Farmer Tans and Sanitation

My district having dinner at the senior couple's house

It's amazing how simple things can completely change your life. This week, I'm thankful for Sora Polatis, for showing me a new way of life, a new culture, a new way of thinking... all by introducing me to one simple thing: a nightgown. That's right! I know it sounds crazy, and old fashioned, and it is! It is crazy and old fashioned. But she was given a nightgown in her second transfer, and has since been converted. She testified to me with power and authority of the peace and happiness they bring. I admit, I was skeptical at first. But I thought the least I could do was try one. So last week we bought my first nightgown, and now I too can say that I am a believer! The bigger and uglier the nightgown... the better! I invite you all to try it, and I promise that your life will be blessed. [pictures will be coming next week, I can't send photos from this computer].

Don't see many signs like this one back home!

Sport's day theme

Sora Polatis

This week, well... it's been one of those weeks where you're pretty sure that all of your investigators had a secret meeting all together and vowed not to call you back. Yeah... awkward! But oh well! We're so positive! Sora and I have really been working on being positive and just having fun no matter what happens! We've had many little miracles, despite the opposition. English classes start tomorrow for example. So we've been working super hard to contact and find as many people as possible. And already, we've had a number of phone calls with people registering for the class! We're really excited! Another one of those little miracles, was that this week, two of our members, Elena and Anca had their 20th birthday! We had a birthday party at the church for them on Wednesday evening, inviting the branch and having games and food. It was super fun and Elena had invited 4 or 5 of her non-member friends! One of them, Roxana, was super open and friendly, and we invited her to church on Sunday. Then on Saturday, Sora and I were on exchanges, and so Sora Polatis and Sora Cook were together, walking over by the old Casino. There was apparently no one around! It's been super hot so the whole world was at the beach. But.... Sora Polatis ran into Roxana! And talked to her about church again, and she came yesterday! YAY! So we're super excited to start working with Roxana! Yay for little miracles :)

On Tuesday last week, we all went to Bucharest for Zone Training. Sora Polatis and I did a presentation all about how to turn your English students into Investigators. In this mission, 50% of baptisms come from English classes. So they're seriously vital! But so often, people don't make the best use of them. So, Sora and I did and super cute presentation! We made chef hats and presented the perfect "recipe" for how to turn those English students into Investigators. We gave everyone cookies and then went through each of the ingredients with cheesy catch phrases such as "butter your students up with snacks" and "Be Egg-cited to meet with them!" :D [Again I have photos of us in our hats, so you'll have to wait till next week].

Planning on the beach

Constanta is so beautiful! Sadly it's getting ridiculously hot which means a lot less clothing for all the people in the city. Apparently I missed some sort of memo, that means that it's socially acceptable for people to wear their swimwear anywhere in the city even if they're not at the beach. Occasionally we'll walk past very overweight old men and women plonked on a random bench on the side of a street, in speedos and bikinis roasting themselves in the hot sun. It's very random! Sora Polatis and I also wanted to join in the tanning population, in our own missionary way of course. We did our weekly planning outside our apartment, on a blanket on the beach the other day. Sora Polatis sadly got quite burned. But now, we're both nice a brown with fantastically white farmer tan lines and knee length tan lines from our skirts. It's very impressive.

This weekend was awesome! Sora Cook and Sora Kelly came to Constanta for an exchange. (again... we have great photos but I'll send them next week). Now for those who don't remember, I was companions with both Sora Cook and Sora Kelly! I love them both soooooooo much! They're both so full of love and such great examples to me. I went with Sora Kelly English contacting and on a lesson! We had the best time, catching up, whilst attempting to contact the 3 people in the city not at the beach. Sora Kelly completely fell in love with the city and is now dying to serve here. I am seriously so blessed to be here in Constanta.

District on the balcony

Random thing. Remember in Tarzan when Tantor is like, "is this water sanitary??! It looks questionable to me" yeah, Sora Polatis and I had one of those moments this week. The water started coming out brown! It was soooo gross! And the longer we ran the water, the worse it got! So thank goodness for water filters and water storage. The water is fine now. Romania likes to turn off water supplies sometimes so the water sits in rusty gross pipes and then comes out gross and all nasty! Oh well, the joys of serving a mission. (PHOTO next week)

Alrighty, That’s about all for now folks! I love you! and thank you all for your love, support and prayers. You're amazing!

