Basically, this whole week was just our district becoming more and more excited to get to Romania and everything else becoming harder and harder to concentrate on. We leave Monday morning at 4:20 and don't get to Romania until 1 PM (Romania time) on Tuesday. So I think I'll have like 15 hours of time to read the Cartea Lui Mormon and PMG. Life of a missionary :) But guys I'm so excited to get there and meet the people and see the country and eat the food and learn more of the language!
I just want everyone to understand that when we say we are going to Romania, we are not going to a city in Italy. Especially when we say we are speaking Romanian. They actually speak Italian in Italy believe it or not. Haha I can't believe how many people here get confused between Rome and Romania, it's pretty funny.
Ok, the highlight of this week was on Monday when we had the opportunity to skype a member of the church in Ias, Romania!! Her name is Lidia and she is this cute cute old lady who lives alone in this small house with cute purple floral walls and a floral print refrigerator (that was all we could see haha). Anyways it was so fun to actually teach someone from Romania (not just skyping returned missionaries living in Orem). It was so fun, she was so fun to talk to, and was so nice to speak Romanian so slowly for us. :) She told us that she goes into surgery this next week and when we said we were sorry for her, she said, "Don't be sorry, be glad because the surgery is making me better!" Anyways I hope that someday I can be as cute and kind and optimistic as Lidia, cause she is awesome and made our week!
The Provo temple finally reopened! I'm so glad that we had the opportunity to go this morning, especially since it's the last time that I will go for the next 18 months. I love love love going to the temple, and I also love eating breakfast at the cafeteria haha! Super yummy omelets.
I miss you all! I hope all is well! I can't wait to tell you all about Romania next week!! So excited!!
Numai bine,
