It was a tremendous week this week. Had a good week of activities at the church and turnout could have been better, but we are trying. From a family night about the body of Christ (1 Corint 12) to filling time knocking on doors, walking through the parks, saying goodbye to Elder Cox who is e-transferred to Craiova. He will be missed, mainly by me. He was going to be a 1st Counselor...heard he told president and he made his dream come true and he left me. Just kidding. Elder James is here from Orhei! He just finished up being Branch President there for quite some time. He is with Elder Green, us three are all in the same MTC district. Green and James might be killing one another (ending their missions together) to some English students who live close to Timisoara but won't be back for a couple months or so. Playing soccer and basketball with a crowded court. Full court soccer (small court) and then half court bball on one of the baskets. Other basket across the way is off and busted. Played soccer most of the time and was goalie for almost all the time. Also we put up lots of posters around the city for our English classes. Got lots of phone calls and good turnouts from the people! The UEFA cup ended. Asked people about it every now and again to talk to them and some had no idea what it was, but most people were interested and knew that Portugal blew it against Spain and Germany would have been a better final against Spain rather than Italy Spain. 4-0. ce s-a intamplat?! (what happened) I love soccer and wish I could have watched some of the matches. Sometimes walking through center of town they were playing on tv screens and at big restaurants. My money is on Spain for world cup 2014. We are working with a family that Elder Martin worked with, with his previous comp. They are doing well. And a couple other friends and really nice people and super open and great. Another activity carving not pumpkins, but watermelons! haha a few members came and two other peeps. It went well and we got some good pictures during and the aftermath...it was quite a lot of watermelon and we didn't know what to do with it. So we gave it away to someone. Church went well yesterday. And also a couple invited us to their wedding and it took up a lot of yesterday. Really great people and I like them both a lot. Don't really know the bride. The groom is a great guy and I hope the best for them! Fasting is tough in the heat. But it's worth it.
Today. Lipova was great. Everyone else in the zone Here, Timi, Arad, Oradea, and formerly in our Zone, Deva, it was everyone's FIRST time...for me. Old timer over here. Number 4. I can tell you basically all about the city and the castle/fortress and major landscapes. If you ever need to get around there in Radna/Lipova, hit me up and I'll get you around.
My companion Elder Ealy is great. We get along well and both love the cool heat of the blizzardy summers here in Romania. Feel like it's worse this year, because I don't have the metro like I did last year in Bucuresti. We walk a lot...everywhere it seems like.