Love Sora Rivera

Green Beans are never an Option

With Alina

So Constanta just became EVEN better! I didn't think it was possible. But now, one of my besties in the mission, Sora Abby Polatis, is here with me. We are having so much fun every single day! We've set a ton of fun goals, and random goals and every single day we are improving in the language and in our skills as missionaries. It's awesome! Sora Polatis is from Idaho, from a big family of 8 kids. She has one brother and one sister who are also serving missions! How cool it that? Yeah, I know, sorry, those rhetorical questions in a mass email probably are annoying, but still, she's pretty awesome. Oh... she also LOVES taking pictures, so, get ready peeps! This transfer will be well-documented :)

With Sora Polatis on Transformers day! 

I'm Optimus Prime, she's Bumblebee

Themes and Fun

So Sora Polatis and one of her old companions used to do themed days. Each day was a different theme and they'd wear clothes/jewellery accordingly. Then they'd learn new words or phrases also in accord with the theme. Now, we have decided to continue the tradition. It's making every single day so much more fun! So far we've had Transformers day, Shark Day (because we're attacking the transfer), Bug's Life (just cos I felt like wearing butterfly earrings), and today is Sports Day (because we're dressed to play volleyball for after internet :). So anyhoo, you'll be getting lots of fun photos over the time we're together. We seriously just laugh every single day!

Shark Day!

our pony tails were our "fins" and we're wearing oceany/shark colours 

Language mess ups

So this week, as Sora Polatis and I were teaching our new investigator Gabriella. Gabriella is really awesome and we reckon she has a lot of potential to become a wonderful member of the church. Only problem is that she's quite agnostic so we're starting right from the beginning. As I began to explain to her, the nature of God, she clearly didn't understand that God the Father and Christ and the Spirit are separate beings, though one in purpose. Now, the words for "I am" and "They are"  are the same in Romanian. So I tried to say "They are three separate beings" but, I didn't clarify which word I meant and so it came across as "I am three separate beings, the Father, the Son and the Spirit!" Blasphemous much? yeah... it was kinda awkward. Thankfully the look of terror on her face made me realize that I needed to clarify, and we quickly cleared up that little mess.

Green beans:

Since we had transfers last week, which were brilliant by the way, we didn't have time to go properly grocery shopping. But we figured that since there was a bunch of left-over food in the house,  we'd make it until Monday. We gradually ate through the leftovers, until Friday afternoon, just before weekly planning, we thought that all we had was a bag of frozen green beans. Now, for those of you who don't know... I hate green beans! But, when I was with Sora DeRuvo she showed me how to blend up vegetables into a rather tasty soup just by adding some spices and stuffs. So I thought, hey, maybe green bean soup won't be too bad. Sora didn't have any better ideas so I boiled them up and blended them and added some spices and stuff. We sat at the table, blessed it and proceeded to taste the green sludge. It was awful!! Green bean soup...aka slimey, bland disgustingness, ugh what was I thinking? It resembled something from Tim Burton movie. "Gross!!!" We both grimaced.... and kept on eating it. "Ewwww! Ugh!" We kept on eating it.... We ate it awkwardly laughing at ourselves for about ten minutes, then threw it out and had cereal for Lunch instead. When we later told the story to Sora Cook she said, "Why wasn't cereal your first choice? Why were green beans even an option?" Good question Sora Cook.... good question.

Investigators and stuffs:

Everyone seems to be progressing really well. Alina has a bit of a desire issue, but we had a great lesson with Elena from the branch and she seems to better understand the importance of the restoration now. Andra is doing great. She is really searching for and answer now. We're really going to focus this week on helping her to understand her answer. She's been really struggling with Joseph Smith. I love how, every time and investigator has a problem with a part of the gospel, it is an opportunity for me to strengthen my own testimony of that principal. Well, that has definitely been the case for me this week. My testimony of Priesthood authority and Joseph Smith have grown tremendously. I love it!

This week is prime time for English Contacting. We're really excited to try and get a big class again. Through prayers and hard work, it'll happen! The Lord has been so merciful to me as of late, and it truly inspires me to just work harder and harder so that I can be a little more worthy of His tender mercies.

I love this mission! It's really changing me. I mean, I'm still me. I'm still the same Jessi, just hopefully, a better Jessi. I've really started to discover who I am here. Which talents I've been blessed with, and which weaknesses I get to work on. I love, that every single day is perfectly custom-designed just for me and I get to make the decision to make use of it.

