days 47 and 48

so, i am in love. with a romanian man. he is 29. his name is ionut. we sang love songs together on the keyboard at the villa. we held hands as we walked. i was sad when we said goodbye, but happy as he ran back and grabbed my face and..... kissed me! it was really embarrassing that our first kiss was in front of his mother.

...

anyways, we are really not in love, but we pretend to be, but actually, i really do love ionut and how he comes to every relief society activity, (remember last activity we dressed him up in a mini skirt?). yes. but he really did kiss me. and it really was funny, and i really was embarrassed.

...
yesterday was my whitney is a tourist day!

i wore my vladd the impaler shirt, went to a how to cook romanian food class, bargained for souvenirs at the cultural palace, touched saint paraskeva's remains, and pretended to be orthodox at a prayer service. life as a tourist in iasi was more than i ever dreamed it to be. and the day ended with a karaoke night at the church, DJed by yours truly. it was really fun and the missionaries made root beer. i am so happy to be feeling better.

...
i gave a talk in church today. i was up till one typing it up, only to find out this morning that our printer is broken. so, i wrote down the main points and a few quotes, and prayed that i wouldn't make a fool of myself. i am actually really happy with the way it turned out. i wasn't even that nervous. i think having elder armstrong standing next to me translating helped.
also, just to let you know, the word integritous is not a real word, but it can be used if your name is whitney, and you want to embarrass yourself in front of a large crowd.
...
lastly,
HAPPY FATHERS DAY! I HEART MY DADDY
