Bumpin' in Bacau January 19, 2014

Take a look at this cute picture!!! This will be my companion for the next six weeks and we are pumped!!!!!!!! Transfer boards came out and nothing is changing in Bacau so I am really excited. I love my companion:) It is really nice to have a companion who is as Redneck as I am.  She is actually more Redneck than I am come to think of it. No stop talking about four wheelers, guns, duck dynasty, hunting, or ...should I say it?.... cute country singers:) This is Sora Merkley's last transfer on her mission so we have made some pretty insane goals.  Only speaking Romanian from 9am to 9pm is one of them.  She is also going to stop drinking pop, don't know if I can give up my pepsi or coke quite yet (AKA caffeine). But crazy things:)
 
This week was super fun!! President Iachimov from Bucarest stoped by in our city to talk to us about some exciting ideas he had for Institute Online.  Which was super crazy!! Because literally two days before I had been studying and praying about how to find people here in Bacau and the word Institute popped into my head, so I wrote it on the window next to me in white board marker.  Because of my job tutoring and teaching online I was really able to give him some helpful feed back for his ideas.  It was super cool and super random because it was such a last minute meeting.
 
The city of Bacau has also been experiencing problems with water pressure.  I noticed the church on Saturday had no water which I mentioned to the Elders that it might be a problem, they said it would be fine.  But they did not connect the dots that no water meant, no usable bathrooms... seeewww... that was a good realization for the Elders. 
 
We also got home from church to find our apartment water out, no worries!! We have a water supply!!! It has been going on and off for the past 3 days now. That meant this morning I showered using a power-aid bottle as a shower head;) Romania really is a second world country and I love the adventure:)
 
Just livin' it up here in this city:) I love this city!! The members are super hilarious and very dedicated. We just need to find more of them.
 
Love ya'll!!
