WEEK 8

This was a way better week. 

Yes, I shook President Uchtdorf's hand and he said he's been to Stockton before..... I was like bro you must be confused, but it was really cool. He says hi by the way. He literally said to tell my family hello from him, and thanks for supporting your missionary. So that's way cool. We had to take a sleeper train to Bucharest and that was an adventure. Really fun actually, and then mission conf. and we went to Brasov IN TRANSYLVANIA! which is (so I've heard), the only pretty city in Romania. It really is super pretty.

Peles Castle in Sanaia

With Kitchen--my mission mom!

The courtyard inside the castle

What else?......... well-- covrig is delicious (google it.)  oh and also: We got to have dinner at one of our investigator's houses (Bianca, she's 18 and adorable) and Romanian food is delicious and they had GREEN PEACHES! They were better than our peaches.... produce here is way better and her uncle did the European cheek kiss thing when we were leaving. kinda weird, but cool. 

We went to the mall today. 'Twas fun. The branch is super great. I'm happier today. Sorry I was so sick and crazy last week.

There were 20 people at church which is GREAT. Our speakers were an old missionary from 5 years ago and his wife who came back to visit, and Andreea, who's a translator for the church, so she gets to read conference talks early to translate them! She talked about Uchtdorf's visit and it was really cool. Our investigators are all doing great.  The senior couple is really nice and they drive us around.
