Well this week has been a fast one, time is beginning to fly. I feel like I emailed you all two days ago! I can't believe transfers have come already. Sadly Sora Nemelka and 3 of the elders are leaving Chisinau, and I will miss them all, but I hear some amazing missionaries are coming in after them!! Super excited to continue training with Sora Dusenberry this next transfer and to continue serving with the most amazing people ever!
We did lots and lots of service this past week, mostly for members of the branch. On Wednesday however we did a huge Zone service project where we fixed up a community volleyball court where we hold weekly volleyball nights for members and investigators!! (I have learned that my volleyball skills are severely lacking compared to some of these other missionaries, oops). It was fun, Sora D and I painted some benches and had blue paint all over us for days.
Also, this past Sunday was awesome!!! Honestly I looked around during the Russian branch sacrament meeting, and there was not an empty seat!! SO awesome! There must have been almost as many investigators as members there! There is this less active member, Ivan, who we have been working with these past few weeks. His wife is pretty strongly Orthodox, and is against the church, so he hasn't come since they have been married. But they just had a brand new 1 week old bebelus, and we have been taking them dinner, treats, notes, etc. and on Sunday Ivan and three of his kids walked in the door of sacrament meeting!! Sora D and I were so happy and so excited to see them! Definitely a highlight of the week. I know that because we reached out to be kind and invite them to church, they were able to come and feel the spirit! I hope you all are doing your best to look for those who could use an invitation to church, because sometimes that's all it takes, and it's honestly the best.
Life is so so good here and I feel the spirit every single day! (Also the kitchen bug situation is solved yay!) I miss you all and I hope all is well! I pray for you all every day! Let me know if there is ever anything I can do for you!
Love,
Sora Ebert
