Staying in Cluj

Hey!

Elder C will be leaving Cluj, sadly, and had to say goodbye at church yesterday. But, he is stoked to be going back to Sibiu, his first area, to serve with Elder B! Both of my former companions are now my zone leaders!

And my new companion is... Elder S! Yeah! This is so cool! My MTC companion! This transfer is going to be so fun. It's a step up of responsibility for me, going co-senior, but I feel ready for it. I'm really excited to introduce him to our amazing branch here and our super cool investigators. One of our investigators read his assignment in the Book of Mormon, and we will be meeting with his family again tonight! And we have an older couple that requested a copy of the Book of Mormon that we are now teaching. We are going to start this transfer strong!

And what's really interesting is the rest of the district. We were really tight this transfer. A really good district. But now, only Sora D and me will be staying in Cluj! The other elders will be whitewashed.  So this week, I will have to show three elders how to get around Cluj instead of just one. And I'll be the Cluj vet this transfer. I'm the one to turn to about this city now. I hope I can remember everything!

And regarding the sisters, the whole mission is pretty interesting right now. The new group that is coming in will be nine sisters and zero elders. What?! And, there are now four sets of Sister Training Leaders. Sora D and Sora T will be STLs in Cluj. And every city in Romania will have sisters now. It's pretty impressive. There will be 40 sisters in the mission, only 6 of which will not be either STLs, trainers, or trainees.

And about my personal money. I got my book now, and tried to withdraw the money this week, but the ATMs won't take my card anymore. Elder C said the same thing happened to him the second time he tried to use his card from home, even though he had told the bank that he would be in Romania. Could you try to get the card reactivated for me? Sorry for the trouble.

Specially bound Book of Mormon

There was more that happened this week, but I'm having trouble remembering. It was a long week.

Last P-day we went out to Polus mall, a big mall on the outskirts of town. That was a lot of fun. Pizza Hut had an all-you-can eat deal on, so we basically spent the afternoon in there. It was a good deal in Romanian prices, for 22 lei. I can't let myself start comparing food prices when I get back home, or I will cringe every time I go to the grocery store.

Love you all! Pa!
