just a few things......

the cultural palace in iasi, romania (near the scala apartment)









hey girls! are you all enjoying the summer? i hope so! there are just a few things that have come to my mind that i wanted to let you know........i'm sure there will be more later, but for now this is it

1) if you get the chance to, it would help us get into the orphanage faster if you brought a resume (already translated into romanian) of your experience working with children. the resume format is really simple. just your name and your experience with children. that's it. nothing fancy, so you don't need to stress about it! :)

2) there is a ton of brown sugar and quite a few romanian books of mormon in both apartments so you don't need to pack either of those.......unless you really want to. also, there are more than enough romanian hymn books here.....everyone can have two if they want......

3) did maria give you guys a packet of phrases in romanian that are used with children? if she did, memorize as many as you can. SERIOUSLY! it will help you so much and you will be really glad you did. if she didn't give you one then amy might have an extra that you could get a copy of.......

4) you guys are going to do an amazing job here! i am so excited to meet you and to get to know all of you! after being gone for a week in budapest, coming back to the orphanage today was so amazing! you have so much to look forward to! as with all things you will have some really hard times and some really great times. if you put your whole heart into it you will have a very rewarding experince, i am sure of that. o zi foarte buna!
