When In Romania: Multi inainte...

Family,

Gotta make this quick!! We had a fun filled p day because it's our last pday as a district! And by "fun filled" I mean we played settlers of catan (cards not the boardgame -so fun!) in a restaurant and went to the city watch tower to see the city. It all took a lot longer than we had anticipated! But it was still a blast!! I have loved this district so SO much. Sadly, Elder Harrison and Sora Remsberg will be leaving us! Sora Remsberg is being whitewashed into Sibiu. She will do wonderfully. If there was any missionary who could do it, it would be her. She is amazing. This is her second time whitewashing (she also whitewashed Constanta!) Which is where Sora Ewell will be serving! We are literally on the opposite sides of the country. But I do get to see her tomorrow at transfers! Cannot wait. Sora Smith will be my companion. She only has two transfers left so she will be a great missionary to learn from and serve with. I'm excited.

It has been another wonderful week! Lots of learning, laughing and hard work. Success:) I wish I had a lot of really cool stories...I don't. Sorry! I'm not sure if it's because it's summer (yes, still summer here) or if we are doing something wrong, but it is SO difficult to establish lessons here. We meet and talk to amazing people and they tell us to call the day of the lesson because they don't know their schedule and then we set up with them and then they either cancel an hour before or don't show up. I don't get what the deal is! So, our days usually are pretty packed at the beginning and then half way through the day, we are completely open. Same with the Elders. So...we go guitar contacting a lot with the Elders. haha. Which is actually really fun. But frustrating that lessons just don't go through. District goals next transfer: figure out a way around that!

However, Madalina is progressing -slowly but surely. She is such an intelligent 15 year old. She asks such good, brilliant questions and is so open. We have a few others we are working with who come to sports night every friday night. A mom and her two kids and her sister and brother in law. They've built a really good relationship with Sora Remsberg, as have a lot of the less actives and we've seen so much progress with them recently. I'm terrified that sora remsberg will leave and I won't quite fill her shoes and they will stop progressing. I know I can't think this way... but I have been! We will see what happens. I will do my very best to pick up where she left off!

I'm so sorry this is way too short!! I hope you forgive me. Promise a longer email will be written next week!!