This church is true! Keep the Faith

Love Sora Rivera





Oh... think twice... just another day for me in Paradise

Ceau la voi!!

Giant chair, or tiny me?

I'm staying in Constanta!!!! :D YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! Sora Polatis will be coming to Constanta with me and I'm suuuper excited! Sora Caruso will be off to Chisinau with Sora Peterson and me and Sora Polatis will be living the dream here by the beach!

In one of Elder Maxwell's talks, that I have on my usb stick, he quotes a man saying don't you know leopards never change their spots. And the man replies "well that's true, but you should know that I don't work with leopards, I work with men, and men can change." I think my favourite part of being a missionary is being allowed to witness change in people, being able to see the change that Christ can have in peoples' lives. Remember that huge spiel about my investigator, Andra, last week? The one who we met on the street and then came to church. Yeah... her! Well, she's basically the most legit person EVER!!  Andra is sooo prepared for the gospel! We had 3 lessons with her this week! Just over a week ago, she'd never said a prayer using her own words, and now she prays every lesson, and truly speaks to Heavenly Father. She is reading the. Book of Mormon, has come to church twice and is seeking an answer with a sincere heart and real intent to see if the Book of Mormon is true. Wow! She's just amazing. We've set a tenative baptismal date for July 6th, if she has received her answer. She even told her parents about us and her mum was apparently very "impressed" and we've been invited over to meet her grandmother too. I love Andra. I really can see myself in her. I just pray that she'll be protected from the influence of Satan. 

With Sis Caruso

Funny little story of her: We had just taught the restoration. We gave her the soft baptismal commitment, which is once you receive your answer, will you be baptised? And she just said "yeah" so casually and quickly that we thought maybe she'd misunderstood the question. But no, she understood perfectly. "What will happen at my baptism?" she asked. I was completely shocked! It's never been so simple and easy before, I couldn't believe it. The Lord has been preparing her.  I'll try and take a photo with her this week.

We found a little crutch

In other news... I sprained my ankle. I wish I had a super cool legit story, like, I was being chased by police for teaching the gospel and they tackled me to the ground... but no. The truth is that we were walking along an uneven path and I fell and nearly broke my ankle... but thankfully it's only sprained. The Elders were able to give me a blessing and I've been taking really good care of it. So I should be up and running (get it... running ;) in about a week, according to the mission doctor.

Have I ever told you about the ultimate Frisbee we have going on here in Constanta? (this was before I sprained my ankle). We have sports night every week, with the YSA. It's super fun and a great way to get young investigators fellowshipped. The only thing, is that the branch president Alin, is suuuper competitive. I'm talking Mum vs. John Brandon competitve! Alin, is usually not quite as mean to the investigators that come, but he has no trouble yelling at the missionaries. The other day as we were playing, it was match point. He calls his team over. He goes to me, "Alright, I'm all for this Christ-like love and stuff.... but we GOTTA WIN!" haha, thankfully, we did win! Ha, another example of Alin's competitiveness was about two weeks ago, Sora Caruso was just standing there. "What are you doing?!"Alin yelled at her.

At a mosque

"Well, I figure the wind will just blow the disc to me." She said.

"Oh is that the missionary attittude? Someone will just come along, jump in the font get baptised?!" haha Oh Alin! That's now become one of our favourite quotes. Sports night is seriously one of the highlights of my week. Our investigator, Alina, has started coming, which has been great for helping her to make friends, and we're hoping that Andra will come this week too. Andreea also comes most weeks. It's such a huge blessing, having a YSA.

Oh, also something awesome, my little Sebi, from Arad was baptised this last weekend! I'm so excited for him. I love that little boy and that family. :)

Keep the Faith!

Miracles in Constanta

Buna Ziua!!

