Hey everyone it's been a wild week
It's probably been one of the funniest weeks ever and I'll give you all some highlights again:
-We had exchanges with the assistants this week and it was a blast. We ended up contacting for like 5 hours and it was super cold but we had a good time. 
-2 different people got locked inside of our bathroom this week. Our bathroom doorknob falls off all the time and so we thought it would be funny to pull off the doorknob on the inside and then they wouldn't be able to open it on the inside but we could open it on the outside. Well it backfired and it turns out you can't open it at all so they just get trapped inside. So this happened a couple times this week and it was pretty fun. 
-I ate it on the ice this week and it was funny because I was holding eggs but I managed to save them
-It was national service day on saturday for the church so we thought that it would be fun to buy some dish soap, bring our broom and knock some apartment blocks and ask if we could clean their apartments for service haha. People were pretty weirded out by it and most people were just like "haha thank you but не надо." but then right when we were getting sad this lady opened the door and she was so nice and it was so great! We actually got to help her out and it was super cool. 
-We found some really really cool people to teach this week (woo)
-We went and visited some members this week and I'm pretty sure that I found the michael scott of moldova haha
-happy birthday tomorrow to my father of the flame
-it's been such a good transfer, it's flown by. Elder Walch and I have a running joke where we always say "it's going to be a good transfer" even though it's about over haha. We find out transfers this friday. 
That's pretty much it for the week! 
One of my heros is Moroni. He's such a stud. Here's a cool verse about him :
Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men.  

Love you all have a merry christmas month

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...
