Hello hello 
It's been a fun week. We found out transfers this week and IM STAYING WITH ELDER WALCH. It's going to be a fun christmas. The more that time goes on the more I don't want to leave Moldova bc I love it too much haha.

We went to Kiev this week for MLC and it was so fun. The Kumfermans are the greatest and we had a blast. The night before MLC we didn't know what to do so our natural moldovan missionary kicked in and we decided to go block knocking. We saw a bunch of nice blocks by the temple so we were like sweet let's do it. We somehow ended up getting into the gated area with no problem, picked a random block to knock, some guy walked out right as we were about to go in and then we went to the top floor to try it out. We knock on the first door, a lady opens and the first thing she says is "ITS THE MISSIONARIES" and then she let us in and fed us some mandarin oranges and gave us chocolate. Literally the one door we knock was a temple worker hahahahhah. She was so so nice and she also said that missionaries had never been to her apartment to visit her before so that was cool. Also she thought it was cool that some missionaries from Moldova randomly knocked on her door lol. 

As soon as we got back to Chisinau we had an exchange with some Russian elders thursday and friday and we had a super good time and taught some bomb lessons. Best news of the week is that we were able to meet with this guy named Alex and set a baptismal date for January!!! We're super stoked for him and we're excited to keep working with him for it.

Other than that it's been the same old same old. I'm loving life rn and it's almost Christmas so things are great. Update: I have lost like 20 pounds since the mtc lol. 

Here's a verse that stuck out to me this week. Matthew 2:10
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.  
GET EXCITED ITS ALMOST CHRISTMAS 
Love you

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...