I feel like that little fish from Finding Nemo "I'm obnoxious!" but guess what?! I love Constanta! Just in case you missed that notice in the last month's emails! It's just sooo beautiful. We're still running on the beach everyday. And the sea breeze keeps us from getting too hot. This country is stunning, maiales, Constanta! :D

The beach

Okay, I'm done with my weekly comment on the scenery.... This week was yet another wonderful week. The weather has been touch and go, with a couple of showers, a few scorching hot days, and one or two thunderstorms. Andreea returned from her trip to Moldova, stronger and better than ever! She's now reading straight through the Book of Mormon, and in two weeks was finishing 2 Nephi. She's is such a rockstar! We had a lesson with her and Mariana, the branch president's wife, last Friday. It was fantastic! We set a baptismal date in September.  I hope and pray that I'll still be in Constanta to witness Andreea's baptism. Mariana bore the most incredible and powerful testimony during the lesson. She's so legit! Andreea really looks up to Mariana, so it was completely perfect. I also really look up to Mariana. She's one of the coolest people I've ever met! 

Holding a little black chick

One out of the three Alina's is still an investigator. Alina with the backpack. She's awesome! She's started progressing and is starting to recognize the hand of God in her life. She also said her very first prayer, using her own words, the other day. It was so perfect and beautiful and the Spirit was so strong! Elena, from the branch, who is the same age and a recent convert, has become friends with Alina and they hung out all day Saturday! YAY! Elena is so legit! Then Mariana invited both Elena and Alina over for dinner Saturday night and talked to Alina about the church and the gospel. These members here are mind-blowingly awesome! We are so blessed to have members here that will hang out with our investigators and share the Gospel with them, without even being asked.

An elephant!

Then, we also have a new investigator, Andra. We met Andra a couple weeks ago, street contacting for English. She is just finishing High School, and will be turning 18 this summer. She spoke excellent English, and told us that she was preparing to take the SAT because she wants to go to university in America. Then on the street about 2 weeks ago we saw her and we waved to say hello but she was in a hurry and so we didn't get much of a chance to talk. Sora and I talked about it, and decided that if we saw her again we should try and get her number and set up a lesson. Then, in the library on Thursday last week, we were making our way up the stairs and we ran into her! We talked to her for a bit and before we could even say anything she said, "You know, I've ran into you 3 times now, it must be a sign, I think I'd like to know more about what you believe." Sora and I couldn't believe it! Andra was taking the SAT on Saturday so after that she said she was free to meet with us. We invited her to church on Sunday and she came!! She absolutely loved it! Young Womens was all about the Word of Wisdom and everything made complete sense to her. Then, Gospel Principles was about Tithing and even that made sense to her. She participated the whole time and totally understood it! We also gave her a Book of Mormon and taught her a 5 minute version of the Restoration. She loved all of it! Elena also did an amazing job of explaining things to Andra and answering any questions she had. Then, Sacrament meeting was Fast and Testimony, which, as most people can tell you, can be a bit of a gamble. But, I just prayed the whole time that the Spirit would help her to understand, teach her the things she needed to hear, and give her spiritual ear muffs to anything crazy. And yay! It was perfect! She loved the whole thing and even cried as one of the members testified about God knowing us perfectly. Andra is so prepared! I'm so excited to see what the Lord has in store for her. We'll be meeting with her again tonight and I can't wait!

Random funny language moment - This actually belongs to Sora Caruso but it's too funny not to tell. After Frisbee on Friday, Sora had a huge bruise on her leg! I asked her what happened and she said "Am crezut in iarba!" Which means "I believed in the grass! What she meant to say was "Am cazut in iarba" which means "I fell in the grass". hahahaha. She's so cute!

Miracle in the rain - Yesterday, we had a cool little experience. We went to go contacting in the park, and all of a sudden dark thick rain clouds rolled in. The heavens opened! "The rains came down and floods came up ;) We were soaking wet in seconds! We ran for shelter onto the staircase of a bank. We were a little disappointed that we couldn't go contacting. But then, two girls, also trying to escape the flash floods came running on to the staircase too. We all looked at each other and laughed about the mascara running down our faces and our ruined hair. We got talking to the girls and had a 15 minute gospel discussion. They weren't interested in meeting with us, but it was a really good conversation and who knows, maybe we left them with a good impression and a few seeds were planted. Just goes to show, that even when the rain clouds come rolling in, you can still find little miracles and things to be grateful for.

Okay, familia mea si prietenii mei, am plecat!

I love you all and I'm so grateful for you love and continued support!

Keep the faith!

Constanta... still a dream

Running on the beach

Constanta has to be the best place in the whole world!!! I know I keep saying this every week! I'm just soo grateful and I need to shout it out!! We are still running everyday on the beach. I keep finding cute fluffy puppies everywhere. Lidl the grocery store is having English week this week and selling Heinz Baked beans!! So yeah, I'm just loving life! I feel like I'm in a dream!

