Hey there Family and Friends(: </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
What an amazing week - it seriously felt like a roller coaster at times, but it all ended up okay!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I can't believe that this is my last full week as a missionary, people keep asking me how I feel (freaking out inside) and I don't know what to say, I'm not sure that it will really hit me what happened the past 18 months until I'm on the plane...but maybe thats a good thing haha. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I just want to say what an amazing opportunity it has been to be here in Romania - and to get to know these incredible people who have been though so so much, and truly just opened up their hearts. They have made such an impact on my heart, and have truly changed me for the better. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I also cannot express the great amount of gratitude I have for each of you, for your support and prayers and emails - they have meant the world to me. You all have each been such a great support and source of strength and light for me to look to - and I cannot even tell you how much I love you and what a tremendous difference you have made for me and for my mission. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I love you all - and I am excited to see you all soon!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Have a great week,</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
It was a great week this past week!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
We were able to go this week to a big Sibiu Basketball game to go and support one of the members in our little branch. He and his wife and 9 month year old daughter are from the United States, and are here in Romania for him to play basketball. He is WAY good! And guess what is even more cool - hahaha they are from AMERICAN FORK! Lol and guess where they went to High School? Yes! AF High! hahaha graduates of 2012!!(: Super cool - We are super glad to have Marcel and Paige here!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
We also got the chance to go with one of our members to his new job which is at a traditional Romanian bakery and that was SUPER fun! They make like 165 little loaves of bread in like 20 minutes in this HUGE brick oven, it was literally the coolest thing ever haha(: </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
We met a super cute girl this week named Paula who has been coming to our English classes for a little bit - and she always loved the little spiritual thoughts that we shared at the end with her. So we offered to meet with her later on - to help her with English and talk about the gospel more and all that good stuff, and so we met, and we started to work on English, and she just kept bringing up God and faith and we were like, "well awesome!" hahaha(: So we just went right into a lesson and shared that really powerful "Because of Him" video with her. She immediately started crying, and the Spirit was SO powerful! She opened up about how she doesn't feel any self-worth, but how she knows that God will help her when she tries to do what is right. It was seriously SUCH an amazing lesson as we were able to testify that she is a daughter of God, and that the lessons that we have can bring great hope and JOY! (I love that word(: ) So we will see how it goes this week when we teach her the Restoration! Keep her in your prayers(: </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
Also - on November 1st its a Romanian holiday, the Day of the Dead, where they all go to the cemetery and light a ton of candles on their ancestors graves. So Sora Gubar and I went and checked that out and it was literally the COOLEST thing ever - just a TON of candles everywhere. I truly love this country - Romania will always have my heart(: </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
I sure love you guys! I hope that you'll have a great week - let me know if I can ever do anything for you!</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: black;">What a crazy week! So fun though - and totally just flew by!(:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: black;">So I got to head on back to CLUJ for a few days - ah it was so so awesome to see everyone and to see that amazing city!!! I tried to see Felicia but she didn't end up coming): But hopefully I will get to see her at district conference before I leave(: It was so surreal to be back - it truly is such a dear place in my heart! Will forever be a part of home for me(: Zone Conference went really well and </span>it was all about sharing our personal stories with people about why we came to be missionaries. It was just super powerful as we each went around and took 30 seconds to share the "why" of why we're here(: SO cool!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: black;">But this week here in Sibiu we have seen great miracles - we were able to meet with several members and we ended up having a amazing turnout at church <span data-term="goog_1413972862" tabindex="0">on Sunday</span>. Sora Gubar and I have been trying to help these members and recent converts strive to reach the next ordinance (so like the temple, priesthood, get a calling,etc) and we truly just want to help them progress. But it was so cool because this past week we sat down with 2 different members and made spiritual plans to help them go to the temple, and Cami (our recent convert from April) just received a calling yesterday to be in the Relief Society Presidency! We are so excited for this - and we know that as we continue working hard - we will know how to help them through the guidance of the Spirit to help them strengthen their testimony and the Sibiu branch. It was just so cool because often times as a missionary I think that you often measure your success by the number of baptisms you have - but in reality, you are sent to find people yes, but you are also sent to help and strengthen these members, less activies, and recent converts progress and "endure to the end" too ya know? Which is a big thing for this little branch haha(: </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: black;">We also had one of the coolest P-days ever yesterday with the Browns! We went up the mountain to go and see the famous </span><span style="color: black; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">transfagarasan freeway (look it up - its pretty cool) (: But like halfway up the mountain - we could not see ANYTHING out of Elder Browns car haha - it was just completely white. but we kept going in hopes that the storm would clear hahaha and nope. but it was awesome(: haha. SO we headed back down the mountain - saw all the amazing fall leaves (we literally experienced like 3 seasons all less than a hour haha) and then we headed to a cool Castle Fortress in a neighboring town. I literally am never ceased to be amazed about the amazing beauty of Romania! It truly is such a special country!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">I hope that you guys had a great halloween - and that you'll have an amazing week(: </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">

