Sora Sami Schofield Romania Bucharest Mission: so you hate cats?

Hey friends! What's up I hope everything is good!

Here's some haps!

LESSONS! we had some awesome lessons this week!

2 with our friend Alina! We finished up teaching her everything, she passed her baptismal interview and is all set for her baptism on October 3rd - I could not be more excited. 15 months in the making hahah. She is excited and can't wait for her baptism, she wants to serve in the church after her baptism and understands and sees the different of her life with the Gospel, basically everything you can ask for.

Taught our friend Victoria! Invited her to be baptized in November and she said yes! We have a lot to teach her but she is amazing. She travels an hour or more for our lessons, church, activities and everything. She doesn't even have a car. She is awesome.

Taught our new friend Anamaria! She filled out a request online and we called her and then went to her house. She lives in a bloc and it is smaller than my parents closet at home. So tiny. Also filled with cigarette smoke. So an immediate shower was taken and laundry done right after. I smelled horrible haha. She also has a cat and she laughed at me because I hate cats and she could tell lol. She also prayed that her cat would stop throwing up during the night. Butttt we taught her some good lessons and she is so excited to read the Book of Mormon and meet with us. The spirit was there and testifying, even in a smoke filled tiny commie bloc.

Taught our friend Beatrice this week! She mostly just yapped lol.

Had a few other really awesome lessons as well!

Some random things!:

- some sml meetings and prep for some presentations we have to do!

- got bowed to and spoken Japanese to? Idk man

- met up with one of our cute members and brought gratitude journals and got smoothies! She is adorable

- a lady kept yapping and telling us she was pro Israel after we literally just asked to help her with all her boxes

- had service with our branch! It was romania's day of service and we went and cleaned up a part of the city with our branch and Alina and Victoria came!

- taught English! And had games night and we played a game with one of our friends and she could not figure it out and it and was so funny so she just ended up roasting us lol

I'll just leave ya with a quick quote "Fortunately the Lord loves us more than we love ourselves" Elder Neal A Maxwell. No matter what we are going through, who we are, what we have done, the Lord loves us infinitely more than we love ourselves. His grace is there for each of us even when we feel like we don't deserve it. He loves us more.

Love you all!
