Hello everyone!!!!! First off I want
to give a shout out to my
family!!!! Sickest family ever and it
was great to see them over skype
this week. You guys look great. My
mom got all ready at 7 in the
morning just for here son. That’s
dedication!! Love you guys.. And yeah
sorry I didn’t email you on Monday, I
was on the computer a lot those
three days because my companion
skyped home on Sunday so I just
decided to email a lot of people who
I haven't been able to respond to
in a long time. But I’m still alive
and I had another busy week. So it
was, as you know, transfer week this
week so I got my new companion on
Wednesday. His name is Elder Poulsen
and he’s super sick!!!! I served
around him a lot in Galati so I
already know him pretty well but we
love each other and it should be a really
successful transfer which I’m
really looking forward to!!!
We had a mission leadership council
meeting on Thursday which was good
but really, really long. It was from
9 in the morning till 4! Yeah it
was hard to sit through but we got a
lot of good important things
covered and a good plan for this
transfer. This was actually President
and Sora Hills last MLC (Mission
Leadership Council) so they got a little emotional and talked
about how great and important the
things that we are doing out here
are.
Other than that we have been going to
the Park Hedestrau and
contacting the whole world for
English. Towards the end of last week
it started to get really hot so there
have been thousands of people at
the park. It’s been fun and English
contacting can always be really fun
if you have fun with it and be bold.
Yesterday we were at the park and
there were so many people there that
it was impossible to hand out
cards to all the people walking by so
I walked right into the middle
of hundreds of people and started
yelling.. Free English classes for
anyone!!!! It’s free!! No Price!!!
We're Americans!!! And things like
that. I must have given out over 300
cards. It was so awesome! haha
Also there was a Turkish festival at
the park for the past 3 days and
it has been really interesting to see
the Turkish culture. They have
these huge markets everywhere and
everyone is trying to sell you
something... one guy slapped a
Turkish hat on Elder Poulsens head and
said HEY give me 15 Lei!! haha Hey it
worked because he bought it.
haha We were actually able to contact
a few people from Turkey and
they said they have heard of us!!! I
was really surprised! They were
really nice and introduced us to all
these traditional Turkish Peace
Makers!!! They were all dressed up in
their traditional Turkish
dancing outfits and didn’t know
English or Romanian. haha just Turkish.
They started talking to us and we
were just like yeah I have no idea
what your saying. haha
Sunday was great and we had a great
sacrament meeting. I had to
translate with the microphone in the
back so I wasn’t able to get much
out of the speakers but it was still
great. Translating is fun but
crazy because your mind is going a
million miles per hour. And it
doesn’t help when they mumble or talk
too fast. haha it’s definitely an
experience.
Well that’s about all the crazy
things that have happened this week. I
have called all of our investigators
and nobody wants to meet so I
guess we are back down to step one
again. Hopefully we can find some
new people through english or just
contacting on the street!! Love you
all and thanks for everything!! The Church
is so true it’s not even
funny!! I love the Lord and I love
being a missionary. I learn
something new everyday!!
Have a great week!!
Much love,
Elder Mayans
