I don't bite but....(Ben letter 9/16/2019)

Salut 
This was another good week. I got a new companion, elder Gailey and he is from Washington as well. We are the same age but I will be with him for his last 2 transfers, so we are going more for the "go out with a bang" rather then the "kill him softly" type of killing. 
 
This week we mostly just moved. So essentially I was put in charge of closing down 2 apartments, and moving into another one. So we switched companions on Wednesday and cleaned until Friday night. All day for 2 days just cleaning. And let me tell you they should have filmed it because the before and after was crazy. Some missionaries just live like pigs or hoarders, or something in between.
But besides that, Elder Gailey and I have been working hard, and we have a lot of optimism for this fall.
 
For a spiritual thought, I was thinking about cleaning the apartments. If they were to have kept the apartments clean by doing their weekly cleaning, it would have been easy to move and close the apartment. But because they did not clean, it took more time and energy to clean. Also they did not get the privilege to live in a clean apartment. The same thing can relate to us, and how often we repent. If we procrastinate the day of repentance, it becomes harder to clean up. But even more importantly, you lose the chance to be clean, and be happier. Wickedness never was happiness. If we repent daily, we will become better, and be more happy.
 
Vă iubesc pe voi cu toată inima mea.
Vîrstnicul Stanislav 

Ps. An investigator couldn't say my name so she just calls me stanislav, so now I go by stanislav because it's way easier for people here to say
