Blessings
Friends and Family!!!
Hello!! I always feel like I am rushing against time very time I write my emails home each Monday! I have been so blessed with a companion who loves to adventure!! Each week on p-day we have done something super fun and crazy with the Elders in our city! I would not have it any other way but because of all our fun p-day adventures, I always have very little time to write my emails home! Luckily, my companion has a bluetooth keyboard ( I write all my emails on my phone) and it has literally saved my life every p-day!! haha I told her today that I would even pay her for the keyboard when she leaves for home next week! haha
Last Monday we went to a city called Alba Lulius with the Elders in our city and the other 4 missionaries in our district! It was fun to see them all and just explore different parts of the city together!
Tuesday was one of our only normal days for missionary work this week! We had a whole week of meetings and travel planned after Tuesday, and of course I woke up with a stuffy nose, sore throat, I must have slept on my shoulder wrong because I couldn't take a deep breath without my back really hurting, my shin splints were still randomly bothering me, and my stomach was feeling weird. I did not even want to think about raveling with all these little aches and pains!! I was a little stressed and was not feeling well at all so Sora Saunders suggested that I get a priesthood blessing from one of the Elders. I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THE PRIESTHOOD! There is so much comfort and power that comes from priesthood blessings! Emotionally, I felt better after the blessing and the next morning I did not feel sick at all! I am so grateful for my Heavenly Father and all that He blesses me with!!
Tuesday night we took a sleeper train to Bucharest. Wednesday we had return and report, which was a meeting with the Mission President about how everything is going so far since Sora Robinson and I are almost done with our training! Wednesday night we took a 5 hour train to Sibiu and got to the Sister Training Leaders apartment at 11pm. Thursday we had exchanges, so we switch companions for the day, and those were so much fun!! I learned a lot from Sora Sabir, who I was with all day! She is a great teacher and listener! I really enjoyed just talking to her as we walked from one appointment to the next! That night a couple from the branch invited all 8 of us missionaries to their house for dinner!! It was so much fun and the food was delicious! Friday we had our district activity where we deep cleaned the Sibiu church building and then had friends come to the church later to play games and eat treats! That was so much fun, it was great meeting so many new people! Saturday morning we took a van back to Cluj, did a lot of catch up work from being gone all week. That night I really enjoyed being able to sleep in my own bed again!
It was a super fun week full of learning, tons of travel and lots of laughing! I am so grateful for all of the missionaries here in Romania! We are all one big family and it is always a blast being able to get together every once in a while!
I love you all so much and hope that you have a great week!!
