Sora Emma Idiart: Miracles + never making another Thanksgiving dinner in my life :-)

Have you seen this video yet!??!!?!? CLICK HERE TO SEE IT!! INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got a sneak peak of it at zone conference earlier this month. I cried. I still cry. HUMANS ARE SO MUCH BETTER WHEN THEY SERVE OTHERS. So this week starts the little advent calendar (BECAUSE WE ARE ALMOST ALREADY IN DECEMBER WHAT)....LETS DO IT. Together. Anyone who actually reads this email - commit to me right now that you will do it with me. Lighting the world with SERVICE AND HAPPINESS AND CHRISTMAS.

So this week was chock-full with miracles. So many.

Tuesday we made brownies for a 18 year old named Kati who doesn't come to church very often. We have tried a few times to get in contact with her. Nothing really works. We wanted to invite her to our Thanksgiving feast. So we planned on going to visit her at a certain point of the day when we thought she would be home from school. We're sitting in the church doing a language study - BAM! - prompting to go to her house that very second. So we pack up, decide we will finish language study later, and head out. Miracle after miracle. A nice old lady let us into her bloc. Lived on her floor. Talked to us while we waited for Kati's mom to open the door. Her mom told us she wouldn't be home for another hour b/c school doesn't get out for a bit. As we are about to say goodbye - BAM! - the interphone rings. Guess who it is. KATI. So after two months of trying to meet her, we finally did! YAY! She didn't come to our Thanksgiving dinner, but man. What a testimony to me that if you follow promptings exactly when you receive them, the Spirit will guide you to be at the right place at the right time.

We had a super good exchange with the Cluj sisters on Wednesday. I went with Sora Alger again. What a gem. Had a day full of contacting. Honestly, not too much success. But we never felt discouraged! We had a great time and got to bear testimony to lots of people. The cap of the day was our lesson with Maria. We taught her the Restoration. She had some skepticism about a few things, but overall the Spirit was present and strong. It was really cool to just be able to testify and teach doctrine to someone who would listen, but still participate. Just absolutely incredible. We challenged her to humbly pray and ask Heavenly Father if what boy prophet, Joseph Smith, truly saw God the Father and the Son, Jesus Christ. Keep you updated :)

On Thursday Sora Anderson was very sick :( I swear this last month has been one comp throwing up after the other. Lolz. Sorry. Graphic. But the good thing is that we planned on celebrating Thanksgiving on Friday anyways! Who cares if you're the only ppl in the country doing it, right? Hahaha

SO FRIDAY WE LITERALLY BAKED AND COOKED FOOD ALL DAY. And I can just tell you now. I will NOT be making my future family a Thanksgiving meal. No way Jose. Nope. We will be going to a soup kitchen to serve other people and then order pizza. But it ended up being really fun. We ate a big meal with the elders, two members, and two investigator friends. We made everyone go around and say what they are thankful for. One thing about Romanians: they will always say that they are thankful for their health - first and foremost. I love them. They are so strange. Hahha :) But it was great.

Anyways that is a run down of our week/I am out of time. Hahaha.

I LOVE YOU ALL AND PRAY FROM YOU AND THINK ABOUT YOU. Congrats to Eric and RaNae. So excited to meet you.
