Here is a video that will make you cry. Because it made me cry. Watch it. And cry. And let's all resolve to pick out heads up, look for others in need, and then help. CLICK HERE!
Literally. Tears.
So this week was great. We started working with these two really great girls. Very different, with very different stories. One is called Mirela and the other is called Maria.
Mirela started coming to English classes a few weeks ago. She goes to the Elder's beginner class. Last Saturday after their class they came over to us and told us to go talk to her and invite her to take the lessons. So we did. And we've started teaching her. She's from the north east of Romania (aka what Romanian's call Moldova. Something about me and that blessed word/region/country) and has a THIIIIIIIIIIICK Moldovan accent. Love it. Anyways, she is so great. Has the sweetest spirit. She came to church yesterday. The Spirit was strong. She was feeling Him. Literally incredible. And then she had us over for lunch after church. SHE IS A DANG GOOD COOK. Actually for the first (hopefully not last time) yesterday we were fed like 3 times. Incredible. #blessed Sora Anderson and I are super excited for her.
Maria is a friend of a church member - Sora Geambasu. She is studying to become a doctor. Super close relationship with God. She came to District Conference last week. Wanted to learn more about the Book of Mormon. In our lesson with her yesterday, we were planning on teaching her the Restoration, but she had some questions about something she read in the Book of Mormon regarding the Plan of Salvation. To sum up - we had a super powerful lesson about prayer and the Pre Mortal Existence. I think I learned more in the lesson, through testifying, than she did I think hahahaha :) BUT I KNOW THAT I CHOSE TO COME TO THIS EARTH. We all did. And we chose to come, no matter the hardships we would face, because we wanted to follow the example of our Savior and return to live with our Father in Heaven. AMEN. Truth.
We also had an exchange with the Sibiu sisters, over in Sibiu. Which meant lots and loooooooots of traveling...again. Lolz. 16 hours in a nice little bus. BUT ALSO SO MANY MIRACLES THERE! We had 16 hours of straight contacting between the two companionships to tackle. And tackle we did. Lots of rejection, but surprisingly A LOT of success. We met some cool people, who include: Alina and her dad, Anca, Ana, Petru, and Denisa. Very very fun.
OH AND WE WENT OVER TO MARIANA'S HOUSE WITH MIRELA AND THE ELDERS AND LEARNED HOW TO MAKE SARMALE AND CHIFTELE. SOOOOOOOOOOOO YUM. SOOOOOOOO FUN.
Okay I love you all. Praying for you. Thank you for your extra prayers this week. We could feel it.
