Honestly this was one of the harder weeks of my mission! I do know that on a mission and in life there are going to be good days and bad days, good weeks and bad weeks, good months and years, and then months and years when you struggle immensely. Thats how it goes, and I'm grateful for the hard days as well as the good ones. This week we have been speaking only in spanish which has been a real struggle but a good taste of the next two years. Its crazy how close you can become with people in such a short amount of time! Our roommates left this week and the night before they left we got on our knees to say one last prayer together. As I said the prayer all 6 of us in the room had tears rolling down our face. But how? We had known each other for 2 weeks. Ive come to this conclusion, and I know it to be true. When Jesus Christ is the center of our relationships, he will create unbreakable bonds. We're able to become closer to the people we love when we make Christ our cornerstone...

I'm soooo excited for this email! Sorryyy about last week!!! I'm just so immersed in the work, I love it so much! There's so much to tell, so many miracles each and every day. I'm so lucky to be apart of the GREATEST work on the Earth! By no means is every day easy, but when you turn to your Savior even the hardest days can be AMAZING. It was so sad, this Wednesday our roommates left for Romania! I'm truly so stoked for them, but at the same time I loved them so much and didn't want them to leave. You grow to love the people here so fast, they all feel like my brothers. I know they're going to do great things on Romania!!! My newww roommates are crazy! Two of them are headed to Texas, and the other two are both speaking Manderin which is wild to hear, since they grew up speaking it and are already pretty much fluent. One of them in going to Canada and the other is going to Cali. The funniest story of the week is with these new roommates, it was actually last...
