Hey everybody it's been a pretty crazy week
FIRST I would like to give a big birthday shout out to my mama! And a big shout out to my dad for Father's day. I have been so blessed. Love you guys!!
So if you remember I told you all that we had our last zone conference in Moldova 2 weeks ago but I lied because our actual last conference was this week (i think). Sooo we got to see the Hettingers again and it was just super fun. We met at the top of dedication hill with all of the missionaries and we read the dedication prayer for Moldova and we said things that we loved about it. It was tight. We then headed back to the office center and listened to Pres and Sis Hettinger. They talked about the stripling warriors and about remembering who we are. Then we had a testimony meeting and it was super cool bc I love the missionaries here. We also got to watch the broadcast that Pres Nelson gave to the youth and I liked it a lot. We are seriously so blessed to have a living prophet.

We found a few new investigators this week so the work has been starting to pick up which I'm excited about. We met with a guy this week who only eats fruit and drinks water so that was exciting.

We met with a super cool member this last week and they have a cute wild fam. It was great. They fed us cake and juice so I was in heaven.

Probably the craziest thing that happened this week happened yesterday. We were walking to another elder's apartment and I was on the phone when a girl who was about 14 or 15 walked past and punched me in the place where a man shouldn't get punched. I was just so confused/in pain and in my frustration I yelled "dude, what are you doing??" in russian not realizing that it was actually a girl. I swear only in Moldova. Hahahaha

Other than that I don't have much to say. This saturday is transfers so I guess I'll let you know what happens! The only thing that can really happen is I stay here or go to Balti so I'll fill you in next week. 

Alright so the phrase I've been thinking about a lot this week is :
No God, No Peace
Know God, Know Peace
I think that this is really cool because I've found that Missions are crazy and there are a lot of things that you're supposed to do. I've had some crazy experiences and some weird experiences but over the past year I've realized that this has been the most peaceful year of my life. I owe it all to God. I know He's there. I know He loves you and that He is in the very details of your life. Always remember that.

Love all you cuties

also bday shouts out to my bestie Elder Tipps in Korea 너는 최고가 야

Hey everyone  Oh man it's been a fun week. Also we contacted pretty much all day every day but for some reason it was really fun? Also Elder Day got wrecked with a stomach bug and we've started to get colds but we've still been going out and getting work done.  We actually had people come to church this sunday! So that was sweet. Church is nice. I got to translate @ church and man my translating is so trash haha. It's really fun though. Something cool that happened is we prayed really hard to find a less-active member one day and we went out to some addresses to find them and on our way we stopped a guy and tried to talk to him and he was like "oh yeah i actually used to go to your church" and then we found out more and it turns out he was baptized a while ago and even had the priesthood at some point so that was so cool and we invited him to come back to church. So miracles do actually happen it was sweet. Now that summer is coming around everyone dec...

2 Countries 2 Missions 2 Mission Presidents 3 Areas 3 Languages 9 Companions Hundreds of lessons taught Hundreds of hours of contacting 2 Years As I'm writing this it still doesn't feel totally real and so it's a really strange feeling coming to the end. This is the last time I'll be sending an email as I'm going home next week.  My mission really has been the best 2 years. But it really wasn't anything that I had expected earlier. It has been the most difficult 2 years, the craziest 2 years, and the most peaceful 2 years of my life. I've learned so much and so much has changed in myself and others that it has completely flipped my life around. I thought I knew the blessings of the gospel before my mission but I feel like I've come to actually know it and I've come to actually see the change and the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ in people's lives.  I've seen and met and made friends with some of the strongest ...

Well I now have officially less than a month left on a mission so that's weird. I would say I have a healthy amount of trunkiness. But you better believe that I'm still grinding every day.  It's been a hype week. I'll just get into the interesting things: -My companion had interviews this past week and while we were waiting at President's house Sister Kumferman pulls out ticket to ride and we had a good old bonding time. The Kumfermans are literally the best and I'm so sad that I didn't have an interview with him this time around. I love them so much. -That night was crazy and we ended up joining a Gypsy caravan. We were walking down a creepy alleyway and next thing we know we're surrounded by gypsies and they're speaking their weird gypsy tongue. We quickly escaped and went across some railroad tracks but there was a very long train on the tracks that was stopped and so we were like "dang" and so we climbed underneath the train to ge...
