First Week Miracles

Buna Ziua!
 
God works in mysterious ways, but He knows what he is doing.
 
This week has been incredible, I love the MTC, and my district and Romanian! It really is a better language than Russian.
 
So when I showed up, they gave me my envelope with my Russian nametag in it, but there was a note to see the mission presidency. The counslor told me that due to visa problems, I had been assigned to Romanian, and let me call you about it.
 
I then had a crazy few hours without a companion, since my new companions were on P-Day. They were a week in, like you said, but our tripanionship is great. We love being three. It is so fun.
 
I have really learned a lot this week. Apparently God didn't want me to have a head start on the language. He wanted to show me that it is through the Spirit I learn it, not through my own power. Thank you so much for fasting for me. A miracle has happened this week. I am already caught up to the rest of the district basically, but it hasn't been easy. The Spirit is really essential. We teach lessons to roleplay investigators every day, and I can contribute my good share. I can also pray and bear testimony in Romanian. What a week. I've learned more Romanian in a week than I learned Russian in three months.
 
We have 5 Romanian teachers to split between the 7 of us (district), so it is Tare! (Awesome) Our tripanionship is one class.  We have great teachers. They showed so much confidence in me, which really helped me catch on to Romanian. My companions helped me a lot too. Everyone is so awesome and friendly and loving here.

Sunday Devotional we had Jenny Oaks Baker, and it was as much a concert as a devotional. Her kids played a violin/cello/piano/guitar number as well. We had Jay E. Jensen, emeritus authority on Tuesday.
 
The Provo temple has been closed since July 1, but it will open next week! I can't wait!
 
Thanks again for fasting. This week has been a miracle.
 
Ciao Ciao! Pa pa!
