TRANSFERSSSSSSSSS

 Bună Bună!! 

Highlights:

- Lessons with Vlad and Mariana this week!!! 

- District council in person!! And the Probsts coming up (the senior couple in our district)

- The Probsts have a car so they agreed to take us to see this lady we've been talking to named Salomea. Our lesson with her was so good (we're definitely planning on going back) and I actually understood what was going on through the whole lesson!!!!!

- Finished Immigration work (finally)

- Hilarious visit with our member family the Ions

- Met up with this lady named Adela I met on a Harry Potter Facebook group (she's a g fr fr) and we gave her a Book of Mormon!!

- Visited an inactive member, she's super sweet and gave us cherries!! 

- Found the best donuts (at least for Romanian ones)

- Had a great discussion/lesson for Relief Society with Mariana and the Branch President's wife, Sora Brînaru.

Not-so Highlights:

- Well we spent another 5 hours doing Immigration work. But luckily it's all done now, we just have to wait for our visas. 

- Was super nervous about transfer calls and lost some sleep, but it's all good we straight chilling now. 

- Wednesday morning was a little rough for me. Let's just say I'm a massive clutz. We were getting our apartment checked that morning and I managed to break one of our two bowls, spill Oatmeal everywhere, and the list goes on...

Funny:

- This week we were waiting to get on the Tramvai and we're talking, and I see this lady physically moving closer to us to look at Sora Olsen's pamphlets. So Sora Olsen turns over and starts talking to her. The tramvai comes and the lady is still talking to her, and then all of a sudden she gets really snobby with Sora Olsen. She kept asking if Sora Olsen was Orthdox (even though she is and should know that we're not), asking what church she was baptized in, and then just exclaiming that she wants nothing to do with Sora Olsen. But what you got to understand about this is that the tramvai's here are literally dead silent, and this lady was basically screaming... so the whole tramvai is watching this. Anyways so then this other lady nest to the mean one is trying to talk over her and is actually interested in learning more so the noise gets louder, and then all of a sudden from the very back this hard core Orthdox lady starts yelling at the other mean Orthdox lady to stop being rude to Sora Olsen. It was literally the most hilarious thing, because Sora Olsen was literally standing there in the middle of this train fight and she literally hasn't said more than 2 words. It was so good haha.

Transfer news...

Alright the moment you've all been waiting for (or maybe not but that's ok)

I am staying here in Craiova and...

Sora Reynolds is coming here!!!!!! 

I'm beyond excited (Sora Reynolds was in my MTC group) this next transfer is about to be a party!!! Yayayayay!!! 

Gând Spiritual:

This week I was reading this talk called "The Fourth Missionary" (its absolutely a fire talk if anyone wants it lemme know) and I really liked this quote from it

"Every challenge you face, every hard thing you confront, every bad thing that happens to you, every unfairness, every conflict, every sadness, tragedy, every disappointment and heartache, every temptation and every opposition happens for one purpose only: to give you opportunity to respond by applying in your life the teachings of Jesus."

I really love the word "opportunity". This whole life is an opportunity for us to learn and become better. And although the hard things in life are, well, hard, if we can try see the end from the beginning we can make the best of the experiences we have here. We become the best version of ourselves because of these experiences and through Christ!

I hope yall have a great week!! If you ever have any questions or anything feel free to ask!!! 

Vă Iubesc!!
