Living Life

 Bună Ziua!!

Highlights:

- Pday basketball in the rain. The court was basically a swimming pool, but you know it just adds to the fun!! Plus add Mcflurries and Pizza after and it was a solid day

-We're able to meet with Vlad this week!! We were going to go over the gospel of christ lesson, but he hadn't read the chapter we had asked him to yet. So we decided to read the chapter for our lesson instead. It was 2 Nephi 2 (fire chapter if you wondering). We read it together and the spirit was so strong. We were originally planning on inviting him to be baptized for our lesson, but that would be after we actually talked about baptism with him. I asked Sora Olsen should we still do it? She's like go for it if you think we should! So we invited him to be baptized!! He had a lot of questions haha, understandable. At first of course he was like well I already was when I was a baby. But Sora Olsen came in perfectly with what we read in the Book of Mormon together. The chapter was on agency. We were able to explain to him that shouldn't we have the agency to choose to be baptized? We can't choose for ourselves as babies. We then told him a little bit more of our baptism and why it's necessary. He then was like, yeah I could probably do it in the Summer!! Let's go!! His only worry is getting into the font, we were like dude if you wanna be baptized we'll get you in the font don't worry. 

-English class was lit this week!! The Elders were on an exchange so we had to just teach it ourselves but it went well! We also had this lady just started coming, and she speaks English very well. For one of the activities I was paired up with her and after we finished she started asking questions about why we're here! It was so nice to be able to answer in English haha. She seemed to have more questions and is planning on coming this Tuesday so we're planning on asking her if she wants to take the lessons!!

-Lots of street contacting this week, lots of flyers and pamphlets handed out!! 

-Visited Tibirus family and gave them a lesson on the restoration! They all were interested. We also asked them if they have the desire to be baptized and they said yes, so we're planing to continue to teach them and help them progress.

-We actually had people at games night!!!!! We were so happy about that!! I did get absolutely clapped in Uno, but as long as people were there it's a win.

-Filmmed a bunch of videos for our English page, about our classes and games nights. We were laughing so hard. We found ourselves pretty funny. All the videos will be in my Google photos album if you're interested haha.

- They don't have relief society here, so Sora Olsen and I have been trying to start it. Sunday was our first one and it went so well!! Sora Elena was so excited!! She really enjoyed it. 

No so Highlights:

-We had multiple people that told us they were coming to church today. Some even reached out to us just to clarify details. None of friends came though... but hopefully they will next week!! 

Funny:

Used my first public bathroom this week. It was an experience... like it was the most nice and weird and disgusting bathroom ever. I can't even explain it. Like everything was automated? Idk kind of funny though. 

Gând Spiritual:

"Now, I am not talking about “peace at any price.” I am talking about treating others in ways that are consistent with keeping the covenant you make when you partake of the sacrament. You covenant to always remember the Savior. In situations that are highly charged and filled with contention, I invite you to remember Jesus Christ. Pray to have the courage and wisdom to say or do what He would. As we follow the Prince of Peace, we will become His peacemakers."

-President Nelson (Peacemakers Wanted)

The last few weeks Sora Olsen and I have been watching the Chosen. I love the Chosen so much. I love how it shows that all the stories were real stories, that happened to real people!! I also love how it shows how Jesus acted in all the various situations. I feel like sometimes when we read the Scriptures you hear a lot about these great sermons and miracles he did, and not as much about regular life. In the Chosen it is so powerful to see how Christ acts in every situation. It reminds me of this. As we remember how the Savior would act we can try to be better in all our interactions!

 

Sper că aveți o săptămână bună!! 

Vă iubesc!!
