Hello Family,
Well, Happy Halloween to everyone out there. They don't really celebrate Halloween here. Some of the younger kids will dress up for school and they will have a little party. So, in celebration we are going to a cemetery! This weekend is the Day of the Dead. SO, its kinda like memorial Day in the USA. They go to the Cemeteries and decorate the graves with flowers, lights and palm leaf type things over the graves. Then we are going to make dinner with the McFadden's and the Elders; Taco Soup and Corn Bread.
We had a quite a week. We are getting a our rhythm down more and more. I have really come to realize how much I still have to learn and that I still have so much to learn as a missionary. I have not been as patient as I need to be...I get so stressed some times and unfortunately Sora Moulton gets the bad end of it. I am going to be better. I just have to remember that all of this is SO new to her and I am so used to being the one that is being taught. I never understood how stressful missionary work really is. I don't know if I have ever been as stressed out in my entire life. Of course I had times of high stress like finals, but that is a week and then it is over...I still have just under a year of this! Not that I am complaining just trying to get some of these feelings out.
Yesterday we had a really great experience...Elder McFadden taught all of the Priesthood Brethren about the Priesthood and the importance of using the Priesthood. We were combined because it was the 5th Sunday. He and the Elders taught how to consecrate or bless the oil and then the different blessings they can give. Then they gave many of the Sisters blessings and then some of the brethren. It was so wonderful to see these wonderful priesthood holders share the great power of the Priesthood with others. The spirit was so strong. I love seeing men practice their authority and taking the calling with such importance. I encourage each of you this week to look for a way that you can use your priesthood authority more fully.
On Friday we had an interviews with the mission president and the Assistants. They came over to Arad. It is always SO great to see him and his wife. We also started English classes this week! Our first class was a WRECK!!! Not really, but all of the students were SO quite that it was super awkward, but don't worry Saturday was better and the kids lightened up a bit. We are teaching beginners again, SO it should be fun!
I have been studying ALMA. I'm going through it really slow...I LOVE the BOOK OF MORMON. Its so interesting how much of it I have missed in the past. Alma was such a great missionary and he taught with such boldness and confidence. I LOVE it. I'm excited to get more and more into it.
So, I would love to hear from the brothers about hunting!! Also, some pictures might be nice too! What did you think of Carson? Also can you believe that my B-day is in 29 Days!
Sorry this week is so short. I want you to know that I love you all so much. I know that this church is the only and true church here upon the Earth. That Heavenly Father has a great plan for each and every one of us. He loves his Children and he wants all of us to return to him . Thanks for all of your letters, love and support. I LOVE YOU all so much. I miss you too!

Hello Family!
Okay, so I have such a week to tell you about! SO, lets get started. Oh, first off mom will you put in along with this email my regular address for Bucharest on my Blog? Aunt Georgia wanted it. Also, Mom I got your letter this last week. I measured my finger and I am a size 8 for my ring size.
Okay, so this week we had a great opportunity to go down to Buc and listen to Elder Jose A. Teixeira and his wife. They are from Portugal and it was AMAZING!!!! I just felt SO pumped and ready to apply the things he encouraged us to do. He gave a great analogy of Gold and when you find GOLD there is usually more where it came from in the same area. He related this to our investigators and members. Meaning they have already accepted and so we need to work in their areas. SO, he encouraged us to pray with our investigators and members...meaning to pray for specific family members, friends, neighbors, coworkers and all those that they know. Now it is not necessarily for those people to hear our message, but that they will be blessed with their needs. He gave an example like if Sora Dona's sister needs a husband, to pray that she will find a husband or if Christina needs a job, pray for her to get a job. SO, we started that and we had some really spiritual and uplifting experiences. The members really liked it that we prayed with. Many of the members are part member families and so to pray for their husbands and kids each by name... it was so powerful and we hope to be able to teach these people soon. He also encouraged us...that when we go in homes to teach, invite everyone in and let every one hear about our message. So, we will continue to build from this.
