Bună bună!!
Highlights:
-Exchange in Galati with Sora Fowler! Got to see the Sora Post (my MTC comp)!! Ate good food, had some awesome member visits and chopped some wood (or attempted too).
-Visited Sora Isac and we were supposed to go over and craft, but it ended up just being her preparing a bunch of stuff for us to craft later, and us just listening. But it was so fun!
-Exchange with the Oradea Surori here in Buc! I got to exchange with Sora Muir! I haven't really served around her and didn't know her too well so it was fun to get to know her and learn from her!
-We met with Oana, on of our members, we read from Emily Belle Freeman's conference talk. Oana loved it and we testified of the power we can receive from covenants. Oana told us she actually has been wanting to go to the temple this year to take out her endowment and would love our help in preparing!!
-Had an awesome finding sesh with Sora Muir! The first person we talked to lives super close to the church and is interested! We also tackled talking to the youths (😬 scary...) but it was good and we were able to get a number and place a Book of Mormon.
-MARȚIȘOR!! Starting on March 1st, Romania celebrates spring by giving women and girls little pins and bracelets with small charms and red and white strings (White representing the snow, and red the flowers coming in). Then you wear these until the end of March! So fun right?
-In București we had a baptism in each of the branches, and it is such a cool experience to support these friends on their first step on the covenant path!!
-For one the Baptisms our friend Marius came. We actually got him as a referral from missionaries in the Caribbean, and this was our first meet up! He is so awesome and curious about our church! He asked us about a million questions, but they were all so good! And he genuinely just wanted to know more!
Not-so-Highlights:
-Spent 4 hours this week ordering pass-along cards. But it's all done now so let's go!!
Gând Spiritual:
- "To serve in this Church is to stand in the river of God's love for His children"
-Elder Robert M. Daines
This week we studied Elder Daines' talk "Sir, We Would Like to See Jesus" from this last General Conference. This quote makes me think of all the times I have heard that if you're having a hard time to look outward, look to serve. Or one of my mission leaders, Sora Fowler, always tells us that "the byproduct of service is love". And this is why. When we don't feel like God's love for ourselves, as we turn to help others his love runs through us to them. We can't help but get soaked by it.
Vă Iubesc!
Sora Hansen