<span style="background-color: #e7e6e2;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">We had an AMAZING lesson last night with one of our investigators - Claudia, and the senior couple, the browns. We had an amazing dinner at their house with her, and it turned into one of the most spiritual, unifying lessons that I have had on my mission thus far. We were able to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ - and the Spirit was so powerful. It was so great to have a <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1820283216" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span> meal together - it truly does just bring you like so much joy just to be together ya know? plus like good food?

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
What a crazy couple of weeks! First of all I am SO excited to say that I am staying here in the amazing city of SIBIU! It truly is SO gorgeous and I feel so blessed to be staying here with these amazing people.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
We have been seeing so many different miracles this past week - and it has been so cool to see how obedience, diligence, and hard work have such an enormous connection and relation to each other ya know? My new companion (Sora Gubar) and I have been block knocking a lot this past week because it has been super cold here - and so that has been quite the adventure! You truly never know what lies behind each door ya know? haha. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
But for example, we met one of the COOLEST guys ever this past week who lived on the "Fourth Floor - at the Last Door" ( just like President Uchtdorfs last General Conference talk! #hanice) His name is "Ioan" and he is missing his right leg and lives by himself - but spends the whole day reading. So we gave him a book of Mormon and we are going to back to go see him <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_300575185" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span> to see how he liked it! He said he would read so we'll see what ends up happening!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">This week we are going to strive to set a baptismal date with a wonderful 22 year old girl named Claudia. She is amazing. She has attended church twice, has read several chapters in the book of Mormon (and highlighted many verses in specific colors according to how she felt) and just is so receptive to the love and peace of the Spirit. She would be such a positive influence for the branch and is just so full of light and joy! Super cool girl(: So be sure to keep her in your prayers!</span></span></div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Yesterday we had a super fun in the cool town of Sighisoara - which is the town where Vlad Dracul, the famous "Dracula" was born haha. We were so stoked to see his house and all that - and when we walked in..well. it wasn't what we expected hahaha - but got us all in the halloween type spirit(; haha</span></div>

Hey there!(: </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Sorry for the super short email this week once again - but it was truly such a good week and I am so excited for this upcoming one!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The past few days we were in Bucharest for MLC (Mission Leadership Conference) and it was amazing! We had a great time and we learned so so much about how to get the mission going with finding. Our mission received the challenge 2 years ago from President Kearon to be teaching 7 lessons a week per companionship, and finding 2 new investigators per week. We have been achieving the lessons goal, and have even reached 8 lessons a week per companionship - but we are still needing to work on finding new people. It was so cool because we talked about why that is so important, and it lead a lot to the subject of agency. That truly is such an amazing and special gift that is such an important part of Gods plan. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
So this upcoming week Sora Chandler and I are going to strive to talk to over 100 people together. AH!(: It will be awesome(: And we are going to try to not only just talk to them, but have a meaningful conversation with them. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
We are going to be showing the movie, meet the mormons this upcoming Saturday and we are on the mission to invite the ENTIRE city of Sibiu haha(: To come and hear about this!(: Its the last week of this transfer - and so we are going to try and give it all we got! I love Sora Chandler so so much and we have had an amazing past 5 weeks together -we have truly become such great friends and we have worked hard to push each other to be the best missionaries and people we can be. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I sure love you guys! We will see if I will be staying here in Sibiu for my last transfer or not on Saturday - and I will be sure to let you know Monday! </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Have a great week!(: </div>