Sora Moulton and I left for Buc Tuesday night and got in early Wednesday morning. We did some visa stuff for her and then had a long day of contacting and meeting people. The sisters from Cluj and Brasov including Soras Mullen, Jones, Savage and Henrie all had to come early to the conference as well; so, we spent most of the time with them. We did some more chalk contacting in Izvor Park in Buc. It was Awesome...we had about 12 missionaries with us there and it was SO wonderful and POWERFUL! SO, when I talk about chalk contacting we draw out the plan of salvation and then we ask people as they walk by questions like, "Do you know where you are going after this life"? or "Hey have you ever seen something like this before?" Then we start to talk to them. It is great, it helps them to get to know our purpose, why we are here and we get the name of the church out too!
After the conference on Thursday we had some time to contact and then we went back to the Gara (train Station) and headed back to Arad. We were truly blessed to have Elder Teixeira and his wife come and visit us. They both were so inspired...I loved it!
Yesterday at church we had a marvelous District conference with the branches from Deva, Timisoara and Oradea that came down. Our District Presidency changed and so did our Branch Presidency. We had about 90 members in our Villa here in Arad. The Spirit was SO strong. The theme of the conference was D&C 1:30. They discussed the goals and where they want the Church to be in the next few years with a stake and church buildings in all of these small branches. Oh, it was SO powerful and wonderful.
Oh, we also have a couple baptismal dates sent for Nov. 12th for Melinda and Angie. Will you keep them in your prayers? SO excited for them! I wish I had more time to write about all of our investigators...but I don't so more to come next week...
I am so grateful I am a daughter of God and that I have the opportunity to be here serving a mission in Romania. There are great thing that are going to be happening in the next few years and I am proud to say that I am going to be a part of it. I love you all. I love hearing from you all too.
Brady thanks for FINALLY writing me! ha ha JK love you, but I need your home address or school address. Cars don't you fret I have letters that should be coming your way...I got a few sent back to me and I am not sure why, but I will get those sent off soon. I'm sorry if you've been with out a letter for a couple weeks or a month. :) Mom tell Sarah Griggs I'm working on a letter and I will get in to her soon.
I can't tell you how much I love you all and I am so grateful for all that you do for me. Don't forget that my Birthday is in 36 DAYS!!!! ha ha
Love you,
Sora Hickman

Natalee's letter October 17, 2011
Okay, well a TON has happened this last week so I'll just start telling you all about it!!!
Okay, Tuesday I got to spend the day in Buc with Sora Holman. SO fun we went to visit some less actives and got ready for the new missionaries who were coming in that day. We also, went out to lunch to say goodbye to Sora Hansen and Sora Puckett before they left. I love you both and I hope you are enjoying America :) We had 3 of the new sisters stay with us at the apartment in Buc. So fun to be there for their beginning hours of Romania!
Wednesday was TRANSFERS!!!! We had a trainers meeting for all of the sisters who would be training. Sora Moulton is my new companion. They have introduced a new training program that is a bit different. They gave us a book and it tells you what to study and watch for companionship study. We also now have 2 hours for companionship study instead of just 1. We received new portable DVD players; they will have us watch different training videos from Preach My Gospel. SO it is A TON different than when I was trained. I like it so far, but it has been a big adjustment. After the training meeting we went back to the Gata(Train Station), we got tickets and headed back to Arad. For our nice LONG 12 hour train ride! It was great though because we met some AWESOME painting and sculpting artists from Germany, they knew English so we got to talk to them.
Thursday we arrived in Arad, had a meet and greet at the McFadden's, afterward we visited some great members and less actives. It is different training because you have to teach and explain everything. I'm so glad that Sora Moulton catches on so fast and that she can really carry her own.
We had a great fireside on Saturday that a total of 5 members showed up. :) But it went okay; they shared their conversion stories and Lucretia came with us. She liked it and the members were all so good to her. She is doing well, but she has this problem with a lady, who is not very nice to her, who works not to far from her and when Lucretia sees her she changes and gets really nervous, upset and mad. So we hope that she can get things taken care of. I hope that Lucretia will take part in the gospel right now. She loves us and the Branch but she has to do things for herself also.
