Hey mom!!! Well, I had a crazy week awesome week with a crazy ending... I am being transferred to Craiova where I will finish training a new missionary. I was not expecting the move at all! I have to attend training meetings and stuff this week, and I don't think I will be able to email tomorrow. I will try to email when I get to Craiova on Thursday....
a note from mom: I'm guessing Craiova is about seven hours from where Alex has been currently serving in Otopeni (near Bucharest). |
I had a really wonderful week teaching the gospel. WE FOUND A FAMILY TO TEACH! We had a couple other wonderful experiences this week as well that I will write about. I grew a lot this week. I am pretty nervous to train... I am not sure why the Lord needs me in Craiova now when I feel like I was doing so much good in Otopeni, but it is not about me. Super excited for the new adventures that await! My new companion's name is Elder Miller.
I love you and tell the kids and Dad that they rock and I love them! Thanks for all of your prayers and thoughts. I miss you guys but know that I am here on the Lord's errand. xoxo -Alex
Update: hey mom!! Well I only had about 45 minutes so I decided to write the kids instead. My weekly next week is gonna be superrr good though!! Abia astept sa-ti povestesc!!! Te iubesc atat de mult!!! O saptamana placuta. Ma bucuri ca calculatora ta merge mai bine acum (translation: I can not wait to tell you !!! I love you so much!!! A nice week. Glad your computer runs better now.)
a note from mom: I was missing my long email from Alex this week but was delighted when I looked on his mission facebook page and found this picture that someone had posted. What a treat! |
Thank you so much for sending this. How I love that elder! I was missing his blogpost and worried that maybe my email had gone awry - so happy to learn of his adventures. His mission president is going to see how much this elder has to offer, and he will do great things for the people of Romania!