I love how many of my friends back home, and people all over the world seem to be "catching the wave" of missionary work. I love it! How cool? I remember on the plane from the states to Amsterdam on the way here, I was sitting next to a guy and I made it a goal that I would give him a mormon.org card. Goodness, I was so nervous. I talked to him for a good chunk of the flight then right as we were landing, I still hadn't given him the card. I said prayers for Heavenly Father to help me, and I was seriously so nervous. But right as the plane taxied in I gave him the card and told him about the website. I remember I was so proud of myself! Now, my confidence has really grown and I talk to people here, there and everywhere about the Gospel in another language, nonetheless, but the truth is that as long as we are doing our best, and trying to push ourselves out of our comfort zone then the Lord with bless us and help us know what to do and say.

Investigators... Andreea is doing wonderful, as always. She was out of town this past week for a few days, but she'll be back today and we're meeting with her Friday. I seriously missed that girl!

View from our window

We had a super amazing experience with our investigator, Lucretia, this past week. She is the mother of a young man from the branch, Gabi. Gabi, has to be one of the most legit people I've ever met. He found the church through English, a few years ago, and now he is about to go on a mission. He had his last interview with President Hill on Friday! Gabi really exemplifies what it means to be converted unto the Lord. Gabi's Mother, Lucretia, has never been very interested, nor opposed to the church. She comes from humble circumstances and has a lot of trials in her life and in the past hasn't been able to see how the Gospel could help, but last Sunday, she came to church completely out of the blue, so we set up a lesson with her and Gabi. We taught her about the restoration and the lesson went beautiful. Gabi testified to his mum with the Spirit, and such power! She told us that she wants to change her life. We were able to testify to her that through Christ, she really can change. Lucretia also said her first out loud prayer, using her own words. I decided to just go ahead and ask her to pray and if she was hesitant than I was planning to help her, but she said okay and said a perfect beautiful prayer. Gabi, was completely shocked and after saying Amin, he looked wide-eyed at us and said "wow!" I think one of my favourite things about being a missionary is teaching others to pray and getting to witness their first prayers. Their very first spoken conversations with their Father in Heaven.

So we currently have 5 investigators! 5!!! Say whaaattt??? I know right?! I've never had so many investigators before. So there's the two I've already explained, Andreea and Lucretia, and then there are three young women named Alina.

Alina 1 - is 19, found bus contacting about English. This Alina is quite tall so we've nick named her Tall Alina. She is quite open and has started to say her own prayers and is reading the Book of Mormon. Last week we invited her to read Alma 32 and she loved it! We were also able to have a lesson with Alina and Elena, a recent convert who is also 19. Elena was a great help and testified to her strongly about comign t church! I just love lessons with members! They're so key!

chalk contacting with the Elders

Alina 2 - Nicknamed, little Alina, because she's just a little tiny thing! She is 24 years old and just finishing a masters. We found her through English, she's in the beginners class. Last Tuesday, during the spiritual thought of English classes we explained why the Book of Mormon is so important and what it means to us and then invited our students to take a copy and meet with us. One student who came to get a Book of Mormon was little Alina. We agreed that after English class on Saturday we would meet and talk more about it, and we asked her if she'd read the introduction of the Book of Mormon before Saturday. So Saturday roles around... after English we went and sat in one of the classrooms with Alina and started to get to know her a little better. Then we pull out a Book of Mormon to begin the lesson and she pulls out her Book of Mormon from her bag, along with a folder with a page and a half of notes that she took after reading the introduction! It was soo cool. She just lit up inside and smiled as she talked about all the things she learnt and how excited she was to meet with us! It was soo cool!

Alina 3 - Nicknamed Backpack Alina, because she has a bright red backpack. We met with backpack Alina for the first time yesterday. She is in the intermediate English class and was curious about what we are doing here in Romania so we set up the lesson to talk with her about what we do. She is 24 years old, living here in Constanta with her boyfriend. She is looking for ways to improve her life and is really open to learning about other churches. We also mentioned Mariana, who is the branch president's wife and Alina was really excited and she asked us if Mariana could come to the next lesson! Alina is soooo cute! She said she doesn't really have many friends in Constanta and would really love to get to know more people. Well perfect! We told her, there are many great people here at our church! We're meeting with her again on Wednesday. The spirit was super strong in the lesson. The Lord has really blessed us with opportunities to meet prepared people.

