When the internet cafe is closed on Monday because of a Pentecostal Holiday.....

I am so scattered brain right now because everything going on with my sister. So I will apologize ahead of time for this email, because I don't have a lot to say. 

ECMO 
Small update on my sister: She is still in the ICU on her ECMO machine. They were able to take her breathing tube out so she is able to talk a little now, my mom said she is even joking a little bit. They are starting to look into getting her into a transplant program to replace her lungs, in case weaning her off the ECMO machine doesn't work. Please continue to pray for her. 

Anyway...

We visited a lot of members this week, did a lot of contacting, and helped Mariana get ready for her baptism. She had her interview.  We made the program for her baptism and now she is already to go! We are so excited for her. We also found out this week that Sora DJB will be able to come to her baptism, which is amazing news. Sora DJB was the Sister missionary who started teaching Mariana with Sora Gubar. 

White stuff that is fun to burn
So there is this white stuff, that looks like cotton that is on all other the trees near our house and is all along the walk way home. Apparently it's a tradition in Ukrian to light this stuff on fire because it burns really well, and it's fun to watch. So we decided to try it. Don't worry we didn't burn Oradea down and we didn't even get yelled at.

Eating out with Friends (Mariana is sitting beside me)
We also went out to eat with a bunch of our friends this Friday night after game night. It was a lot of fun. Mariana even asked, Levi, someone the Elders are teaching, what he thinks of what they are teaching him and the Book of Mormon. Go Mariana :) 

Sora Fodor
Also one of the memebers we visited was Sora Fodor. She is about 80 years old and she is adorable. She has now become my favorite humna. She is starting to go a little crazy which makes her even more fun. We visited her and she just told us stories from her life and I could just listen to her tell story after story! 

That's all I can think of for now. I love you all. Have a great week! 

Love,

Sora Vann
