalds and then we got stuff at the rionik and came home. We had FHE at the Семёнов's house but only we were there. It was fun and went well. We talked about doing missionary work. We just got home and I am ready for bed. It snowed all day and so everything is very white and pretty. It is awesome. Back to work again tomorrow..."

Conference

29 December 2004
"We were at conference all day and then at a baptism in Сольнечный. It was pretty good – conference that is. We listened as usual and had a good time, and then we all shared our testimonies as usual and we at pizza for lunch and that was awesome. We were on the baptism and that was way awesome. The best part was the musical numbers. I love music and that was cool. We were at Айдаровы's for a bit but not much happened there. I received a huge package from my Mom and so now I have a lot of good food. It was awesome. I love it!"

Fun Day

15 December 2004
"Talk about an awesome day – that would be today. We had a lot of fun. Elder McCain and I took off super early to write home and that was good. I found out that I have a new niece – Амара – and that was good news. Well, we went and ate at McDonalds and that was tasty. We went to a nice place and bowled. It was so fun, and I did way good – 140! Well, we were still not satisfied and so we played pool together. After all of that, we went to 3rd Дачный and checked out all their things. I bought an Enya MP3 disc, and that is nice to listen to. After all was said and done, we came home and slept before the english lesson, which we taught for a couple other missionaries. All in all a good day. Elder McCain and I talked tonight and he told me not to get lazy like him – he said that I shouldn’t be a stickler about all, but that I should just work. It was good advice, and it was good to get to know him better. He’s a good guy, and just got lost earlier on in his mission. I plan to keep focus in order to have a successful and enjoyable two years here in Russia!"

Elder McCain told me that he got lost earlier in his mission, and that I should be careful not to.

Bush

5 November 2004
"What a mood I am in today. I honestly don't know what it is, I just don't feel all that great. I have been tired most the day. We didn't do much, but we did have english lesson. We played American music for them, and it was awesome. It made me think a lot about all my music, and made me miss it, but it was fun to explain to them! Also today, we were in the internet club to plan our lesson, and we found out that Bush won for President. It was way close, but yeah - he'll still be President when I return home. It's crazy how things are here too. It gets dark at 4 or 5 and we have to work. Sometimes it's hard, but the Lord will bless us as we do so! I guess that's all for now, but of course I'll write again tomorrow like always."
