Contacting and Knocking

31 October 2005
"I am really training my replacement. It is sure a weird feeling. I don’t know how much I like it, but I guess that is part of my job. We got in a great deal of studying this morning and I learned a bit about the gifts of the spirits. I wish I could have studied a little more, but I will find some more time later. We had time to then get out and contact that went well. I was with Elder Pantone, and we walked around and had a good time chatting with everyone.

Once we got to the office, things went well. I showed Elder Nava what I do and we got all the statistics typed in. He got it done after a while, but it was a bit of a slow process. We then had собрание округа and that was way cool. I love to be with the district, and it is always a lot of fun. We did a lot of practice and all in all it went well. We finished and then we went back to work. We started to get things ready for the departing missionaries and that took a while. We grabbed a quick bite to eat and then we worked some more. By about 6 we were gone and we walked for a while and just talked. That went well, and then we decided to knock. Elder Nava was scared a bit, but in all, we had a good time. We then walked home, and now we are home. Elder Nava will do great here. I am excited for him, and glad that he is here on my place!"

Arguing

7 July 2005
"I decided that it is way cool when there is people in the office - other missionaries I mean. It gives us a chance to get out and to work and meet more people then we would normally be able to. not only that, but we can see how the elders are doing. it is cool to be out on the street. So this morning we were here with Pantone and Wellman, and it went cool. Elder Pantone is way funny, and he's a lot of fun to be with. We went to the office, and I began the craziness. It was sure insane. I just typed and worked on getting everyone into a database that is set up to keep track of where people are serving. Well, I also have been calling all the President's in the districts to find out about money for youth conference. Well, it is kind of crappy but I guess someone has got to do it.
SO we ate a way good lunch today that the Assistants made. It was pizza, but there was bacon on it, and they had some ranch dressing that they made. Wow it was way good. So tonight we got to work. I was with Elder Pantone and we went to a member. She invited her friend over and we thought we would teach her a lesson, but it turned out that she just wanted to argue with us. It didn't go to well, but it was funny. I was laughing when she talked to us because she basically told us we were idiots. Well tonight I have more work to do for the youth conferences so I better get calling more people again!"

Back to work

6 July 2005
"We actually got out and worked tonight. It was nice. The only reason was because Wellman and Pantone from Saratov were here a day longer than we planned on. Well, me and elder Wellman went and we contacted for a bit tonight and it actually went fairly well. People were way nice and we had a good time talking. We actually got another address tonight so that was cool. It was awesome to be able to contact again - it felt like old times. We stopped by to Баба Нина earlier in the day and that was cool. She is one of the coolest grandma's that I know. So after that we came home and finished my cake so now I don't have any more. I guess that's part of life.
This morning we did have a good time because we were able to study. It was nice to have the full time to get ready for everything. Well, in the office I started on all the stuff that President gave to me. Wow, it is insane. I have so much that I have to do. On top of all that, now I have to get stuff ready for transfers. It sure is crazy. Today also, I saw Юлия и Маша from Ижевск! Wow! It was way awesome to be to see them. I miss Izhevsk and it was way awesome to see them. So the bad news is that Tom gave us a фиг. He wasn't able to come for some reason so that kind of big time sucked. Hopefully we can meet with him sometime again, but who knows. Maybe on friday. So other than that, not much happened. It was a cool day, and it was nice to work. I love to work."
