Dear Everyone!!! 

Hey momma!!! This week has been pretty good. It's been a lot of apartment searching... which has been a little frustrating!! We looked online at some apartments through this real estate agency and when we found one that we actually wanted to look at we tried calling the agency... and nobody answers! We've sent them emails and kept calling them but they don't seem to want to respond to us. So we are still searching for an apartment for the sisters. That's probably what we are going to do later today. So yesterday we got a text from the AP's saying that President Ivory got into the mission and is offically the mission president! President Hill left the country today. That's really weird to think about!!! There haven't been any crazy announcements of big rule changes or anything like that... but who knows what's going to happen!! But yeah it's super crazy how the mission is winding down!! I'm glad to hear that you guys have started making signs for me!!! That'll be fun to see when I get back :) It sounds like it's a HUGE sign!!!  I forgot to write about the whole jury duty thing that you sent me!! I think that's hilarious!! I hope you kept the letter so that I can read it myself when I get back! ha ha Well I miss  you tons momma!! :) 
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!

Dear Family!!

Well hello there everyone!!! So basically the main thing that happened this week is we found out about transfers!! I'm going to be staying in Iasi with Elder Bonner for my last transfer!!! It's really weird knowing about how the rest of my mission is going to play out. I mean freak, it's only 6 weeks left!! That's crazy to me. The other elders are staying the same (McAllister and Harper). The new thing though is that we are getting another set of sisters here in Iasi!! So we have two companionships of Elders and two companionships of Sisters! That's gonna be something new! And apparently we have to spend the next little while looking for a new apartment for the new sisters... so that's probably all that I'll be doing for the next week. Church has been great. It's been great with the students from BYU here... they bring the attendance up by 12 or so which helps a lot. We have church at 10 AM. Heck that would be legit if we got some unicycles!!! I would have to learn how to use a unicycle, but it'd be worth it! I'm sad to hear about Grandma and Grandpa. I'll be sure to pray about them! Geez getting old just sounds terrible. I have heard from Elder Knapp a couple of times and invited him to my homecoming, so hopefully he is able to come! We will just see I guess.  I'm pretty sure that President Hill leaves in a week or so. That's weird!!  Well I'm not really sure what to say as far as words of wisdom for the ward... just go read a fortune cookie or something ;) ha ha well I love you tons momma!! :)

Dear Family!! 

Hello there momma!! So this weekend we find out about what happens for my last transfer and then next week will be transfers! I'm hoping to stay because I love the branch here and I love my companion, but at the same time it wouldn't be too bad to visit one last place in Romania before I go. I guess we will just see what happens!! I'll try to send more pictures if I get a chance. I hope that daddy had a fantastic Father's Day!! I'll make sure to tell him happy fathers day. I'm glad that you invited Grandpa and Dot over for dinner (and a pretty delicious dinner by the sounds of it!!).  I forget that Brian Jones is getting home here pretty quick! And I'm not far behind him!! ha ha Yeah President and Sora Hill have about 2 weeks left in the country... actually I don't think I will even see them again before they leave. The new mission president is having us missionaries have another zone conference next transfer so that he can go around the mission and visit with everyone. So I'll meet him at least a couple of times before I go home. I guess we will just have to see what happens!! I miss you tons momma!! :) 

Happy Father's Day Daddy!!!!! Well technically it has already passed, but I figured I'd still tell you now!!!  I love you so so much Daddy!! Thanks for everything you do for me :) Love you tons!! :)

Dear Family!!! 

Hello everyone!!! Sorry for the delay on this email, but I was busy with stuff like the zone conference and english classes. The zone conferenece was great! Going back to Chisinau was a fun experience too because I have been there many a times before. When we were up at Chisinau we first stayed at the hotel that we stayed at last time, then the next night we just stayed at missionaries' apartments. It was all pretty fun!! This was President Hill and Sora Hill's last zone conference. They won't leave for another 2 or 3 weeks... something like that. That's pretty funny that Pres Hill added me as a friend on Facebook!! ha ha That's great though! Things are going great with Bonner and I! I'm kinda hoping to be able to stay with him for my last transfer. But I guess we will see what happens. English classes are going about the same as usual. One of our students brought Elder Bonner and I Sarmale because we always talk about how much we love sarmale... so they brought us some!!! It's was cool!! It's definitely HOT here... I'm always just sweating!!  I'll definitely bring home some romanian stuff that I use for keepsake. It doesn't surprize me that Austin Morris got his mission call changed after all that has been happening in Ukraine. It's crazy to think that I was in Moldova which is right next to Ukraine!! Crazy!! What's with this belly laugh stuff?!?! But yeah I've had many belly laughs this week. I don't really feel like writing them down though (sorry to dissapoint!!) Geez time certainly is moving by fast!! I'll be home soon ha ha Well as far as reading stuff goes, I'm almost done reading the Doctrine and Covenants in Romanian... I'm at like Section 134 or something like that. Then in the Book of Mormon I'm going through... the Book of Mormon ha ha I'm hoping to at least start the Book of Mormon in Romanian before I leave. Anywho momma I miss you tons!! :) 

I had no idea that it was Father's Day so soon!! Happy Father's Day Daddy!!!! Hopefully the rest of the family gets you something nice! I'll definitely make sure to think about you. well I miss you tons daddy!! Love you!!

Dear Family!!

Well hello there everyone!!! Things are going just the same with me. English classes are going now. Those are pretty fun to teach and stuff. That is crazy to hear about Braxon and his mission!! That kinda sucks that he won't be seeing Tylan for 4 years... that is just WAY too long!! ha ha That's cool that you got to see Dillon Cafferty!! Yeah I'm sure it is a huge different with people on the streets and stuff. I mean, it will definitely be something different with me because there are tons of people who walk around here especially compared to home.  It is true though that my whole life it's been like "mission, mission, mission"... and soon it is going to be over!! 
I'm glad that you are proud of what I am doing!! I'm sorry that I don't really have much to talk about though... it's just all the same stuff for me day in and day out... so I just feel like I've already told you about how life is ha ha I'll try to take some more pictures!! And of course I'll be praying for the Spirit ha ha :) I love you momma!! 

Well I love you all so so much!!!! :)
