Hello family and friends!!!
Well, it’s Monday again and it’s the
last week of this transfer. It’s
going by way too fast like always. So
this week was a very busy week
filled with a few new things and some
of the same stuff like English.
English is going good still. We have
a smaller class of about 10
people this transfer but they are
great and love to learn English and
listen to our spiritual thoughts.
Actually just this past Saturday we
had an activity right after English
class so that if they wanted to
they could stay. We played minute to
win it games and it was soo much
fun and really funny. I have the most
amazing videos of Romanians
trying to eat an oreo cookie off of
their foreheads. haha It was nice
to have more people at our
activities.
Also this week on Thursday we went
down to Bucuresti for Zone
Conference!!! It was sooo good. We
got there on Thursday night and at
the train Station in Bucuresti I ran
into Connor Cunningham! He was my
companion my 2nd transfer and went home
about 3 months ago. He didn’t
tell anyone that he was going to
visit so it was a big surprise for me
to just run into him. It was really
good to see him and we got to
catch up far a little bit. That night
I had one of the worst nights of
my life because my air mattress
popped in the middle of the night.
haha But on Friday we had Zone
conference which was really good. We
are going to be trying a new form of
contacting in the mission
directed at families and Genealogy.
It’s different but President Hill has a
lot of really good ideas and we are
excited to try it out. It’s a little
hard to do that in Craiova though
because there are only 2 active
members and there is no computer for
family search.
Yesterday was a really good Sunday.
We had a really good sacrament
meeting and the spirit was very
strong. The Spooners are back in town
with their daughter and nephew so the
congregation was packed! Ha. Also,
the Sisters had one of their
investigators come to church which was
good to see. He said he would come to
our church if we went to his. So
we did and last night we went to the
Pentecostal church. It was a
really good experience so go. Things
are a little different and it was
interesting but it was good. It was
nice to see people who were
actually religious and showed faith
in their church instead of
everyone just saying that they are
orthodox but never going to church.
I love being a missionary and I’m a
happy man! Romania is treating me
very well and I’m staying busy which
is good. This week I will be
taking an adventure as I go out to a
village about 2 hours outside of
Craiova. There is a guy who has met
with the missionaries a long time
ago and wants to meet with us. This
is also the last week of the
transfer so I will know about
everything that is happening next week
and I’ll keep you updated! Love you
all and thanks for all the e-mails!!
