SARMELE!!!

 Bună bună!!

Highlights:

- Went to visit Sora Șimon! It was originally a member lesson, but our friend couldn't make it. But then Sora Șimon just told us to come over anyway. She made some great food and it was fun to get to know her!! 

- MY DREAM CAME TRUE!! For basically my whole mission I've wanted to learn how to make sarmele (cabbage rolls). This has become one of my all time favorite foods and I was really hoping to learn before I left. So on Friday when we got to go over to Sora Banița's house to make it, I was beyond excited. Plus Sora Banița is absolutely hilarious so we just were laughing and making sarmele together. We also got to eat the sarmele after 😋 so 10/10 day if you ask me.

- Lots of finding!!! We have a few hopeful prospects!!

-Today for pday we are doing a 4th of July barbecue in Brașov and it's lit 🇺🇲

Not-so-Highlights:

- Every lesson with a friend this week fell through 🫠

Funny:

- We did a talent show this week for our Games Night and Sora McCombs and I did a rendition of "Fireflies" on recorders. We might be taking our show the road, TBD. 

Gând Spiritual:

- “All through my life the counsel to depend on prayer has been prized above almost any other advice I have … received. It has become an integral part of me—an anchor, a constant source of strength, and the basis of my knowledge of things divine. … “… Though reverses come, in prayer we can find reassurance, for God will speak peace to the soul. That peace, that spirit of serenity, is life’s greatest blessing.”

- President Ezra Taft Benson

I am so thankful for the power of prayer and the opportunity I have to speak with my Father in Heaven at any moment, and to know that he will always listen and answer.

Vă iubesc!!

Bună bună!!

Highlights:

- Had a lesson with our new member Teo!! We taught him about Love, Share and Invite. And then at the end we gave him a What Would Jesus Do bracelet, and invited him to do the same!! 

- This week we had the opportunity to go a city called Iași and help build a house there. We did it with the group called, Habitat for Humanity. They built a house for a family in need in 5 days and we came for 2 to help. Our whole Zone was there and it was an absolute blast!! I made lots of new friends, and I learned how to do stucco (shout-out to my homies Costel and Nelu for their patience and encouragement). 

- Right after Iași we headed with our STLs to Galați and did an exchange there. I got to go with Sora Eliason and it was a great day!! We went finding, visited a member, and had our exchange review on the river. It was magical ✨️ 

-Amazing miracle!! Our friend Ioana came to church!!! She sat by the member she knows and made lots of other new friends and overall just loved church! We are so excited for her!! 

- Also got to see 4 day year old puppies 🥹

Funny/crazy:

- During the exchange, when we were visiting the member we were walking past her dog. She started leashing it up and kind of mumbling about how she had to since he had bitten people before. Right in that moment the dog was just chilling and Sora Eliason was petting it. But in an instant the dog growls, turns its head and goes for a big Ole bite of Sora Eliason. 😳 Luckily she pulled her hand back and made it out without drawing any blood. 🤯 We had a good laugh about it later (not the dog pictured, that her other super fat dog lol)

Gând Spiritual:

Moroni 7

6) For behold, God hath said a man being evil cannot do that which is good; for if he offereth a gift, or prayeth unto God, except he shall do it with real intent it profiteth him nothing. 

7) For behold, it is not counted unto him for righteousness. 

8) For behold, if a man being evil giveth a gift, he doeth it grudgingly; wherefore it is counted unto him the same as if he had retained the gift; wherefore he is counted evil before God.

I have been thinking a lot about my intentions and motivations this transfer. I really want to do the right things for the right reasons. Having total faith in Christ and God and their perfect timing and plans.

Vă iubesc!!
