When in Iasi

Me in front of the Palace

This week has been great! Haha, I just wrote that sentence and thought back to how actually we were bunged (ditched) every single day! But it really was a good week anyway. We went la Tara yesterday, adica, we went out of the city, then we got stranded, because the person we were visiting said we couldn't come, then since it was Sunday there were no more buses going back so we had to call a member to come drive out and rescue us. It was hilarious and there were many photos involved. We also had 1 lesson with Maricica. She's still her hilarious hippy self. Still won't pay tithing... but loved learning about the second coming yesterday in church, maybe I should mention "fire insurance" ;)

An Awesome Church

The biggest Dog I have every seen

Not tons to report this week, so I wrote a poem to give you "a day in the life of me" Enjoy:

Six-thirty, the alarm sounds beep!

Was that really just 8 hours of sleep?

I roll out of bed, slump onto the floor

and speak with my father in Heaven once more

Get ready, then studies, we prep for the day

Review some grammar and new words to say

We call our appointment, "We still on for 2?"

"I'm working!" she says, "I can't meet with you!"

Our other appointment just gave us a beep,

we call her back, now she can't meet!

Cards, pliants and books, we're off to the street

We need to find more people to teach!

We stop a man, "What's the purpose of life?"

With a wink and a grin, "to find me a wife!"

Next we stop a woman, "Have you heard of this book?"

"I'm orthodox!" she yells, with a dirty look

The next young woman wags her finger at me,

"Hey!" I say, "We teach English for free!"

"Where?!" she asks in English, "I is knowing just some."

""Here's the address," I say, :You really should come".

We walk past the gara, and over the tracks,

Over the sketchy bridge, watch out for cracks!

A couple of hours, a few people've been nice,

They want to come much closer to Christ.

Now we are hungry, I really need food!

A chocolate filled covrig will brighten my mood.

Eating, we meet a girl who's seen us before

But now she's interested and wants to know more

We go home for dinner, what should we eat?

Burritos of course, just leave out the meat!

After dinner we'll go, to a member's home

She hasn't been to church and she's feeling alone

At the door we make sure, to remove our shoes quick

then put on their slippers. or else we'd get sick

we talk and read scriptures, invite her to come back

For Christ will make up, for all that we lack!

We go home for planning, to finish the night

The lessons I've learned in my journal I write

Lights out 10.30, I'm ready to sleep,

Only 8 hours till I again hear the beep.

Also....I've been studying 3rd Nephi this week... Jesus is the Christ! He's not just some guy with good morals... he is our redeemer and our Saviour. Love him, serve him! Keep the Faith everyone!
