BUNĂ FRIENDS! I miss and love you all!
This week was such a highlight. Here's a few 
Tuesday:
☆ had an amazing fun last day in Sibiu with Sora Mansfield and last little day as sml
☆met with our friend Vica and she made us crepes and it was adorable, the hardest part of leaving Sibiu is leaving the people. I met some of my favorite people here and it was such a hard goodbye. Loved my time in this beautiful little city. It was a blessed few transfers and some of my favorite times. The miracles we saw were incredible and I'll forever love the people here.
Wednesday
☆spent a fun lil day in București! Got some amazing Greek food and saw some mission friends! Super sad I am starting to have to say goodbye to so many people I love and so many friends.
☆ took a fun lil train to my new city of Brasov with the other sisters!
Thursday
☆ my first day with Sora Pack! She is actually pure joy and I have never laughed harder in my life. I'm in for the best and funniest transfer ever.
☆ we had some fun STL plans to make for this transfer so that took some of the day lol but it was good!
☆ had a cute lesson with our friend Jasmin! She is the cousin of a member here and my comp had a little miracle to help get her to church so its been so fun to teach her. She read some of the book of mormon and is loving all the things about baptism and being save. Beautiful.
☆ we've lowkey been on the contact GRIND! contacting our friends daily has been awesome but leaves us with a crazy amount of calls each night haha
☆ we also streeted over to the church from our apartment-- who was gonna tell me we live 3 miles away. Casually walking 3 miles (or more) at a time is something I've gotten so used to as a missionary but when you think of it, it's kinda crazy haha. But had some fun times. And got handed a cigarette. My comp found it hilarious hahah.
Friday:
☆ fun district council with lunch at the senior couples!
☆ more fun finding! More phone calls!
☆ visited an inactive member who is so cute and tender!
☆ everyone we streeted these past few days has been named Maria and that was super funny lol
Saturday :
☆ best part of the day was visiting our new member family! This family got baptized a little bit ago and we are ministering to them and helping them come to church. They live a little bit outside of town so we drove there with the senior couple and had a really good lesson. They have 7 kids so it was a little crazy but so fun.
Sunday:
☆ ok holy. Sunday was awesome. I'm now serving in the biggest branch in the country and it is actually amazing. I traded my tender little 10 person branch in a small cute little house church for 70+ people in an actual chapel. Small branches and those members actually have my heart and serving in small branches is truly so amazing, but I will say I loved pulling up to church in an actual building with a lot of members, it gets me excited for the church growing in romania. Also the members here are fantastic and have the biggest hearts. It'll be sad to only get 5 weeks here.
☆ we had some friends at church! We also had a super cool miracle of a lady just walking into church and she told us she looked us up online. Turns out she looked up the Baptist church next door but she walked into ours. But it all worked out because she loved it and we are meeting again on Wednesday! Pray for Oana!
☆ besides that we went finding and had some fun times!
Truly these past few days have been so blessed. Surrounded by mountains, laughing with Sora Pack(we are actually dying laughing 24/7) and working super hard. We are actually grinding our last little bit and its been so awesome. I'm so excited for this next little bit! I'm also serving with 3 other people who I started my mission with so its a fun little mtc reunion over here in Brașov haha. Basically the best time ever and I'm feeling so happy and blessed to be a missionary!
Quick little spiritual thought! :
This is long so I'll be short, but I've been thinking a lot about prayer. I feel like as a missionary I always have a lot on mind and a lot of things going on and to worry about and turning to Heavenly Father in prayer has been the biggest support these past 16 months. I know God answers all of our prayers. The formal ones on our knees and even the ones quickly said in our heads and hearts. God loves you and I love you!
