Hey Everyone,

Hope all is well with you all. Life is great as always here in Romania. Companion, Elder Martin is awesome and the branch here in Timisoara is doing well. This past week, had a great opportunity to visit a former city of mine, known as Arad. It was great being back! Able to meet up with some members and saw some familiar faces. I love Arad so much. As I do Timisoara, it is a great city and I just love walking down the streets to and from our apartment, saying Hi to our usual people we see on the street and stores. This past week it rained some, not as bad as two weeks ago. It rained forever! English started up, me and Martin are teaching the advanced class. We combined Tuesday but actually had students Saturday. Visited some members and investigators. We played some basketball and made some friends over by the campus close to centru (center of town) and building some friendships over there. We're going to make it a regular thing, playing basketball and hopefully soccer too. Trying to get permission from the city hall to be able to do street boarding and also trying to find places to give service. And other than that, walking on the streets, finding, finding, finding, going through parks, meeting up with the others and thinking outside the box to find those who are ready for the Gospel. Remember to keep a good attitude and outlook on life, don't try and forget and not even recognize the hardships and trials, but meet them with positivity and keep going on! Don't let the trials bring you down. Choose to be happy and have fun. Be joyful always. Because life is beautiful, in all aspects.

Take care. And keep doing the small and simple things that matter most.

With much love,

Elder Schroedter
