Curent and Yoda

Iasi is such a beautiful city. It's the Orthodox capital of Romania and the second largest city in the country. There are churches everywhere and our apartment is right in centru, next to a big church. It's very pleasant, especially now, since the huge line of people are gone (see last week's post). 

So this week... 

Sora Kelly arrived! I'm so excited to be working with her again. She's a really good missionary, and an amazing person! We are also blessed with a super fun district, so this transfer should be a good one.

Current is possibly real.... 

So On Tuesday night, Sora Macdonald and I took the train to Buch for transfers. It was a sleeper train and for some reason we left the window open. I lay down in my little cot covered in the blanket and BOOM! I woke up in the morning with a really bad sore throat. I went to sleep healthy, but slept with the window open and woke up sick. Coincidence or correlation? A Romanian would say correlation! I was super sick with a fever and sore throat for a few days. I hate being sick... especially when I have stuff to do, it was very annoying, but thankfully I'm doing great now :)

Yoda's wisdom

Sora and I have adopted a quote from Yoda as our theme lately. It's the quote, "There is no try, there is do or do not". I'd told her the quote the other say and we didn't quite realize how applicable it is. We went contacting the other day and as one girl rejected me and turned back to Sora, shrugged and said, "Well, I tried." and she looked back and said, "no, you did it! There is no try!" I duno if I'm very good at explaining it but it's a positive thinking method we've got going on. There really is no such thing as try, you either did it or you didn't and at the end of the day as I pray and account my day to my father in Heaven I want to be able to say I did it. I didn't always do it well, but I did it. 

Alrighty, This church is true! And that's all I have to say about that. 

Keep the Faith

Love Sora Rivera
