Sora Sami Schofield Romania Bucharest Mission: Canadian Thanksgiving in romania with americans?

Ok this week was a top week, easily among one of my favorites!

We started off with some fun finding on Tuesday! We've been running up split contacting and its been super fun and we met some super cool people. We also had a train to București to go to zone conference! I hit my 400th hour on train played a bunch a cards, some sml work and yapped a little bit haha

Wednesday was ZONE CONF! wahoo!! It was super awesome! We learned so much and had some super awesome discussions with everybody and even got to go streeting in București! We also played a gamed where it was basically tug a war (my girls camp knot tying skills came in handy) but you were tied to the rope instead of gripping it and my comp and I did against each other and we both left with some bruises on our waists haha. Super fun though! I love seeing everyone in our zone and chatting with all my mission friends!

Thursday was the most fun. We had some fun finding! Met with our cute new member Alina. She is literally amazing. She kept telling us how she feels after her baptism and its awesome haha. We THEN met with our cute friend Elena! She is truly perfect. We asked her to read Mosiah 18 before the lesson and we asked her what she liked about it. We then explained the gospel/doctrine of Jesus Christ and asked her to be baptized and she said she's been thinking about it and really wants too, so she's on date for December 13! Wahoo! She is so cutie and lives by a member so they come to and from church together so it's perf.

Friday was pretty normal. We visited a member and she fed us pizza and just kept pulling more pizza out for us haha. Super fun. Saturday was more of the same. We went finding and met with Elena and had games night!

Sunday was fun! We worked hard all weekend to get people to come to church but not that many friends did which is hard. But we did all we could. Elena came though! After church we had a big potluck to celebrate Thanksgiving because Canadian Thanksgiving was a little bit ago and our branch president used to live in Canada and Romania doesn't have a thanksgiving so we celebrated it now haha. Super random but super fun. We also went finding and I accidentally took us to a car dealership instead of a house (she put a wrong address so it wasn't completely my fault) so we walked an hour back into the city but it led us to finding in some different areas so it was a win! Haha

Spiritual thought :

I wish I had some profound spiritual thought for you but honestly I don't haha. I just want to say that I know that living the gospel brings joy! I know that covenants are our way to paradise and eternal joy! Any of the hard in this life will be fixed in the next and the answer to all hard things is Jesus Christ! I love you all and God loves you more!

Love, Sami
