"It's illegal to harm a pigeon."

Define Romania:

1. We got in trouble with the national guard of the Military. Apparently we weren't supposed to take a picture of their building. (How in the world were we supposed to know that it was a military base??).

2. Our washer is in our kitchen, and our first load of laundry was dyed blue. (No explanations for this one). 

3. We somehow managed to call 911. (No one came to rescue us so that's not very comforting). 

4. WE GOT OUR LUGGAGE. (My first thought..."I may have overpacked"). Hahaha

5. Our door handles fall off every time we open the door. (Yes, you read that right).

6. It's illegal to harm a pigeon?? As a result they aren't afraid of humans at all. They will come chill next to you like your their friend. (eek I already have a bird phobia). 

7. We doubled the size of the branch when we went to church on Sunday. It was such a testimony builder to see the dedicated members and missionaries. I already love them all!

8. Although everyone refuses to smile, once you get to know them, they are a lot softer than you would imagine. (I still have to work on not smiling at everyone I pass on the street. I think I creep them out). 

9. One of my roommates punctured my other roommate with a steak knife. (Accident of course.)
10. Jet lag is real and I'm not sure if it's every going to go away. Haha

We began teaching at the school this week. I was worried as I'm not quite the "teaching" type, yet I am surprised at how much I already love the kids. I definitely have a lot more respect for teachers now. The planning and patience it takes to teach is **humongous**. I'm excited to get to know the children more. Even though they can be terrors, they each have such sweet hearts.

Most of my time this summer will be spent at the orphanage and hospital. This is my DREAM. I can't wait to get started. We should begin working at both places later in the week. I'm really hoping this can help me decide if "pediatrics" medicine is still something I want to pursue. I fall in love with this country more and more everyday.



We are hoping to attend "The sound of music" in this famous Opera house in Iasi.

Love,