I'm so excited to see what the Lord has in store for us this week! The work is going well, and the Lord is pouring out blessings and opportunities for us to teach. So, we're doing our absolute best to show Him our gratitude and make use of all of the opportunities.

I wrote like 8 letters in the past week, and I'll be buying stamps this week, so everyone who has written should be receiving a reply soon :)

Thanks for your love and support!

Keep the faith!

Blessings Blessings Blessings!

On the scale of 1 to freakin' awesome... how is Constanta? Well I'd have to put it up there with the freakin' awesome :D. I just love it so much here! We've been so blessed here and the blessings are continuing to pour in! As I told you all last week, we go running every morning along the beach. The weather is starting to get very hot, so even by 6.30 a.m. as we start our run it's usually very warm. Some days we get extra lucky and there is a sea breeze to cool us off.

For the past two weeks we've been English contacting like crazy!! Every opportunity we had, we were talking to people, inviting them and committing them to come to English. And it really paid off! The Lord blessed us so much! There were 33 people at our first English class! So many people that we had to split them into 3 separate classes. A lot of people become acquainted with the church through the English program. So it was amazing to have so many new people in the church building. We even had a few of the families, which we'd met in the park come. On Saturday, the numbers for English dropped a little but we still had a good size. Sora Caruso and I are teaching the Medium class. There was this family in the medium class. A mum, dad and little 8 year old boy named Andre. Andre was just the cutest thing! We were teaching them about Auxiliaries and how to make a question in any tense. And he really understood it well and by the end was doing it perfect. We're hoping that we'll be able to set up a gospel lesson with them next week.

We love puppies

Our beautiful investigator Andreea is doing fantastic as usual. We'd asked her to pray about a baptismal date and she did. She's decided that she wants to wait until after the summer, in September. She told us she will definitely be baptised but she wants to wait. Now, normally this would send red warning flags of doubt through my mind, but knowing Andreea and how determined she is I really believe that she will be baptised then. She has a job this summer and isn't sure how often she'll be able to come to church because she might be working on Sundays, and she told us that she doesn't want to be baptised and then have to break the Sabbath day. As she explained this to us, I had a really good feeling. We had the lesson at Mariana's house. Mariana is the branch president's wife and basically the coolest person I've ever met! Andreea really loves and looks up to her. Andreea and her sister Elena, who is a recent convert, spend a lot of time with Mariana and she is constantly teaching and strengthening them. We always have to be super creative with our lessons with Andreea because she seriously knows all of the material perfectly, since she's been attending institute twice a week and church every week for the past several months. She's a really committed person and is really coming to know the Saviour. I'm so grateful that I have this opportunity to witness her conversion process. Sora and I were joking around though, that Andreea is really Mariana's investigator instead of ours. Which, is the way it should be! The members need to fellowship and love people because they're the ones who'll stay, the missionaries will sadly leave in just a few short months. I am hoping though, that I'll get to stay in Constanta until September to witness her baptism.

Yet another blessing this past week was to have a lesson with another 19 year old girl, Alina. We do 30 minutes of English lesson with her and then 30 minutes of Gospel lesson. She is unbelievabley sharp! She understood everything in both lessons instantly. We talked to her about what the restoration of the gospel means and what it means if the Book of Mormon really is the word of God, and she understood it perfectly. I wondered if it was one of my MTC teachers just pretending to be the investigator. She understood everything and agreed to read a chapter of the Book of Mormon and pray about it. She also agreed to a soft baptismal commitment. She is a lot like Andreea in many ways. Very smart, kind and determined. Elena will be coming to our next lesson with Alina too. I can see Elena, Andreea and Alina all being really good friends. I love working with the YSA in this branch. It's amazing!

RANDOM moment of the week... Remember that one time I gave my companion a black eye. Haha... okay joke, we don't really know if it was me. But last Friday we were playing ultimate Frisbee and Sora and I accidentally collided really hard and now she has a black eye. She also ran into some other people too and the branch president Alin is super competitive and plays pretty rough so it's possible that it wasn't me. It's not bad at all really just a little bruised, but still kinda random.

Okay well that's all for now. I love you all! Thanks for your prayers and support and loves and stuffs.