Also, I can't wait to hear about the hunting trip. Cars emailed before he left but I'll be excited for next week to see how it all went. I also received letters from the Stetson Hills Ward -mom make sure to tell them thank you and I got one from Aunt Jenny as well! Thank you all for your love and support! I love you all!
Also, if anyone reads this I have a couple people that I want to write but I do not have emails....Katy Broughton and Lauren Shields...So if anyone reads this and if you can give me some info just email me.
LOTS and LOTS of love from me to you!

Sunday was WONDERFUL as always, I really look forward to Sundays some times they can be a bit stressful but for the most part I really enjoy that Spiritual reboost.
I am grateful that I have this opportunity to serve here in Romania and that right now I get to be a trainer. We met with a couple of our other investigators Melinda and her mom Angie. We are trying to get them baptized. The problem right now is that Melinda's dad, who is Angie's boyfriend, is in Italy right now working. So we are waiting for him to get back.
Well, a little about Sora Moulton she grew up in California, lived in New Hampshire for a while but her family is in South Jordan right now. She graduated from BYU about a year ago and then she worked at a company that edited books for radiology. She is great, she has 4 younger siblings. Something very interesting about her is that she actually studied here in Romania about 3 years ago in the orphanages and hospitals over in Lasi (another city in Romania). Then she studied Romanian when she moved back to the states, so she knows the language really well! Such a blessing. We get a long great....she loves to RUN :) She is 23 and is a doll of all dolls...really she has a HUGE heart and I am so grateful that I get to serve with her because hopefully I can learn a thing or two from her.
I want to give a BIG shout out to my big sister Jenice! Today is her B-DAY! Love you and hope you had a wonderful day.

Hello Family!
Okay, I have so much to tell you! First off I am training!! I feel very honored and very humbled. I'm the youngest sister to train in this round. Sora Henrie who was also in the MTC at the same time, well the group ahead of me, is also training. SO I will be staying in Arad. Our Zone leaders will be the same Elder Schank and Elder Schroedter. So super excited but keep me in your prayers as always!
Well, we had a wonderful week. I am in Buc right now. Sora Puckett and I took a train last night at 6:45 and got into Buc about 6 this morning...then our taxi driver got super lost and we drove around Buc for about 45 mins. Don't fret though bc we then got fed a DELICIOUS Monday morning breakfast by the Wolsey's. They are a great couple that are from Canada and are here on a Humanitarian mission....SUPER DUPER good pancake breakfast.
Well, church yesterday was marvelous. We had a great fast a testimony meeting. I love it that I can understand so well now. It is getting easier to listen to the spirit, than having to worry about what they are saying.
Saturday, we had our last English class for this transfer. In the end we had 2 star students that came to every class and really are starting to progress. I hope that they will come next transfer so we can get to know each other better. Both of them would be excellent members of the Church. We also celebrated Elder Schanks birthday!! We made a killer cake and I made a fun candy bar poster for him, then we went to lunch.
I am so excited, I get to stay in Arad and I get to be there with my BABY!! ha ha That's some mission lingo for you.
Also, next week we have a GREAT opportunity to have a big conference here in Buc with Elder Jose A. Teixeira! So, we will be back here in Buc next Tuesday and Wednesday. I am super excited. SO for the next couple days I will be staying with Sora Holman here in Buc. We will be together till Wednesday when I meet my new companion!!! WOW I think i am still in shock a bit... I'm going to be a trainer.
I am so excited to hear about the Elk Hunt. Carson wrote me and said that he is excited, I just barely skimmed his email, but I am super excited for all of the family to meet him.
Lucretia is doing ok. She is so sick right now and has been taking a lot of pain medication. We went over on Wednesday and cleaned her house for her. I LOVE serving these people. I just wish there was more that I could do.
We took some time on Saturday night to watch more of conference. I LOVED LOVED LOVED Elder Holland's talk about getting ready for a mission. He said something that I really liked. He was talking about those that have served missions, then having children and then they go on missions, you can truly say, "In this family we serve missions!" I can not wait to have children and rear them in the gospel. So that I can say "in my family we serve mission"...Mom and Dad you can already say that and so can Grandpa and Grandma Hickman.
