Ok this week was pretty good. Had some good lessons and some good member visits. So let's get to it.
I can't really remember day to day to enjoy a long list of what happened this week :
☆ had some good long finding sessions (my fav) and talked to some cool people
☆ taught some amazing lessons
☆ one lesson we had with a friend who basically tried to drop us but we had a lesson with them and it was long but really good and their heart softened by the end of it and it was a really cool thing to see
☆ met up with another friend who we had been trying to meet up with for a few weeks and she told us how she feels this church is different and feels a bigger peace at this church 🥹
☆had some really cool members visits and meals - I love these members with my whole heart and they love to have the missionaries over
☆ got told at English class to buy a recorder so we can all play together
☆ was sick on saturday so I was #out
☆ got yelled at "I love you sisters, bye sisters, I miss you sisters" by a crazy man who tried to convince us he is the president of romania
☆helped the other sisters a lot who are mega sick
☆ had an in depth convo about zodiac signs with a member (in romanian) and she knew everything about them and told us everything about our zodiac signs
This week was good. There are a lot of miracles going on in Romania right now. There are a lot of people on baptismal date in the country (keep them all in your prayers) and even little miracles for me here in Timișoara. We have a lot of progressing friends and so many who want to get closer to God. It's a beautiful thing to see. But when that happens the adversary works way harder to try and keep people from doing that. As a missionary I feel like I see the different ways the adversary is attacking - it comes just generally in life, it came specifically to our friends this week, and it can attack us personally and make you feel down about yourself and your efforts and that can make it hard to do the work. But as hard as Satan works - God is better than it all and miracles were and are seen. I've been thinking about this a lot this and as well as one other topic so bare with me. (If you know me you know I like to share all my thoughts). This week one of our friends was telling us that they didn't want to meet anymore and they didn't think the book of mormon is true and all these things. And it made me so upset. I was wondering why I took it so hard and I just realized that it was because I saw the change in their life and know this Gospel is true with all my heart. This Gospel is my greatest asset, greatest support and greatest help. Everything I have and am I owe to God and this Gospel. So I guess to end this little rant, God is so good and working here in Romania. The adversary works hard but God wins. The Gospel is true and God is the reason for everything.
I love you all so much, I'm the worst at responding to emails but I LOVE receiving them
love, sami
