WEEK 55

It's so hot that even a Texan and a Californian think it's too hot!

MONDAY JULY 31

Uh after I emailed I packed more and cried some and then we ordered pizza :)

TUESDAY AUGUST 1

So on Tuesday we went and cleaned out the other sisters' apartment in Buc because the sister coming in was whitewashing and getting a boboaca so she wouldn't have time to do it. (So whitewashing is when two new people go into an area together so  they don't know anything. Boboaca means little duckling and it's slang for freshman here so it means greenie.)  It was pretty gross but now it's clean. Then we got KFC and did some office treaba and packed more and then visited Daisy. She's great. She makes awesome food. 

WEDNESDAY AUGUST 2

So Wednesday morning I actually finished packing haha. Also at some point I found out that the trio got cancelled! So I was just going to Iasi with one companion, not two. We met Sora Wright at the gara and I said goodbye to my lovely companions and then we took a train to Iasi. Then a taxi to our apartment. Then we slept. 

View from our apartment 😍😍😍

THURSDAY AUGUST 3

We went to the church to do companion study and then we went out to lunch with Otilia. She's sixteen. She met the missionaries about two weeks ago and read the Book of Mormon in three days. We talked about the Plan of Salvation with her and she wants to get baptized! She's tentatively scheduled for the twelfth of August right now, it might get pushed to the nineteenth but definitely this month. She's the cutest person I've ever met. She's literally a Disney princess. Snow White, actually. She's so stinking cute. After that, we did a brief weekly planning session so Sora Wright could tell me about all of the people we're working with right now. Then we both unpacked because we took over a different companionship's apartment. 

FRIDAY AUGUST 4

District meeting! The elders in Bacau are in our district right now and wowwwww I can't even tell you how jealous I am that they get to be in Bacau. I miss that town so much. DM was good. We brought bread and peaches and we had PB and J at the church so we made sandwiches for lunch and then met with Oana. I can't tell if she even likes us. It was a weird lesson. Then we went with the elders to visit Maxim, who was on date to be baptized on the 12th. Well that was an interesting lesson. Needless to say, his date got pushed back. He's just not ready. Then we had games night! Otilia came and brought muffins. They were so good. The elders had a friend there named Andra who I hit it off really well with. We're going to start meeting with her when she gets back from England next week :) I really like Iasi. We have so much going on.

SATURDAY AUGUST 5

We did comp study and then some contacting at the mall. It's been so hot this whole week that being outside is just NOT an option. Like, if a Californian and a Texan can't handle the heat, that's when you know it's hot. Then we met up with Otilia again and talked about her baptism. Since she's underage, she needs parental consent. She said that won't be a problem and that actually her parents would love to hear our message too. Funny story, her family investigated the church ten years ago, both her parents read the Book of Mormon and thought it was great, and then they just lost contact.

SUNDAY AUGUST 6

The branch... well, they're nice. I got to translate again. Yayyyy I honestly love it so much. After church we had two lessons set up buuut they both fell through. So we came home and weekly planned and then tidied up/unpacked more. We found laser pens and messed with pedestrians. It was fun. 

MONDAY AUGUST 7

Not much. A guy came to fix our leaky showers and sinks and another guy is coming later this week to fix our AC. We've been dying. Tomorrow, Sora Hettinger is going to spend the day with us. Wednesday is zone conference. Then Thursday we have exchanges with our STLs adica I get to be comps with Sora Vann for a day sooo it's gonna be bomb. Next week's email is gonna be poppin :)
