Yesterday:) I hope you had a great one!! You are so old now I don't know what to do....
So my new companion is Sora Ralls!! She is super awesome and I will most likely be her last companion on a mission. This week was sad because I had to say goodbye to Sora Ruiz, but it is great to have a fresh start.
We set some new goals and because I am fairly new here and Sora Ralls has never been in Constanta so needless to say for anyone who knows me at all, we get lost a lot! But it is good because we get to the parts that I am pretty sure no one has been before in the city as far as missionaries go. Just on Saturday we randomly walked in front of a gypsy mansion and had people following us because they looked at me and my red-headed companion and go, they are not from here. So that was a little scary but we got home safe with no incident and now that part of the map is marked do not enter.
When we were looking at the map super lost the other day Sora Ralls asked a woman on the street for some help finding the park and the woman walked us there no problem. We talked to her the whole time we walked there and set up a teaching appointment for the next day. We show up at her apartment after a taxi driver tries to rip us off again and she has the coffee pot boiling and a nice china-crystal set with home made pastries and 4 fancy crystal glasses for coffee, beer, wine, and water. So of course it was awkward to explain that we don't drink coffee or alcohol, but it went well. We had given her a Book of Mormon the day before and she had already started reading it. She loved our lesson and told us that she wanted to meet with us again after she comes home from vacation in September! Yay! But also sad because she will be gone for a really long time.
Last night we gave a lesson to a woman who Sora Ruiz and I contacted at the edge of the Black Sea and watched the Moon rise. No worries it was still light outside, but apparently it was a special rare moon rising where the moon was as close as it could be to the earth. It was so pretty. We taught our lesson and there was a moment where we felt the spirit so strongly and knew that what we were doing by teaching this woman about the Plan of Salvation was something amazing!
The church is true! And I can see the changes in Romania in just the 7 weeks I have been here. Thursday is my 3 month mark on a mission and it is crazy to think it has gone by so fast. I hear school is starting soon at home and that the summer breaks are coming to an end. I love all of you! Good luck in school and have fun during the month of birthdays:)
