This week flew by; I feel like I was emailing you guys yesterday!! We hit our MTC halfway mark on Wednesday-- less than 3 weeks to go now!! Ahh I love it here but to be honest, I'm so excited to get out into the field and meet the people of Romania!
Also I heard that this last week was both free slurpee day and free Chick-Fil-A; I hope all of you ate enough for me, I really missed out. They do give us Chick-Fil-A once a week here though, so I guess that makes it ok. No 7-11 though.
Our investigator Daniel is hilarious. He is one of our teachers acting as a teenager he taught in Romania, and definitely has some lit times. He never stops talking about his funny life, and our first lesson went 20 minutes of him talking super fast before we had two seconds to share a sentence on the Cartea Lui Mormon. Then he ushered us out "cause he had no more time." He asked me about how I go to the U and my companions go to BYU, and I started talking about how Utah football is the best. Anyways, the word "foot" is a very offensive Romanian swear word, so you can imagine how that went. He honestly wouldn't stop laughing at us for the rest of the lesson, and he loves to make fun of the missionaries. But it was hilarious.
Our zone got to host the new missionaries this week and it was super fun! We all forgot sunblock and got burned, but it actually was way fun, and I'm glad I got to do it. I was so sad for all the crying moms, but so so so excited for the new missionaries; they are going to do such great things.
Update on the language: In Romanian we learned that if a word sounds weird, you change it. If you don't like the word order of a sentence, you can just switch it almost any way you want. Also if you don't want to say a word, take it out of the sentence. There are a million Romanian words for one English word, and one Romanian word for a million English words. It is hard but so fun, and the point of the language is to sound pretty, and I love it. I know the Gift of Tongues is real. We pray so hard all day every day for help with the language, and study so hard during every moment, and God is helping us! I am amazed at how quickly the language is coming, it is so awesome.
I hope all of you are well! I think about you everyday, and love you all!
Cu drag,
