Bună bună!!
Highlights:
- Ioana!! We set up a lesson with her before our english class. We were waiting and she didn't show. She then came to English though! So after we asked if she had some time to discuss. She said yes!! We did a lesson on temples (since last time she came to church that's all they talked about), and covenants and eternal families. It was an amazing lesson. She expressed to us the peace she felt going to church and we were able to testify it was the Holy Ghost!! Then at one point in the lesson she just turns to us and says, I was thinking I want to get baptized before you leave! What?!?!🤯 I was like speechless. She obviously has some more steps to take but please keep Ioana in your prayers!!
- Carmen has been a friend of the missionaries/church for at least the last two years. Recently, she has stopped being taught cause she wasn't progressing and it strained the relationship between her and the missionaries. But she still faithfully come to church and games night every week. We went out with her and Sora Frandsen for Ice cream this week and was so good to minister to her!! She is super awesome we just are trying to support her until she's ready for baptism.
- Last week we got a call from a random number. Turns out it was a woman named Cristina. We gave her a pass along card and invited her to church, and she was interested!! She hasn't come to church yet, but this week we had an amazing lesson with her. We felt prompted to make and effort to get a member there, even though we had reserves, it being the first lesson. But the member that came was perfect. They have had very similar life situations and our member bore such amazing testimony of everything. Towards the end of the lesson Cristina expressed to us that she recently has been praying to find a church and God. She had just been praying to herself on the street when we came up and gave her the card. She knew that we were a sign from God. She also told us about her desire to come closer to Christ. I then began to testify of our purpose here as missionaries, and then without realizing it, I invited her to be baptized. She said yes before I could even finish my sentence. So please also keep Cristina in your prayers!!
- We played soccer for games night and it was super fun!! It was super hot but so worth it to play 😂
- This weekend there was a festival in Ploiești and so many families were out in the evenings. We were able to have lots of good contacts, and a few people we are excited for!!
Funny:
- On the way home one day we got caught in a crazy storm!! But when we went through center there was a massive crowd gathered around a giant screen... what on earth could be keeping Romanians of all people out in the rain (their relationship with rain is comparible to that of the wicked witch of the west). We go over and it's a stream of the Romanian national team playing in the Eurocup 😂 so awesome. We also got absolutely soaked on the way home while singing called to serve and we'll bring the world his truth. It was great 😊
Gând Spiritual:
- "Left on our own, we may not know our own good. When “I choose me,” I am also choosing my own limitations, weaknesses, inadequacies. Ultimately, to do the most good, we must be good. Since none save God is good, we seek perfection in Jesus Christ. We become our truest, best selves only as we put off the natural man or woman and become a child before God."
- Elder Gerrit W. Gong
This talk is so good!! Worth a read!
I'm so glad that in this work and in my life I am never left on my own. I'm thankful for a loving Heavenly Father who knows what's not only good but what's best for me.
Vă iubesc!!
- Sora Hansen
