Salut!!
We saw transfer board on Saturday, and I'm staying in Arad!!! That was a surprise. We have 6 in our district, and 3 are leaving.My lovely companion, Sora Stewart is going to Constansa. We thought for sure I'd leave, or at least we thought Sora Stewart and I would stay together for another transfer here. But nope! I'll be serving with Sora Adams. She's up in Cluj right now serving with Sora DeRuvo actually. I'm going to miss Sora Stewart so much, but I'm excited to serve with Sora Adams too. I am happy to be staying in Arad with this little branch a little longer.
So, tomorrow we're leaving for Bucharest again! We're taking the night train again and we'll be there early Wednesday morning. And then we'll catch the next night train back at 11:30 Wednesday night. I seriously love this mission. It's such an adventure.
This week we had a few lessons, we held English classes, and deep cleaned the church. But mostly, we did a whole heck of a lot of contacting, and we had SO much success. We've gained like 5 solid potential investigators.
I'll just tell you about one of our new potential investigators and how we found him. After church yesterday, Sora Stewart and I were walking home from church, and we were talking... I don't even remember what we were talking about, but we were speaking in English. Then we heard this man from behind us ask "You speak English?" We talked to him for a bit, and this man had lived in London for a while, and is planning on going back next month. We kept walking and talking with him, and we started talking about the gospel. He'd told us he was baptized into another church, but that he felt he'd messed somethings up in his life and had no way to fix them and that he didn't stand approved with God anymore. We assured him that everything can be made right through Christ. I wish you all could have seen his face when we talked to him about the power of the atonement. He is so anxious to feel clean again. We got his information and gave it to the elders. The elders are having a lesson with him tonight! Everyday I become more grateful that I've been taught these things from an early age.

Everyday I become more grateful to know what I know. My heart breaks for the people here who think once they've done something wrong, it's over. There are so many people we meet who are looking for forgiveness, but don't know how to find it. I am so grateful to know that we never have to carry our burdens alone, and that we always will have a chance to start over once we are willing to take the steps to begin. The Elders have a lesson tonight with this man, and they're looking forward to it:)
We also did chalk contacting again this week. I'm going to miss chalk contacting so much once it gets to cold to do it anymore. It is such a good way to find people. They're always so curious as to what we're all doing and ask so many questions. I LOVE IT.
I love my mission, I love my companions, I love Romanian food, and I LOVE ALL OF YOU!
Have a wonderful week!!!
