Well…first week in Ploiești. It has been good. I was thinking about my last few emails and I realized that they haven’t been happy, or at least I have shown a lot of the sadder parts in my missionary work, or in my life in general. I don’t mean to sound like a pessimist, because
Thanks for the wonderful email. It is kind of nice to hear about others struggling. Not because I want others to struggle, but I feel so alone in it sometimes.

Thank you mom for the wonderful reminder of this holiday. Mary’s perspective is one that we don’t really see. Meaning we don’t put ourselves in her shoes very often. She really had it rough. You said it straight forward. He was her best friend, and she had to go through the pain and grief of

This week has been a fun one. So naturally we find out transfer boards and we all freak out because it is crazy where people are going and balh blah blah. This week got fun early (in regards to transfers). We get a call from president on Tuesday and he straight up tells us one
Dear wonderfulest family ever, This week has been so very interesting. Meaning we didn’t get out much. I was sad by that, but I swear, everytime we get our hopes up, or we plan something amazing, our heating goes out! Then we have to stay in our apartment while they fix it…for three hours. Ugh.
Just to start this email, the reason why I am emailing you guys today is because two nights ago our heating went out. We had no idea, but we woke up in the morning yesterday and it was SO cold. So we looked at the “centrala” (our heating source) and the normal flame inside was
