nu pot să vin să cred...

 Bună Bună!

Highlights:
-Had a great member lesson with our friend Maria! She was worried about having friends at church, but really liked Sora Isac! (Bless up!!!) 
-Met up with our boy Ianis to talk more about baptism!! He always has really great questions, better than most of our friends (despite the fact that he is 8 years old). After our lesson, he said to us, "I didnt realize that baptism meant that much".  I am so glad he understands what baptism truly means and is super excited for his!
-Had a lesson with our friend, Alex, who was a self-referral for the Book of Mormon. It was one of the most sincere lessons I have ever had. He was so genuinely interested and had great questions. He did his own research before (which can be scary for us missionaries) but it just sparked other questions for him, like what the pearl of great price and doctrine and covenants are, what's the difference between temples and churches, and can he get baptized as a romanian if he believes (we very happily answered yes to that one). Overall it was great lesson and Alex just expressed how much he already loves our church and is excited to meet again! (We're excited too!)
-Met with our friend Sara!! She had lots of great questions!! We had an awesome discussion with her, and she asked how she can live as though she made covenants with God before she makes them. (She can't get baptized at the moment). She is such a great example to me of faith, and just a light! I seriously just love her to pieces!!!
-Zone conference week!! It such a spiritually uplifting experience! The theme was "Change through the Atonement of Jesus Christ". I loved spending time studying this. My favorite part had to be though, at the end we had a testimony meeting where missionaries could share how they had been changed by Jesus Christ. I was so overwhelmed with the spirit hearing those testimonies. It's times like these that really remind me of the pure joy this gospel brings. Plus speaking of joy... I got to see all the homies this week too!! Which is always the absolute best and a highlight for sure. 
Funny:
-Ok so Sora Wolsey and I were going to park our car, and usually we park it at the church, but this time we decided to park it closer to our apartment building because we had to go to Zone Conference the next morning early. We are pulling up and all of sudden Sora Wolsey gets really excited and says "oh sweet! a parking spot!!" I get excited too and start looking around but cant see any open space... right then I feel a bump as we are hopping the curb to park on the sidewalk. Everyone here parks on the sidewalk and so it was in fact a spot but it had caught me by surprise. We serioiusly laughed about for probably like 15 minutes straight haha. 
Ok so you might be wondering what my subject line means/is referring too... Well it means "I can't believe it...' and well I seriously can't believe it. Tomorrow I hit my year mark as a missionary!!!!! 🤯 nu se poate. I am thankful for the time I've had this week to ponder on the ways I've changed in this year.
Gând Spiritual:
For spiritual thought I just wanted to share my favorite/mission/life scripture 
Lamentations 3:25
25) The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
Thanks for all the thoughts, prayers, messages and everything over the past year, I appreciate every single one!!
Vă iubesc!
Sora Hansen