Hey there!(: </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
This week was quite the week - full of all sorts of adventures here in Sibiu haha(: </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
To start it all off we had a big huge branch BBQ on Saturday night which actually turned out really well! We had about 20 people there, including the 6 missionaries which is a pretty good record for Sibiu!(: 4 investigators came too which was awesome!(: The Relief Society made scripture bags #hanice and then the men were all downstairs cooking. They made some french fries and stuffed cheese mushrooms and Mici hamburgers. If you don't know what mici is - its like a Romanian sausage that is basically the meat AND parts of a pig, cow, and lamb all mixed together. nasty. So they made that meat into hamburgers haha it was so gross. but they all loved it. And to make things even more disgusting, after church yesterday there was extra mici from the night before, and we have no microwave, so for Priesthood they were all eating cold mici hamburgers haha #gross</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
So anyways! A lot of our lessons fell through this week unfortunately - but we were able to go contacting a lot which was pretty fun(: Sibiu is FINALLY getting some cold weather and so we are so excited to not be dying in the heat anymore haha(: </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
This week I met a WAY cool family from New Zealand who are actually living in Brasov and came to Sibiu for a quick visit. They had the coolest accents ever!(: haha. But anyways - they were such open, happy, and bright people who just were so excited to hear more! It was so cool because after a week of just trying and trying - we finally found an amazing family! A tender mercy for sure(: </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Sure love you guys! Have a great week!</div>

<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
My cute companion totally got the stomach flu pretty bad this week, so we were inside for a couple of days while she was recovering. And it was actually good because we were able to go through the area book and really try to find new people and older people who we could work with and teach ya know? We are really struggling with finding people right now, but we are hoping and praying that this week we will see miracles(: and new faces(: </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Other than that - we were able to go to one of the COOLEST castles today in Hunedoara!(: SO fun - I seriously cannot express how much I love this country and these people, they are truly just hidden gems(: </div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
This week has truly been a week full of miracles and full of amazing blessings!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
It all started by us taking a awesome 6 hour train to Bucharest haha #yes and staying the night with two amazing Soras there - one of them being my old MTC companion Sora Padgett!(: I love her SO much, we have both grown and changed so much on the mission, and she is truly one of my dear, dear friends! It was so good to see her!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Then <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_383835008" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Wednesday</span></span> morning - we all gathered at the chapel in Bucharest and got to hear from President Uchtdort and President Kearon and shake their hands. It was an experience I will never forget! President Uchtdorf was SO kind, and truly took his time to talk to each and everyone of us, as where we were from, etc. You could just totally feel his sincere love for each and every one of us ya know?</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
They both shared amazing messages about how we need to share the importance that we are sons and daughters of a loving Heavenly Father - that this is a message of LOVE that this world has a need of hearing. It was amazing to hear the inspired council that was given for us missionaries to hasten the work here in Romania. He told us to study, study, and study Preach my Gospel always (as missionaries and back home), and that throughout the rest of our lives we should read the Joseph Smith History at least once a month. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
He told us the importance of sharing our talents, and he told us again and again how much we are loved<3 He made many references to airplanes, shared his wifes conversion story, and bore testimony again and again of the prophets sincere love for the members of the church. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Probably my favorite part though of everything that he said was that if we ever get discouraged - that we need to remember that there are SO many prayers that are being offered on our behalf. That the members all across the world and in many temples are praying for us to have success in the Lords work. He said that when factoring in all the time zones - we are literally being prayed for 24/7...what a huge blessing is that??? </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
It was such a powerful realization to me about the power and love that comes with prayer - I truly cannot even describe how much those prayers mean to me, how much I have felt them change me and change this work here. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
After hearing from them - we took a bus up to Brasov to see the beautiful castle Peles, and then we took the bus to another castle to have dinner - it was BEAUTIFUL! and SO good to see everyone and just have a great time(: </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
The next day we had a great devotional by a member of the 70 named Elder Boom - He is a ROCKSTAR! It was SO cool to hear from him and his wife - they had many great ideas of how we can find more people here - to help the church grow. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
It was such a great conference - and such a great week! one that truly had such an impact on me and on my testimony(: </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I sure love you all -and I hope that you'll all have a fantastic week,</div>

