Bună!!!
Hope you all are doing good!!! Here's my week!
Tuesday:
- Had my first conversation completely by myself!!! I was able to invite this lady on the tramvai to our English class and give her a pamphlet without Sora Olsen!! Wahoo!
Wednesday:
- District Activity in Pitești!!!
- took my first maxi taxi, it was not an experience I'm excited to repeat... I did however share the book of mormon with the lady sitting next to me and she seemed genuinely happy to hear it!
- for our service we went to this member's farm to help there. Romanians definitely have different views on a lot of things than we do, one of these being the type of work that females can do... so Sora Olsen and I were helping "break sticks" for 2 hours... yeah idk. We also helped prepare more mushrooms with sour cream (🤢) but despite the Elders best attempts I did not have to eat them this time. We had to catch our bus and take our food with us, so let's just say God is real and miracles do still happen.
- we also had some fun on the train ride home... let's just say I don't think that pottermores patronus quiz is legit, it gave me a borzoi???? Just look it up. I got done so dirty. But it was hilarious.
Thursday:
- another lesson with Vlad!! We taught him the plan of salvation and he took it really well!! We're excited to meet with him next week!
Friday:
-I got to go on an exchange with Sora Nunez!! She was so much fun!!
-we went street contacting and had a lot of people blow us off. Let's just say if you're a missionary here in Romania you have to have a sense of humor, because they can be brutal sometimes. But every time this happened as we were walking away I would say "man, we just go flamed by them". Hence the title of my email. I don't know where I got the word from, I probably stole it from someone else. But that was my phrase this week, and it was so funny. We could not help but just laugh.
Saturday:
- we had a lesson with a referral from the elders named Marinela. All she wants to do is talk about baptism and be baptized! We're excited to hopefully put her on date soon!
- went to visit the Ion family but they weren't there, rip. But as we were going to leave this guy came over with his kids and was like will you come talk to me and my wife? Their names are Tibiru and Simona and they had already been visited by the missionaries before, but it was a while ago. They asked us to pray for them and then asked about church!
Sunday:
-I gave a talk!! Ughh. It was pretty good. Definitely ready for the next one to be much better though.
-Surprise!! Tibiru and two of his kids came to church!! They also stayed for Sunday school and he was so involved and making comments!! So awesome. He also left with about half our library. They're just really excited about the gospel!! We're planning on having a family home evening with them and Ions this Thursday. Hopefully it all goes well!
That's the week! It's been a blast!! God is good!! I love being missionary!!!
Gând Spiritual:
"Without the blessings that come from Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, we can never do enough or be enough by ourselves. The good news, though, is that because of and through Jesus Christ we can become enough." - Elder Renlund, October 2020
This is a quote I found for my talk. It is so true!! I'm so grateful for all the blessings I've been given!! And for the daily help I recieve!
Vă iubesc!
Sora Hansen
