I hope everyone is doing well. I hear America is going through a bit of a tough one with all the hurricanes, earthquakes and fires. I hope all of you are doing alright, especially cute little Henry and Sam in Miami!
If anyone would like an update on my language and pronunciation skills here's a story for you: We were contacting on the street yet again, and this mom walks by with her daughter. In my profound Romanian, I tried to tell her that the little girl is super cute, and she looks at me really confused and says, "Nu vorbesc limba engleza, scuzi." It was pretty awkward. Apparently when I speak Romanian to a Romanian they think I'm speaking English lol.
One funny thing I am learning about Chisinau is that they will put their celebrations and random events above the functionality of the city haha. Literally every week they will shut down their biggest street running through the entire city, and hold a huge event. One week it was a concert, the next it was a chalk throwing festival, two days ago they had traditional flag dances, and yesterday they held a professional wrestling/karate/weird fighting competitions. It's super fun to watch as we are walking by, but I think it is funny bc all the bus routes are messed up for the day, cars can't get through, and then the next day is spent taking down the stage. But it's a party here in Chisinau.
Iulia got her mission call! She is this cute cute member who has waited for months due to medical stuff, but she finally opened her call in sacrament on Sunday. She is going to Birmingham, England. Maybe she will be comps with Sister Knight? Ahh I am so excited for her, she will be amazing! It is so exciting for us missionaries here to see the church growing enough that it is sending its own missionaries out into the field! I know that this is God's work and that it is progressing faster and faster than ever before!
Sad news of the week: Sora Ebert's fav pen ran out of ink and we are currently in mourning.
Fun news of the week: We are starting a children's english class this week! It has been a lot of work to put the curriculum together, so we are so excited to start teaching! Hopefully this way we will be able to find some awesome families who are interested in the gospel.
The work is going great here, and Sora Dusenberry and I are working hard. I love you all back at home and I pray for you every day! :)
Cu drag mult,
Sora Ebert

Sora D and I were looking for this less active member in this super old creepy block on the 11th floor, and then all the lights turned off. So glad we had a flashlight lol for the long walk down the stairs.
Iulia's call opening!