<div>
<span style="color: black;">Hey there family and friends!(: </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;">This is going to be a little bit short - because this week we are having our big mission conference, and MLC <span data-term="goog_912611578" tabindex="0">on Wednesday</span>, <span data-term="goog_912611579" tabindex="0">Thursday</span>, and <span data-term="goog_912611580" tabindex="0">Friday</span>(:</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #500050;"><span style="color: black;">We will be taking a 6 hour train <span data-term="goog_912611581" tabindex="0">Tuesday</span> afternoon, and then we'll get to have a little mini conference wit</span></span>h President Uchtdorf <span data-term="goog_912611582" tabindex="0">Wednesday</span> morning with President Kearon as well(: SO excited for that! Then we will be driving to Brasov, and we'll stay there till <span data-term="goog_912611583" tabindex="0">Thursday</span> - and then we'll have MLC <span data-term="goog_912611584" tabindex="0">on Friday</span> in Bucharest! haha YES!(: </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today we will have a broadcast from President Uchtodrf in Bucharest, hopefully lots of people will come to that, we have really been pushing for that here in Sibiu!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sibiu is SO little and SO cute! haha I am constantly in awe that its so just, quiet here haha(: </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The branch here is pretty small - there were about 7 members in church yesterday, which is apparently a pretty good record. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sibiu is awesome because there is apparently big big festivals every weekend here in the main square - which is perfect for contacting. We dont have too many people here that we are working with at the moment - but we are going to do our best to change that and just work super hard at talking to people and finding people. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope that you all have a great week - thanks for all that you do!</div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
This week was amazing - Sora Green and I worked SO hard and had a blast!(: She is seriously one of my favorite people ever - definitely one of my best friends out here for sure(: </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
We were able to meet with SO many people, basically as many as we could in the 4 days that we had together. We kinda got a late start on Monday because Sora Strader missed her plane, but we were out the door early Tuesday morning seeing around 6-7 people a day all around the city. It was CRAZY haha(: But it was so so good. She is going to do a great job there these next few weeks - I truly wouldn't have wanted to leave Cluj and these people with anyone else!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Speaking of leaving Cluj...I am now in the amazing, BEAUTIFUL city of SIBIU!!!(: haha SO cool right?(: I mean like - I've only been here for like 12 hours but from what I have seen and heard, I am truly so excited and happy to be here!(: The branch is pretty small here, but we are going to just start off these next few weeks just workin super hard and doin our best - and I am sure that we are going to see some miracles. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Not gonna lie though - I truly feel like I left part of my heart over there in Cluj. It was SO hard saying goodbye to the friends that I made there and to the incredible branch. It has been such a blessing to be there for 10 months - to see their progression and to have gotten to know them in a personal, deeper way. But I am so excited to see what Sibiu has in store!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I hope that you all have an amazing week - and let me know if I can ever do anything for any of you. Next week President Uchdorf is coming! And Mission conference is going to be happening in Brasov which will be SO cool. So I will be sure to keep you all posted!(: </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Have a great week!</div>

Hey there family and friends!(:<br /></div>
Thank you so much for all of the kind emails this week - I really appreciate it(: I love hearing from you all and every email you send means the world to me!<br /></div>
This week flew by fast again - it was pretty interesting actually. But I learned something really amazing that I wanted to share with you(:<br /></div>
I just want you to know that God, really truly, has a divine relationship and plan for each and everyone of us. This week I was really studying the concept of Humility - and in true to the faith it defines it as "to recognize gratefully your dependence on the Lord—to understand that you have constant need for His support. It is not a sign of weakness, timidity, or fear; it is an indication that you know where your true strength lies."</div>
So true and SO key! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
I have learned so much, time and time again these past few months - and especially these past few weeks that we CANNOT go through life alone. It is TOO hard. And the amazing thing about Gods plan is that we don't need to go through these hard things alone. God is going to make sure that you are taken care of - He is going to show you miracle after miracle, tender mercy after tender mercy if you simply reach out to Him - and ask for help. I PROMISE you that He will give you strength, He will comfort you and reassure you. I truly believe that He knows what is best for each and every one of us - and that as we rely on Him and His infinate love and grace - by turning our hearts to Him through prayer and deed, that He is going to strengthen us and help us to become better!<br /></div>
I sure love each and everyone of you! Life is hard - but it is something that we don't have to do alone. I know and testify of that to be true! God does hear and answer prayers - and He sure does love you!(:<br /></div>
Have a great week -<br /></div>