I want you all to know that this church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, is the ONLY true church here upon the Earth. I know that if we follow the teachings our lives will have more meaning. We will be happier. We will find joy in EVERY moment. Your family will be unified and you will have a better relationship with your family.
Mom and Dad, thank you for being active members and for teaching me, your little baby the great principles of the gospel.
I am sorry this is SO long, but I love you all and I hope that you all have a wonderful week. To all the brothers have a great time hunting! Don't forget to send me pictures. I know all of you are going to have your Iphones up there so do use that technology.

Your Baby Sora Hickman
P.S. I want to tell Cars I got your email...Thanks for staying up SO late to make sure I got it. I was online when you were struggling. I kept seeing 1 new message in my inbox and them again and again I received a new message. Also, Sora Mullen, I am so SAD I won't see you at transfers, but I am super happy that you get to stay in CLUJ!! (With such a BALLER district) Don't you worry we will see each other at the conference next week (when you receive this it will be tomorrow.) Sora Harward, I love hearing from you just so you know. Your emails are the best. Also, Keag things sound SO great in Brazil!

Hello family and friends!
ANN, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!! This is A BIG shout out to my favorite sister ANN who just turned 26 multi iniete!!! I love you and sad that I missed your birthday, but don't worry I'll be there when you turn 27!
Happy Birthday to YOU, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear ANN, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!! (now don't forget, my birthday is just a couple months away :))
Wow what a week! I know I always say that, but I really did have a GREAT week. SO lets get right down to business.
Tuesday night we met with Lucretia and right now she is not very open to the gospel, but we are loving the opportunities we get to see her. She is making progress...for example its been months since she has prayed, but she prayed with us! We sang a whole bunch of hymns with her, she loves them and she is a pretty good singer. So we are in the process of cleaning up her house. Then the Cluj missionaries came for ZONE CONFERENCE and we went to pick them up at the Gara (train Station). Wednesday Sora Puckett and I got up really early to do a long Run, about 7 miles. The Brosov sisters got in a 5:30 a.m., so we just got up and gave them our beds and went on a run. Conference was MARVELOUS. We talked about getting excited for contacting and making sure we talk to every one. We also discussed the importance of staying up on our area book and the importance of being organized, in order to help future missionaries. Then Sora Puckett, Sora Mullen and Elder Schank (Skank) gave their "dying testimonies" meaning their last testimony at Zone Conference. CRAZY!!
Elder Schank is our Zone/District leader right now and he goes home with Sora Mullen. Which will be in the middle of December. Anyway he said something that was like a light bulb turning on for me. We all have the potential to be perfect, but we will never be perfect in this life, so that is why we have to strive everyday to repent and do better. I feel like sometimes as a missionary I am never good enough. At nights when I get home, I think some times...man what did I do today. Or, Man I could have done so much better! When really I should be grateful for everything I did do and thank my Heavenly Father for all the miracles He provided for me that day. I was listening to a conference talk this morning from April. It said that tearing down of ones self comes from the Devil and can be just as bad as being too easy on yourself. I really liked what Elder Schank said because it is SO true. We all have the capability to be PERFECT and we will, but just not in this life.
Then right after that we started splits. Sora Mullen got to stay here with me and then we went to CLUJ on Friday. It was marvelous. I got to see Bia, who is the daughter of Tibi, who was baptized in July. She taught me the Plan of Salvation and then she prayed!!!! Oh, it was marvelous to see her. She was super excited and I just know that she will get baptized soon.
Then Saturday and Sunday night we had the wonderful opportunity to listen to conference. I got to see the morning sessions. For us it was 7 p.m...so we watched it and then went home. I hope to be able to watch more and more of it this week. Thank goodness we have the McFaddens, who have a computer. I was SHOCKED that they announced a temple in Wyoming and another in Provo!! WOW!!
Well, I am excited for all my brothers who are going Elk Hunting and I heard that Carson got work off...WOO HOO! Make sure you take pictures...I know it is a couple of weeks away, but I'm just giving you a heads up!
Love you all a ton and a ton,
