Ziua Copiilor

 Bună bună!!

Highlights:

- Started off the week strong visiting one of our members, Alex. We went with the senior couple here, The Frandsens and it was a good time!! 

-One day we decided to take a different finding route than usual. And well I understand why our usual route is our usually route. There was practically no one în sight. So after going for bit we decided to go knock a block. And when we did we met Maria! She's 14 and we were to explain to her our purpose and give her a Book of Mormon. We're hoping to meet with her soon.

- The Elders here just recently baptized a 12 year old boy from an inactive family, and this week we got to meet his 8 year-old sister, Bianca, who also wants to be baptized!! We met with her and talked about baptism, asked if we could teach her the lessons, and she was all for it. Then she came to games night and she came to church (even though her brother didn't) We got to teach her the Restoration during 2nd hour. Bianca is so smart and already has been sharing with us the changes and experiences shes seen in her brother since his baptism. We are so so excited for Bianca, please keep her in your prayers!!

- Got to have an after baptism lesson with Teo about the temple!! Exciting!!

- We had a special games night this week. Here Romania they have a holiday on June 1st called "Ziua Copiilor" or Kids Day. Basically what it means is that every kid has a second birthday on this day and families go out together and do activities. Since it fell on Saturday, we decided our games night would be celebrating that. We did some minute to win it games, musical chairs, volleyball, and had prizes for the kids. We had a good turn out too and I think all the kids had a good time.

-The other day we only had a 30 minute block to street, but we ended up meeting Nicoleta! She was open and accepted the Book of Mormon. We got her number and want to try and meet with her this week! 

-General highlight has just been ballin it up with Sora McCombs. We have had a lot of finding these last few weeks, but going with her has been so fun! We also already have so many inside jokes and troll each other 24/7, but yeah good times haha.

Not-so-Highlights:

-Addresses and records are two things that just always have problems here in Romania. So when we had to find Alex's address in our records, we should of know it would be an adventure. We got the address and headed to the visit. After about a 40 minute walk we get to the supposed address but can't find it anywhere. So we call the Frandsens and turns out we were on the literal opposite side of town. 🤦‍♀️ Luckily though they picked us up and we were still able to make the visit. 

Gând Spiritual:

"Through Christlike love for others, we preach the glorious, life-transforming properties of Christ’s gospel, and we participate significantly in the fulfilling of His great commission" 

- Elder Gary E. Stevenson 

It really is that simple. I feel like I easily complicate things. Just love people. Do what Jesus would do. That's all we are asked. It doesn't mean it easy. But it is that simple.

Vă iubesc!!
