Happy Valentine's Day

 

  

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! A member of my English class said they only started celebrating Valentine's Day about 15 years ago. He asked when we started, where it came from, and when and where the US started celebrating it. I couldn't remember. I knew once upon a time. How many people can say they know that? I wish I could.

For Valentine's Day we made
valentines for everyone (almost.) It was really fun. I think something small like that really shows how much you care about someone and that they actually matter to you. Everyone needs a little bit of love in their life. It's so great we have a holiday to celebrate it. We also made over 200 sugar cookies. So many. People just like them. They don't really have sugar cookies or cookies like that here.We also taught the Young Women how to make them. They really enjoyed it. There's nothing like a bit of sugar cookie dough to help us have some good wholesome fun!

Also, Moldovans are unbelievably good at paper crafts. We gave our English class two half sheets of paper to make valentines and the stuff we got back was insane! The humanitarian missionaries, the Pinders, get to work with orphanages and boarding schools here. Their apartment is filled with amazing origami things. I've never seen anything like it! It's crazy! Maybe we should add paper folding to the educational curriculum in the US.

Love you like Jesus,
