Ain't no way they approved this...

 Bună bună!!

Highlights:

- Had a lit last pday with our Craiova group!! Pizza, donuts card games, and catching pigeons!!! 

- Had our regular lesson with Vlad on Tuesday... 🔥🔥🔥

- Went to visit our member family the Ions and then when we got back to the Church we were asked to join a last minute translation lesson! Basically these Elders in Germany were knocking doors and found this Romanian guy. They got let in but he didn't speak much German. So they knew someone in our mission and it then trickled down to us helping translate the lesson. It was a very cool experience for sure.

-Went to București for transfers!!! We also got to stay in an empty apartment with some other sets of sisters so it was fun to have a little party haha (jk we were all too exhausted to party) 

-Friday was transfers!! Because I'm ending training we had meeting with President and Sister Rucker and all of my MTC group. It was super fun to see everyone and hear about their training experiences! And after that I was officially done with training!! Craziness!!! 

-Then I got together with the one and only SORA REYNOLDS!!! Let's gooo! 

-We played some billards on Saturday

-I gave a talk on Sunday (don't be too impressed it was just reading out of Principles of the Gospel) 

-And now for THE highlight of the week... so Sora Olsen and I found and have been teaching our friend Vlad for a long time now. We been trying to get him to come to church, and he's wanted too, but he has a hard time walking there and has no other means to get there. Well on Sunday we get a call right after church from him and he's like "Where are you guys?" We tell we're at the church and he goes, "oh I think I'm here." We go outside and he was there!! He had walked all the way to church!!!!! What a miracle!! He did miss church unfortunately, but we decided to teach him anyway. The next lesson we had planned was about baptism... so after the lesson we invited him to be baptized and he accepted!!! The tentative date is July 1st and I could not be more excited for him!!! 

-Also like every 2 seconds Sora Reynolds and I look at each other and just go there's no way your my comp right. Ain't now way they approved this. Yeah let's just say we're excited about this next transfer.

Not-so Highlights:

-We missed our first train back to Craiova. It didn't come... really weird. But then we had to wait at the train station for 3 hours until our next one. Luckily though there were Elders there who also missed a train so we just vibed with them until our next one came. 

-The trains in Romania don't really have ac. So middle of the day, humid, summer weather + small inclosed spaces with no ac for hours on end... yeah you get the picture.

Funny: 

-Well I could have about 50 million moments on here from the last week, because I don't think I've stopped laughing. But one in particular was on Saturday we were walking back from Billards and there was a torrential storm. Now Reynolds and I were geniuses and left our rain jackets at the church, because well it was super hot when we walked to billards. Thankfully though all was not lost because Elder Swensen was a g and gave us his umbrela. The only problem is apparently neither of can hold an umbrella correctly, and there's no space on the sidewalk, because everyone in Romania believes the side walk to be a parking space. So basically one person could have the umbrella at a time. So Reynolds is running with it and the top caught a small hanging tree branch. I was walking behind and I swear it was like a scene from a movie. She struggling to get the umbrella unstuck and as she finally does the tree branch whips back and smacks me in the face. I was stumbling for second and as I was,  Reynolds was still trying to put the umbrella back up and hits me again in the face. We literally almost died laughing...

Gând Spiritual:

This week I realized the power in asking hear what the Lord wants you to hear. I often struggle in studies because I don't always have super specific questions I'm trying to answer. But this week I got thought to just ask to hear what the Lord wanted me to hear. The chapter I read was perfect and helped in places I didn't even realize needed help! So just because you're not pondering a specific question it does not mean that the Lord doesn't have something specific for you!!! 

Vă Iubesc!!!
