"Today was a pretty cool day. We had a good time contacting this morning and talked with a lot of people. We even talked with a guy who was going to get us the phone number of another American here in the city. We headed to the branch apartment for district meeting tonight and we had a decent time there. We have good missionaries and I am really glad to be working with them. Well, we had pizza on tortillas and it was pretty good. I chatted with Elder Schwab for awhile about the work and our missionaries here, and i love to talk with him We then went to see Баба Нина and she is doing well. I love her to death, and it is great to be working with her. We then went to see Шавкат and we had a good time with him. He talked a lot about his family and about the problems that he has . We came home, and now we are chilling . Today was a sweet day and I feel good about being a missionary. I love the work a ton. I talked a ton with Маша и Люда today and they are doing well. They are keeping me sane I think - all the youth that is. I love them to death and what a joy to serve here."

Desire to Succeed
6 March 2006
"I am sure glad to be in my shoes right now. My comp has his last day waiting for him tomorrow. He is going crazy. I think. At least we worked a bit today and had a good time. This morning we got out and contacted as usual, so that was way cool. We met a guy that knows Андре Кириленко and we talked a bit with him about b-ball. It was pretty cool. We headed out to the other elders house where we had собрание округа. I talked a bit about what Elder Schwab asked me yesterday - he asked what keeps me going and wanting to work? I thought a lot about it and I guess the biggest thing is the desire to succeed. I don't want to have that feeling of not having success on my mission. Well, I talked with the elders a bit about it today, and I think it will be all good for them. We then headed off to the store to buy a few things for Elder Steiner as he is leaving soon. We decided to head to the FHE for the grandma's and that was pretty cool. We talked with them for a bit and watched Восстановление. I talked with Schwab for a bit again and all in all it was a good evening. We are now getting ready for the last big day. It should be fun!"

Counter Strike
27 February 2006
"Today turned out to be a fairly good day. We wanted to do some contacting and so we got out and did that which we wanted. It actually went all right, and I can't complain. We didn't have any big successes but nothing to complain about, and it was nice to work. We then went to the почта and paid for our phone and then headed to the other elders house where we had собрание округа. It went well, and then we chilled for a bit and it was cool. I talked with Schwab for a bit and that was fun. He is a cool elder and I like to talk with him. We then headed to a meeting with Любовь Заря and that went well. She is a great lady and she said that she would come on Sunday, so that was good news. We went with Андре to his place where he showed us some crap on his computer but as soon as Counter Strike came up, I decided it was time to go. tomorrow we should have a good day and I hope that all will go well."

Better
24 February 2006
"Today was a lot better day than yesterday. We had stuff to do, and we did it. It was cool, and we had a fairly successful day other than the crappy news from Афина that she could rather not have any lessons with us and doesn't want to go to church. It was really bad there today. This morning I chatted with Elder Scwab for a bit and that was cool. He upped my spirits and then we had our planning session. That went well, and we had a good time talking about our investigators and how to help them. We ate and then we headed out for an adventure. We went in search of some members and we had some luck in finding them. We walked a ton and we thought we would never find this place, but we finally did and we had a nice chat with the lady there. We then had the really bad meeting with Afina after which we went to see Старостины. That was awesome, and I love them to death. They are really good people, and they love to chat with us. We are now home, and I am tired from so much walking. I feel a lot better about the work today, and I love the feeling of being a missionary. The Lord lifts you up so much, and give you the energy that you need. I love to serve the Lord."

Changed
12 February 2006
"Today was a decent day. We had sacrament meeting this morning, and that was good. Владик was there as usual, and so was Раиса. We enjoyed the meeting, and it was a good time. After that, we stopped by to Алексей Гладков's and took some papers that need to go to Samara. We came home, and we made ourselves some decent food. We chilled around for a little bit and then we went to Андре's place. We had a little spiritual thought with them, and then we helped Андре out with his computer. That was basically all we did today. Tonight, I talked with Elder Schwab for awhile, and things went well that way. He is a good AP and I like to chat about how things use to be. It was way fun. Also, I have been trying to help Тома but she is trying to avoid me. That is not cool, and I will get through to her soon enough.
It is interesting to think how much I have changed on my mission, and how much I have grown. I talked with Schwab about it today, and we had a good time remembering what we use to be like. This truly is a wonderful time to learn and to grow. My mission has truly blessed my life."

Fasting
4 February 2006
"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."

Running
3 February 2006
"Today was a way sweet day. I am so tired, but we ran all over the place and we worked hard. This morning we got in to the city, and we came home. I wanted to sleep, but instead we went to the branch apartment and paid for it. We came home, and had a bunch of planning. I planned with Elder Schwab and then I planned with Elder Steiner. We had a good 2 hour planning session and we talked about all of our investigators and how to help them. It was nice to have a good planning session for a change, and it should make for a good week. Well, we then headed off after a good meal of hot dogs and mashed potatoes to a meeting with a doctor we had met several weeks ago. That was pretty interesting because he wasn't there. Well, we then went in search of a lady that Elder Schwab taught when he served here. We found her, and that was good to chat. She really likes to talk, and to talk about random things, but it was alright there. We quick like ran off, and we went to Андре's before we quick like ran to the branch apartment where we had a meeting with Владик. Talk about insanity. He talked about how it is written "Gods" in Abraham, and read a ton from the Bible. Elder Schwab and I basically just chilled not saying much, but in the end, things went well, and he is doing well with all. The Lord is blessing us to be able to teach such a person. I love to serve the Lord, and help his children."

Obedience
2 February 2006
"Today was an awesome day. We have so much to think about. We had an amazing совет today, and we found out some crazy things. It seems the the quorum of the 70 found out about some crazy stuff that is going on in our mission - sleeping little, watching all the movies they want, playing cards all the time, and basically just not missionary work. Well President get a special visit from the Area Presidency, and they got the problems worked out for the most part. Well, today we talked a lot about obedience and about how we can improve. President has not been too strict about it up to now, but he said he is going to be cracking down. We heard a ton about obedience, and I am ready to serve with all my heart, might, mind and strength. I don't want to let up. I want to finish strong. We were there for about 7 hours with a good lunch break. Well, I then typed a little of the pride talk before Schwab and I went to a meeting. Well, the meeting fell through, but we chatted with the Lunt's for awhile, and we had a good time. They are such wonderful people, and are always wanting to help. We are now waiting for our train and we will be back to Penza. The APs are with us, and we will be on exchanges with them the next couple of days. It should be a lot of fun!"
