Ghost Stories

-my new comp is sora Taylor! She is fun and so funny and I am so excited for this transfer!

-p-day we went to our local princess castle and took some last p-day pictures as a companionship, and took a stroll around the castle grounds.

-Wednesday was transfer day, and unfortunately our train didn't leave until later in the day, which meant that we spent the whole day waiting for the train. Our sweet 100-year old member, mihai, told us he could meet us at the train station to help us with our luggage, even though we were not sure how much of a help he could be, bless him.

-alsooo on Wednesday, the APs called me telling me that I would be staying in bucarest with my new comp sora Taylor for a couple days to do some meetings and meet with President and sister Rucker who were in town. They also told sora Taylor and I that we were going to dinner with them and President and sister Rucker at the JW Marriott in București whichhh was quite the experience, let me tell you.

-we did some presentations for new missionaries coming into the country, and it was so fun to be around their new missionary spirit!! Makes me want to recommit and be just as happy and excited about the work as they are.

-Almost missed our train back to ploiesti because we were stuck in the line at Subway, don't fret though, we made the train, my sandwich was very good, and we met a cute new friend named Vera sitting across from us on the train.

-Being the very skilled mathematician that I am, I realized all the ads that we were currently running would go WAYYY over what we actually have in our budget to spend, this means we had to emergency stop some of our ads and posts that we were running which is unfortunate, but you know, what can you do?!!

I have a question for you all this week and feel free to email me your response! What do you do every day that requires you to exercise your faith? 

love you all:))

a good week

This week was quite another good one if I do say so myself:)

-tuesday: as media leaders in the mission we have a meeting with our Mission President and his wife every week! It has been so amazing working and counseling about the direction of the mission and trouble shooting everything together. The Ruckers are so inspired when it comes to leading the mission, and because of their diligence and faith, we have seen so much success as a mission! We are still currently one of the leading missions worldwide for generating media referrals, and Sora Anderson and I now have the privilege of working with a professional from Salt Lake in further developing our ads and media! It has been a little hard adjusting to being more of a "behind the scenes" person in this new media calling, as we mediate things for the whole mission, and don't have a lot of time to have our own teaching pool, but i have came to love it. 

The miracles that I have been able to see through the work we are doing makes it all worth it!!

- Sora Anderson and I were quite bored with our "sister missionary outfits" and decided to try and put together outfits that matched for the whole week just to change things up. Of course this meant we had to take pictures of every outfit. One day while taking our daily self-timer picture (which we had set up at a tram station), Sora Anderson was quite literally almost hit by the tram. Good thing we captured part of the incident on picture! We are glad Sora Anderson is still with us today.

- friday: for our district activity this transfer, the Elders from Craiova and Pitesti traveled over to us sisters in Ploiesti so that we could have district council in person and bake some goodies, and then deliver them to some of our members. It was fun to meet our district members IN PERSON for the first time this transfer, and we had a good time baking batches upon batches of brownies and then delivering them. 

- Our old member, Mihai, showed up to the church one day with a bunch of old photos of him and his family and it was quite fascinating to hear about his story (apparently he was quite a Heartbreaker), and more about the history of Romania, it was quite a good time. 

- Florea is looking to be baptized at the end of this month maybe!!! 

We are aiming to set a solid date with him this week! 

- Got up and gave a good Lil testimony about general conference and the prophet and his apostles in testimony meeting yesterday! I still get a bit nervous speaking in church in Romanian, but it went well! I am thankful for a living prophet, and the fact that Jesus Christ directs his church in these days!! Is that not the coolest??!

I challenge you all to prepare for general conference this next up coming month! 

Take time to prepare with questions, an open mind, and a prayer in your heart, and I can promise you that you will be able to find answers to your questions!

Love you all:)