<div>
Hey there family and friends!(:<br /></div>
Sorry again for such a short email this week - literally all of the things have been happening haha(: But, there were some amazing miracles that we saw this week for sure!<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
The first thing is, is that we had an amazing lesson with Sebi! Ah yes! #lessgo. He is seriously just such a rockstar - and he is someone who I know will make such a great difference for the church here in Romania once he decides to commit to baptism. We taught him the Law of Chastity - which is like...stressful and kinda #awk at first haha - but it turned out to be an amazing lesson! The Branch President, President Iepure was able to come and help us out, and it was so incredible to see Sebi's connection to the gospel and the people in the branch grow even more. We gave him a Proclamation to the Family - and he took it and said hows hes going to go and lamanate it for his family and all of these things and like....he is just such a rockstar. #hanice He is progressing so well and I cannot wait to see his life and his family's lives change for the better through this gospel(:<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
I sure hope that you guys had an amazing week - let me know if I can ever do anything for you okay?(:<br /></div>

Sorry that we don't have too much time this week - but these past few days have been absolutely incredible! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
Sadly we had to say goodbye to the Nelsons yesterday, which honestly was one of the hardest goodbyes ever...but luckily it is just a "see you soon" kinda goodbye(: They have done so much for the missionaries and branch here - it has been so incredible to see and be a part of it all!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
Other than that we had a great zone conference, a great exchange with the Arad sisters, and met some new, great people(: Heavenly Father is seriously providing us with so many miracles and tender mercies each and ever day - we are so blessed!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
Sure love you all!</div>

<div>
Hey there Family and Friends!(:<br /></div>
This week was a rollercoaster full of ups and downs - but it was a week full of the Spirit confirming and tesifying truths!<br /></div>
So we met with Angel twice this week - and the second visit was a little bit rough. He told us that he needed to talk to us, so we met up with him in a park and he told us how he couldn't go forward with his baptisimal date - and told us all of his concerns and all the things that are holding him back. It was kinda discouraging not going to lie..and honestly I was pretty sad. However, the more that I thought about it, and prayed about it - I realized how proud I was of him for saying something to us, and how he really truly wasn't ready because he wasn't willing to sacrafice and keep commitments. It was just hard I think because I love him so so much, and I want him to excel and take this step that I KNOW will bring him so much happiness, but he isn't willing to act and find that out for himself right now. But you know what it is totally okay(: And we are going to keep working with him and praying for him, so that hopefully, one day, he is ready to take that step!<br /></div>
A great highlight from this week was that we were able to meet with this older english student named Liliana - haha she is literally one of my favorite people ever! She really clicked super well with the Nelsons - and she invited us all over to her home that she had just remodeled. She isnt married, has no kids, and her sister passed away when she was 15...so she is all alone. When we got there - she told us that this was the first time she had allowed guests into her home in the past 5 years since her mother had passed away. And man it was so cool to see how much she opened up and just loved it. She prepared 17 different dishes for us to try - it was SO MUCH FOOD! hahaha We all just felt so so stuffed afterwards, but it was just how she showed her love - it was so cute! We explained what the Book of Mormon was - and invited her to church - and guess who came?(: AH MIRACLES!(: Honestly such a huge highlight of my week(:<br /></div>
I sure love you guys! This is the last week of the Nelsons mission, and we also have exchanges with the Arad sisters here, and zone conference...so it will be quite the week, but a great one(:<br /></div>
Love you guys!(:<br /></div>

Hey there family and friends!!(:</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
So....guess who is staying in CLUJ???(: hahahaha YES! Ten and a half months in literally my favorite city on earth(: #LESSGO I am SO excited to stay here for another transfer - literally tied with the mission record for longest time spent in a city haha(: But it will be good! I'll get to be here for Angel's baptism and I can't wait to see the other miracles that are in store for the amazing people and branch here in Cluj!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
So I am now serving with Sora Strader - who I actually have been on exchanges with two times before this haha(: So pretty cool(: She is awesome! She is Ukrainian - and was adopted from there when she turned 13, and has lived in Utah ever since! She is seriously such a rockstar - always so ready to work and go go go!(: We are going to be STLs again here, so that also will be super fun(:</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Things with Angel are progressing! And it has been great to see him so happy and so prepared! Be sure to keep him in your prayers - we are hoping that everything will go through!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
It truly was SO hard to say goodbye to Sora Andrus - she was one of my best friends, and we just had a great time together! But I know that she will excel and do great things in the city of Ploiesti - and she will actually be serving with my MTC bud - Sora Cutler! Which will be great(: </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I hope that you all have had an amazing week!(: Keep me posted!</div>

