WEEK 47

I'm literally Lindsay Lohan

MONDAY 5 JUNE
So after I logged off last week, we went to visit our friend Bianca at work. She works at an eyeglasses store. Sora Nowjack bought sunglasses. Then since we had nothing to do we decided to go shop contacting. We went in a makeup store and started talking to the lady that works there. We asked her what makeup would work best for our faces. I was wearing no makeup that day and everything she said I was like dude I do that already so pretty much it was just a confidence boost to me that I actually DO know how to do makeup kind of a little bit. Whoo-hooo. After that we tried to go find a lady but she wasn't home. On our way home, I got a call from one of my former companions because she just needed to talk. Long story short, PLEASE keep her sister in your prayers. She's waiting for a heart/lung transplant, so send those good vibes her way 💕💕 When we got home that night, we decided to order pizza and pay with the money jars we found in our apartment. Sad thing: Domino's will only accept 10 lei in change at a time. So we payed with 10 lei in change and the rest in cash. Before we ate our pizza though, I PIERCED SORA NOWJACK'S EARS. Literally, we went totally Parent Trap with the apple and the ice and a needle and it was the most terrifying thing ever, but don't worry, she's fine and her ears are healing nicely :)

TUESDAY 6 JUNE
Tuesday we went to visit Sora Lature and we got her a Domino pizza again. Not Domino's pizza. Just Domino. It's this cheap junky place that a bunch of old guys hang out at at 10 in the morning and drink but the pizza is actually super good ha. After Sora Lature we limba studied at a bookstore and also did some other stuff I don't 100% remember and then we went to the church to plan English. English went OK and then we rushed to Piata Unirii to meet up with our STLs to do exchanges! Sora Andrus came to me in Panduri and Sora Nowjack went to Sora Schow in Mihai Bravu.

WEDNESDAY 7 JUNE
Sora Andrus and I went contacting with our district at Cismigiu park and we talked to some really cool older people. After that, we had lunch at pizza hut and it took FOREVER AND A DAY for them to bring our food so that was a little ridiculous. Sora Andrus and I comp studied at Starbucks and then visited Sora Sergentiu. I had a really good exchange. Sora Andrus is awesome. She's three transfers ahead of me and was in the MTC with my favorite person Sora Vann and I really enjoyed being comps with her :) After Sora NJ and I were back together, we went to a lesson with a girl named Carmen. She's super nice, but mostly interested in English. We also got offered jobs as professional English teachers on our way there and this girl would NOT take no for an answer. 

THURSDAY 8 JUNE
I was reeeeallly not feeling good on Thursday so we went to the church and language/comp studied until lunchtime and then just grabbed lunch at MegaImage. I had bread and hummus and water. Then we met up with Diana. It went really well. Then Mirela. It also went well. Then we went home early because I was still feeling icky.

FRIDAY 9 JUNE
District meeting! After DM we made tacos together. Elders vs. Sisters. Sisters won. Our tortillas were homemade and we used chicken instead of pork/beef mix. We won by a lot. Then we had a lesson with Ane and the other sisters. It was... interesting. Ane used to be a model but then she gained a lot of weight but on her dating profiles she still uses her old pictures so we witnessed a phonecall where she told a guy she was fat now and the pictures were a lie... it was weird.  We visited the Bogdan family with the elders and Ioana (the mom) made me do the cup song (which I do NOT do well lol) and she livestreamed it on facebook and told me I need to go on Romania's Got Talent. Uh. How bout no, lol. 

SATURDAY 10 JUNE
English! Our friend Diana is helping us teach. She's 17 and basically told us everything we're doing is wrong. Then we went over to her house and she had ice cream cake for us :) super yum. Then games night and Ane came! We played Minute to Win It games and it was fun. I also got to see one of my friends from Constanta, President Constantinescu! He taught the institute lesson. I miss that family. 

SUNDAY 11 JUNE
Church! It was good. Then we had lunch, weekly planned, and visited a member named Geta. Her grandson was there and he's so cute. He loves me. It was adorable. Also Sora NJ cut my hair! It's a little (okay, a lotttt) shorter than I wanted, but it's healthy now and  I guess it'll grow back :( she only chopped off like 3 or 4 inches, but I feel bald. Ah.

MONDAY 12 JUNE
Today I cut Sora Andrus' hair! That's the second haircut I've given on my mission. It turned out well. Then we grocery shopped and since we got fed a lot last week, we didn't need to get a lot of normal grocery stuff, so we splurged on cheddar cheese and stuff to make spring rolls. Oh my goodness I haven't had cheddar cheese in almost a year. and it was scuuuump. But it's white irish cheddar and I was in heaven. :) then we were at Sephora because there's this expensive perfume that I can't afford but LOVE so every time we pass Sephora I go spray it all over myself lol and a nice Sephora lady was like "wanna try this brow stuff" and did my brows for me and she was just super cute and nice. 

love y'all! Send me mail
