do I have permission?

Bună friends! I hope you all had a great week! 

Here's some quick highlights since I dont have a ton of time! 

- had an exchange on Wednesday! Got to be with Sora Folkman, she was trained by my same trainer so that was fun! 

-on the exchange my companion taught our friend Oana and put her on baptismal date! December 13th! 

- we taught a cute kids english class! 

- we have been on the streets A LOT! and it has been so fun! We meet so many interesting people :

 — one told my comp to stay in romania and marry her son 

— one old lady played with my comps curly hair 

— got told it isn't nice and that I dont have permission to talk to people on the street, same lady compared me to a orthodox missionary (they don't exist) 

— a lot of people who dont speak romanian recently oddly enough 

- helped a member input some new family names into family search so she could take them to the temple! So crazy how romanians have so much family history to do and how it's all immediate family members 

- visited a member family! So funny. It was a mom and daughter and it felt like listening to a podcast haha. The conversation actually went everywhere too and it was hilarious. 

-visited our friend Jasmin at her house! She's 13 and we met her parents! She is awesome and literally comes to everything on her own, it's awesome! 

-had a member lesson with our friend Daniel! Gave him a church tour and lowk stood the whole time by the baptism font haha 

- Sunday we had a few friends at church! The relief society was so nice to Oana and made her feel welcome and she loved it

- lowk so rainy and cold so rip 

Scripture time :

"for I ought to be content with the things which the Lord hath allotted unto me" 

I've been thinking about being content with what the Lord has given me recently. I'm going to deeply miss my mission when I go home in just a few short weeks but I'm grateful He has given me last 18 months and being content with knowing He has given me just these 18 months has helped me with the sadness of leaving. He has worked wonders this past year and half and I'm grateful for the next few weeks to see it unfold and to continue to grow as a disciple of His at home. I know Lord has a plan for all of us and has given all things to us for just a reason. 

Sorry for the short email and thought, I have much more to say about my week and about this scripture but just not a lot of time! I love you all! Have the best Thanksgiving ever!!! Eat a lot and watch a lot of football! I love and I'm thankful for all of you!! Happy Thanksgiving! 

Love sam