Hey there family and friends!(:<br /></div>
I hope that each of you had an amazing week - and that some cool exciting things happened haha(:<br /></div>
Here in Cluj there were miracles this week! ANGEL IS GOING TO BE BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<wbr></wbr>!! HOW AMAZING IS THAT!!! hahahaha I've been like FREAKIN out all week long(: <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_730189018" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">JULY 30th</span></span>. YES! #rockstar! #hanice<br /></div>
I seriously am SO excited for him though!<br /></div>
So last week we had challenged him to fast about a decision - and he totally did and he LOVED it. Unfortunately he wasn't able to meet with us ALL week to talk about the date of the 16th....so by F<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_730189019" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">riday</span></span> (when we met with him) it was too late kinda. HOWEVER. We decided to use one of President Ivory's ideas about proposing three baptismal dates for him to be able to set a goal, and then him choosing. Its kinda like if you're a parent and you set out two different outfits for them to choose - its the symbolizim of it ya know(:<br /></div>
So we pulled out a calendar and bore powerful powerful testimony about the purpose of setting a date - and the blessings that come from baptism. It was SO. COOL! We had laid out the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_730189020" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">30th of July</span></span>, and the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_730189021" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">13th of August</span></span> and the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_730189022" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">27th of August</span></span> - and it was so so interesting because satan literally put every excuse/doubt/insecurity in his mind....but once he agreed to pray about it and let us know the following tday, the air cleared and he just was smiling and smiling(: All the tension was gone it was awesome. I prayed SO much that night for him, and so so much all day....and then he finally came to english class the following day and us, the nelsons, and him all went in the back room, said a kneeling prayer, and he just had this HUGE grin(: hahahaha and he agreed to the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_730189023" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">30th of July</span></span>(: He wants the Nelsons to be there SO bad - and they are leaving the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_730189024" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">2nd of August</span></span> so it will be SO PERFECT! He KNOWS that its true - and I am SO proud of him for stepping up and acting!(:<br /></div>
So just be sure to keep him in your prayers - they really are working miracles here in Cluj!(:<br /></div>
I sure love you guys - and I hope you have a fabulous week!!!(:<br /></div>

<div>
Hey there family and friends!(:<br /></div>
This week went by super super fast! But things are going SO well - and people are progressing(:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
So we challenged Margareta and Ioana to the date of <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_689628526" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">July 8th</span></span> - and they said that it was too fast because they are going out of town on vacation for the next 3 weeks but that they will continue to fast and pray about it all while they are gone, so still SUPER awesome!(: They are amazing, and SO happy, and I cannot wait to hear more about their progression later on(:<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
We were able to have Zone Conference here <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_689628527" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Wednesday</span></span> - and it was absolutely amazing! President Ivory gave a fantastic presentation about declaring Gods love for these people with all the energy of heart!(: It was amazing!<br /><br />I feel like I was able to do that this last week when we met with Angel this past <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_689628528" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Friday</span></span> evening. He told us how baptism was uncertain for him, and how he wanted to make sure he knew everything before he committed to taking that next step, and setting a date. However I remembered what we talked about <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_689628529" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Wednesday</span></span>,about serving with all of our hearts - opening up our hearts to give them completely over to these people and to the Lord - and I just felt prompted to bear a powerful testimony about Gods love for him. About our love for him. About how much I have seen him progress in the 9 months that I have known him and that his Father in Heaven is SO proud of him. We committed him to fast with us <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_689628530" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Sunday</span></span> - and we called him last night to follow up and he will be giving us his answer today about the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_689628531" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">16th of July</span></span>. I know that if he accepts and acts on what he has FELT - as it says in Alma 9, then his faith will grow immensely and he will be an amazing member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints!!(: I will be sure to keep you posted!<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
I sure love each and everyone of you guys - let me know if I can ever do anything for you!(: And have a great 4th of July!!!(:<br /></div>

