Valentines Day
Our little Branch is having a Valentines "Date Night" tonight at the Theatre
(Young Missionary's excluded).
Before we enjoyed the evening out we had the wonderful opportunity to join the young Elders and Sora's at District meeting! We have a new elder, Elder Wilkinson, from the UK; he has the coolest accent, ever! Elder Laker and Banks were transferred and they will be missed tremendously but we still have a great group and will now embrace Elder Wilkinson and Elder Church into it.
It's getting close for the Richardson's to be going home. We are saddened by this but they have been such great trainers and examples to us that I am sure we will be able to do all we were sent here to do!

We feel so blessed to be around such spiritual and powerful young men and women. It's amazing to think that Kobe is in Mexico doing the same things as these kids. Time fly's so fast! Our group consists of Sora Tuescher, Elder Firth (DL) & Elder Wilkenson, Elder's Church & McLaws (ZL's), Sora Gaskin and Elder & Sora Richardson!
What is it about the Theater that is so exciting? Is it the gathering of the audience having a night out or being on a date with someone you really like to be with? Is it the adrenaline or the excitement of the actors on stage? Is it the anticipation of having fun and laughing hard? I don't know what it is but it is just fun! Even though we didn't understand a word they were saying we still had a sensational time!
It definitely takes a great deal of talent to get up and entertain and these actors were some of the best! Like I said before, even though we didn't understand any words, their interaction with the others were hilarious and you could get a good idea as to what they were joking about. It is probably a good thing we couldn't understand their words as I'm pretty sure we would have ended up walking out 😏!
The skits were so funny and for them to convey their messages and jokes just through performing is pretty remarkable! The short gal was insanely amusing. All she had to do was walk on the stage and you started laughing. It was a great witty and wacky show!
These 2 performers were fabulous. They are famous and continued getting standing ovations. I can't remember their names but the woman has recorded 100's of songs and is known throughout Romania. 
The singing and dances were all so beautiful and the performances were hilarious. It was so great to be able to go with the Richardsons ~ they truly have been our best friends here in Romania! How we will miss them!
After the show we walked down to the car; there was a huge long line waiting to pay the parking ticket with 3 different lines trying to move to the front 😟. It was a pickle; after we paid we went out to the car and our neighbor was parked over our line and within inches of our car. Billy had to shimmy into the drivers side; I don't know how he did it or how the passenger of the other car got out or how the driver drove in with mere inches from hitting our car. Billy was able to escape without scratching their car. Crazy, crazy parkers 😬. Fortunately, we made it home safe and sound and it was a delightful, wonderful Valentines Day!
