Bună Bună Tutor!!!
Welcome to the "cuptor" (oven) month!!! That's right, hot buses, hot trains, hot walks, hot apartments, and the lovely smells that accompany all of the above!! What's not to love???
All joking aside, it's been a hot, tiring week, but still an absolute blast!!!
Highlights:
-Târgoviște!! Super cool town, castle/fortress, and it apparently used to be the capital of România! What an adventure!!!
-Pitești exchange!!! We had a Fourth of July dinner on Monday night, first weekly zoom meeting with the Fowlers, had a bomb day of streeting around Pitești, made a chocolate cake, had English class, ate SHAORMA with this awesome member named Robert and while we did this we sang "I'm proud to be an American" with him, and to top it all off we had a dance party on the massive patio of the STLs apartment. It was a whirlwind to say the least.
-I officially got my permis, so I'm legal now!!!
-Talked to some really cool people streeting, and just traveling from place to place. Nothing has really gone anywhere with any of them yet, but it was nice just to have good wholesome conversations!! (Also one of the has declared that she is now our Romanian aunt, so that's lit!!)
-Met with the Ion family!! Always a pleasure!
-Got a ping pong table for our building!!!! (This has been at least a few transfers in the making)
-more SHAORMA!!
-New flavor at our favorite Gelato shop!! Biscoff!!! Literally so freaking good!!!
-Had three people at games night!!! That's new record!!! Exciting!!!
-I made homemade sweet pork enchiladas for our Sunday dinner, and they were amazing!!! Shout-out to my mom for all the recipes she keeps sending me haha.
Not-so Highlights:
-Well I already mentioned the heat, and most places here don't have ac either we just burning up around here. (I would not have made it as a South America missionary)
-Târgoviște and our exchange was super fun but all the travel takes a toll, and we were definitely feeling it a bit this week.
-Language is still hard. It makes all of our other work even harder. But we'll get there, and for now we'll just keep on keeping on.
Funny:
At games night I mentioned we had 3 people there! It was great but... they were 3 very different people. One was this older guy who lowkey not all there, the other was a 35+ year old who is obsessed with board games and the last was a college student. Then throw in 4, 19-20 year old missionaries... haha it was an interesting experience, but super fun nonetheless. As soon as everyone left Sora Reynolds and I were just laughing and what we experienced.
Gând Spiritual:
"However late you think you are, however many chances you think you have missed, however many mistakes you feel you have made or talents you think you don’t have, or however far from home and family and God you feel you have traveled, I testify that you have not traveled beyond the reach of divine love. It is not possible for you to sink lower than the infinite light of Christ’s Atonement shines."
-Elder Holland
I listened to this talk this week and I love this quote!!
Vă Iubesc!!!