Hey there,<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
I hope that you guys have had a wonderful week - and that everything is going well(:<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
This week was great - we have been kickin things back into full gear and we are seeing so many miracles because of it(:<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
We are working with two wonderful women named Margareta, and Ioana. Margareta is around her 60s, and just has a heart of gold! She came to English class about a month ago, and invited us over for sarmale and things (literally so amazing) and we have been teaching her the missionary lessons. She is SO prepared and receptive to the gospel! We have thus far taught her the first three lessons, and <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1489760683" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Friday</span></span> we are going to invite her to set a baptismal date for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1489760684" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">July 8th</span></span>. I am hoping and praying that she will feel the Spirit confirm those truths to her, and that she will accept(:<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Then Ioana is her cute cute 13 year old grandaughter(: She has been meeting with us when we have met with her grandmother, and she is SO happy all the time, and is so mature. She just gets it ya know?(: We invited her to be baptized yesterday, but that kinda stressed her out because of her families Orthodox background, so we are hoping that her Grandma will kinda set the example and pave the way for her(:<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
We also didn't have the chance to meet with Sebi last week, so we are going to be challenging him to baptism this upcoming <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1489760685" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tuesday</span></span>, and we are challenging Angel again <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1489760686" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tonight</span></span>! Be sure to keep them in your prayers!!(:<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Also, Zone Conference is this <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1489760687" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">coming wednesday</span></span> here in Cluj - and we are SO excited! (Plus how cool would that be to have an interview with President Ivory and be like "SEBI AGREED LAST NIGHT TO BE BAPTIZED!!!" haha pretty sure we would both freak out(: We know that Sebi knows that this gospel is true, its just acting on that feeling that we are working on - so we will keep you posted(:<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">

<span style="color: red;">(NOTE FROM ALYSSA'S MOM - She has been trying so hard for so long to grow out her hair. I cannot even begin to tell you what this act of service might have meant to her)</span><span style="color: #222222;">. Also! haha..so I cut my hair this week. AH. Felicia my Recent Convert has been looking for a job for months now, and has been in and out of little bakerys here that haven't been been the best. She used to cut hair in Italy, and she finally recieved a job interview at a little hair place here in Cluj, but she had to cut someones hair to prove that she knew how..... so she asked me. Honestly like, such a trial of faith hahahaha. But i love Felicia so darn much that I told her yes, although I was literally praying the entire time hahaha. And guess what, SHE GOT THE JOB!!!!(: Finally a job that she likes and pays her well - which is such a huge tender mercy!(: Sure love her(:<br /></span></div>

Hey there Family and Friends!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
This week was super super fast! Things are going well - and people are progressing(:It was transfer boards on Saturday and we are all staying the same, except Elder Bateman is going home, and we are getting Elder Newlin(: </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
We got to go to Oradea this past week on an exchange - and I got to spend 24 hours with the incredible Sora Falkenberg! I missed her - and I truly truly LOVE her. It was hilarious because it just totally felt like we were back together again in Cluj haha, we kept joking that next transfer we'll serve together again haha(: I love that girl - truly one of my great friends out here on the mission. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Also this week we saw a giant miracle from our English classes. I remembered when I taught Gospel Doctrine at BYU, and how I did an object lesson with a giant Costco chocolate cake - about how our message is so good to share that we want everyone to have a piece of that cake or gospel. So this week (with the help of Sora Nelson's amazing cooking(: ) we made some delicious cake, and related it to how we LOVE teaching English, and we LOVE the people here, and we want to share this amazing chocolate cinnamon cake with them - but we left behind our families and friends for the chance to come to Romania to share the message of the Restored Gospel that will bring positive change and growth into these peoples lives. We invited them to write down their phone number on a piece of paper if they would be interested in our message, and we received 9 numbers out of our 11 total english students! We are going to follow up with them all this week and I truly cannot wait to see what amazing impact the power of the Restoration will have in their lives. </div>

Hey there family and friends!(:</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
First thing.....DID I TOTALLY HIT MY YEAR MARK???? AH, I honestly was like freaking out haha - so crazy. Time just flies by ya know? Each day seems so long usually - but then you look back at your week and month and it is just all one long blur. I know that these next 6 months are going to FLY by - but it is just a huge testimony that you just gotta use all of the Lord's time that you have ya know?(: </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
We were able to meet with Sebi this week which was amazing. We had a powerful lesson with him and with Elder K Nelson. We talked about the Word of Wisdom and he completely understood. He brought up some of his own personal struggles - the main one being coffee. He said he smokes once in a while, but that its more of a fitting- in kind of thing. We talked about all the blessings that will come from being obedient - not only for him, but how also he will set a huge example to his family as well. He loved the conference in Oradea - and really felt the power of President Ivory's message, Sora Ivory's, and Elder Obando's. It was incredible to see him testify how he has truly felt like something was missing from his life and heart because he hasn't been at church these past 2 weeks. He wants to get baptized, but said that he is getting a little bit of resistance from his ex-wife in Timisoara. But I know that he will be able to overcome that and set a date for baptism soon(:</div>
