So this week seemed like it just flew by. Monday was fun, we just went to a random village not too far away and we went exploring and got some cool pictures and had some fun memories and saw interesting things. The village is called Vinga.
Then Tuesday for english class we couldn't hold it in the church vila because the painters were occupying it all week Monday to Friday. And there was a free room, but just not three. So we decided to do English in the park right by the church, next to the Bega Canal going through town and we just chatted with a few of our students and really didn't do anything special. We brought out the badminton sets and about 15 minutes into the game it starts to rain. About 12 of us were playing and then it dwindled down to Me, Ward, and Zimmerman and Bulloch. It kept gradually getting worse and worse the rain and we kept playing and playing and then it was just too bad and we had to stop. We took temporary shelter under the tree and waiting for it to die down...it didn't, so we book it over to the net, take it down real quick and gather all the stuff. Cox stayed back with us at this point. The others already took shelter right by the Flora restaurant. So then we dashed over to the cover point. And we set up camp for about 15 minutes. Finally died down and we went to the church, dropped off the packages and continued our evening like nothing happened. A great day. Tuesday night, coming home, fairly late through Centru, I meet none other than Caruntu and we set up for the next day.
But the next day came and Caruntu was not there. We planned to meet up right after school, but something happened and he wasn't able to come. He doesn't have a phone, but he does have our number. I'll see him again. He lives here in Timi with Razvan and nearly a year later and a week, crazy that I ran into him again. I also met Razvan, but we haven't been able to meet up since.
The church looks great. Ene from ploiesti was here and did a lot of little things that makes the church look great. Thanks!
We had a good turnout at a karaoke activity we did for English students, not as many people showed up as we were planning but it went and met some new faces that the students invited themselves.
Things are going well. This week is transfers, I'll miss Elder Martin. It was great serving with him, someone my age. Both able to share the work load. He really helped me a lot with the branch and just how to make things run. I love him and wish him the best in Sibiu. Might see him again while I am in Utah. I will be serving as of this Thursday with Elder Ealy. He is in Ward's group, and Ward is leaving me too to Ploiesti. And Zimmerman is leaving to Chisinau. Hosking will be here with Bulloch. And Elder Green, from my group will be here with Elder Cox. This District was a great one. Lots of different personalities, but we had a lot of fun and enjoyed the time together. Enjoy the journey.
I love Romania so much. The work is tough and hard, but it is rewarding. Put Your Shoulder(s) to the Wheel. One or two.
I love you family and friends.
Love,
Elder Schroedter
