Hey guys
It's been a super good week and we had some fun stuff this week.
I started the week with an exchange with Elder Lindsey and he's the coolest guy out so it was a blast. We also have some of the same friends (s/o Steph and Keyera) so that's super fun. We went out to the village to teach our investigator Женя and it was just great. Being a missionary is great. We left wednesday night to go to Chisinau and we left with the Carons and they're the best senior couple out. 

We stayed the night with Elder Rybitskii and Dumbrell and it was sweet because it was Elder Rybitskii's last time seeing us (he is dying on Wednesday). We had interviews with President on Thursday and it was great because President Kumferman is the man. He's so wise and I learn so 
much every time we meet. 

There was a problem with the Moldovan elders getting Ukrainian visas this last transfer so after this next transfer we should have the opportunity to go to Ukraine which will be pretty exciting. So we had transfers this last friday and everything is staying the same here so the Balti Bros get to kill it here for another transfer. I'm super happy about it bc I get to be with the Balti fam for another transfer. 

We got to do service for one of our investigators on Friday and we got to clean up his backyard. We had a good time ripping out plants and killing snails (literally there were hundreds). 
We had an activity for the branch this saturday so we made sandwiches and played volleyball it was great and we had a good turnout! We're hoping to really help the branch out this transfer. 

Other than that we didn't have anything going on. This week I learned more about faith and how it's actually a GIFT. that kinda blew my mind but maybe you already knew. Anyways ponderize that a lil bit this week and use your gift of faith to help others! here's a great scripture--> Mark 11:20-24
20  And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have afaith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not adoubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Love you lots!

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...
