"The news came late yesterday and it wasn’t all that great – I am leaving to Saratov to the дачный район, and Elder Alton will be here in my place. Well, I didn’t sleep well and today I have been kind of sick. Well, we were super busy so that helped, but I was still thinking about the transfer. We decided to help Стася with English, and so that was good. Well, we then ran to Лена’s house and watched her videos with her and met her friend. After chatting we headed off, and we went to find Наташа but of course she wasn’t home. We just went to our last meeting of the night with Ольга и Настя. Also Настя, the other waiting baptism, was there. That was the day, and it was good. I really don’t feel well, but hey, what can you do. I just need to get it in gear, and finish off these last few days."

P-day
1 December 2004
"We have another good one today! We wrote home to start out the day, and we were there for 3 hours – Elder Kirk and Watts wanted to know more about the Ukraine crisis. I resorted to playing Minesweeper. Well, after the adventure there, we went and ate, and then Elder Kirk and I came home and slept. Well, we went to visit Галина but she wasn’t feeling well. We then had a meeting with Ангелина и Лидия и Марина. That was way awesome! We talked with them about carrying on, and doing well! They are amazing!"

English Class
30 November 2004
"Well, we had a pretty good time today. We visited Юлия’s school – УГУ! We were there to talk with her class about English. After the class, we talked with Юлия about the baptismal questions! She is so awesome! I love her to death and she is so ready to be baptized! We came home, ate and then went to Book of Mormon study class. It was way awesome. We had a blast. Well, after that we came home and had a good time talking about a good missionary subject. It was a good day overall. Tomorrow is П-День еще!"

2 Quick Days
29 November 2004
"Another crazy couple of days. We were on another surprise sleepover at the other elder’s house and so couldn’t write yesterday. So we woke up Sunday morning and went to church as usual and Elder Kirk gave an awesome talk. He is very spiritual, and always brings the spirit. The best part of the meeting was when Сестра Лидия prayed – she is so humble! After the meeting, we went to Норья and had a good lesson there! Алексей was there and not happy to see us as usual, but I had a short talk with him, and things got a little better! Well, we came home, and had a quick decision to make, and so of course we stayed at the other elder’s place.
Today, we were there, and then we had district meeting! We talked about a lot, but especially about electronics – my favorite. Well, we came home, and then we went and searched for a Bible. We still didn’t find one – its like they don’t sell them here. Well, we went to a meeting with Наташа, Маша, и Юлия and watched Legacy. It was awesome because Наташа got permission form her husband to be baptized. She says when she is ready she will be baptized. Well, we ended the night and came home! I love to work! I think everyone does! It’s awesome!"

Kazan Trip
27 November 2004
"What a day! Tired, but still doing well. We were in Казань today for a zone conference, and it was very good. We heard a lot about the new program that we have, and the importance of it in the work. We also heard about how we are not eating very healthy – that’s not a big surprise. Well, the train was deathly hot to Казань, but was better on the way home! I didn’t sleep like I wanted to, but all is well! Маша Михайлова also came with us, so that was interesting. I got a package from my family, and it was interesting – well we almost finished the 3 pound bag of M&Ms which is disgusting! There’s a pecan pie there also, so we will see how that testes later. Other then that, not much is happening – conference was good, and soon we will be having transfers again."

Quick and Short
26 November 2004
" Not much got done today, but I feel all right. We left early to get a talk from the internet for him and then came home and ate. I made brownies – I was feeling ambitious – and Elder Kirk slept. Well, we left, and bought some boots and then we went to English. It was a good day, but now I am tired, and tomorrow we are headed to Казань."

Thanksgiving!!!
25 November 2004
"Happy Thanksgiving!! Well, that's all we have thought about today. There's a long story for all, so I'll get started. Yesterday was -pday. We wrote home and ate at Позимь. Jeff got his call to Ecuador...and he goes in to the MTC Jan. 5. Anyways, so we got haircuts and all that good stuff, and then we had a meeting with Лена's friend Маша. She lived where Бела lived, so is way rich. She is way cool, and has a way cool daughter. She said she'd be interested to here more. That will be cool to meet with them again. Well, we finished way late there and it was by the центр. We just decided to sleep a the other's house.
Well, this morning we just waited till about 12 and went to a restaurant – Кама. We ate, and it was way good, but way expensive. Well, after the 3 hours there we went to Baskin Robbins. Now we are at home because Elder Kirk has to talk on Sunday. We have a meeting with Ольга и Настя Ермелайовы later, so I will write about that later.
Later – well, the night ended way good. We ended up stopping by to Наташа and talking with her. We then had a meeting like I said with Ольга и Настя. It was good. Настя talked in English with us and it was funny! They are such great people! I love working! It makes me feel good! Я скучаю по брату. Я очень хочу говорить с ним. Все-такие, только 19 месяцев еще!"
