Hello family.
Well this week has been a crazy one
this week. But not crazy the way I like it. As you guys know, Elder Rasmussen
is leaving this week. Between us trying to plan and him getting ready to leave,
its been a little crazy. The elders that leave have to go down to Bucharest
early so because I'm companions with one of them, I'm dragged along with them.
At the moment I am in Ploiesti because we went to church yesterday and Elder
Rasmussen served here for a long time and wanted to visit before he left. He
has officially left me now and is on a train down to Bucharest. I get to stay
in Ploiesti with a few of the elders here for the next few days until transfers
on Wednesday. So yeah that what is happening to me right now. I’m basically
living out of a backpack for a week.
So last week during internet time I
wrote a lot and put it on a flash drive so that I could send it to you guys
today but I totally forgot it! Such a bummer so I will send it to you guys next
week with a bunch that happened last week. As for transfers I'm getting Elder
Cunningham as my new companion. Elder Cunningham was and is my district leader in
Galati so I already know him very well. All I can say is that it going to be a
very different kind of transfer with him. He has lost a lot of the mission fire
so hopefully I can get him back into shape. It’s definitely going to be a lot
harder but I’m going to work him to death and do some missionary work. I’m
excited and it is going to be a lot of fun. I love serving in Galati. It’s a
great city and I'm excited to stay another transfer.
As for the past few days in Ploiesti,
we went to church yesterday and it was super weird because there’s actually a
chapel there and a pretty good size branch of about 40 people. The meetings
were really good and I met a lot of new people. They all asked me if I was a
new missionary serving there. I told them no that I was just visiting and they
were all sad. Ha-ha they all told me that I need to come back. Romanians are so
nice. I love them. Also last night I had my first official meal at a member’s
home. The family that fed us are really strong members and they are pretty
wealthy so we got fed very well. They have two little daughters that are really
cute and were jumping on me all night. They’re crazy but super funny. The only
thing I hate is hearing a 4 year old speak a thousand times better than me.
That’s about it for this week. Sorry,
there will be a lot more next week. I love you all and I appreciate all the e-mails.
Sorry if I don’t respond but I'm trying. And if you ever feel like sending an
email please do- I love them. I love this gospel so much. It is because of this
Gospel that gives me the strength and desire to get up every morning share it
with others. A bunch of Americans walking the streets of Romania is really
weird to people. Everyone is always just staring but I like it because then I
can just walk up and start talking to them. And it’s funny because they don’t
expect it. I’m so happy to be a
missionary. These are the latter days and people really are becoming prepared
to receive the gospel. I know that through the Spirit we can find those people
who are looking for it. It’s a beautiful thing. Love you all so much. You’re in
my prayers.

Mom, No I haven’t used my debit card
but I do need something, and I have a little list of things you can send me.
Also you can send anything you want really that you think might be useful.
Thanks. And probably not too big cuz I have to travel with it.
-Taco Seasoning
-Cholula Hot sauce (ha-ha there’s no
hot sauce here!!!)
-Flash Drives (probably a few cheaper
ones instead of one expensive one because I dump all my pictures onto them so
that I will have more room on my Camera. In the future I might actually send
them home so that you can put it on the computer at home because I really don’t
want to lose my pictures and I feel safer if I just sent it home.)
-Stickers
