Sora Sami Schofield Romania Bucharest Mission: rain and miracles 🌧🫶

This week was pretty awesome. I have 2 super cool stories I want to share so I'll keep the rest of the week to just some highlights!

☆ had a fun meeting with the Adriatic north mission and got some super cool new ideas for finding!

☆ had a lesson with our cute friend Elena and she said she wants to stay in this church forever

☆ met up with our girl Alina and went to a little history presentation about Sibiu

☆ had a lot of meetings one day but we are hoping to make some fun changes to media work and everything!

☆ did some studies in a cutie cafe while it was raining and it was fun!

☆ went bus/parking lot finding and it was so much fun! We talked to everybody in this huge parking lot and invited them all to church! We had a super fun time doing this, missionary work is just kinda the best

Ok super cool miracle stories time!

☆ first! My comp and I had a nice chunk of finding time and we decided to stop by some old friends houses and then head to a neighborhood we haven't been before and knock it. We stopped by the houses and then started to walk to the neighborhood but I felt so strongly to turn around and go down another road and my comp and I have been working on following the first prompting no matter what so we did. We went down this empty dirt road. We got to the end and my comp said we needed to go a certain way and we luckily found ourselves at an open gate that led us to a neighborhood so we said welp ok let's knock it. Let's just say we got throttled. So many people were mean and didn't want to talk. It was POURING rain. But I just kinda of had this peace that I knew I was in the right spot and that we needed to be on that street. So we kept going and kept praying and kept asking everybody if they knew anybody we should talk to and knocked on a house we felt so good about and they said no rip. So we went another direction and then I was like let's just take this other road home because it's late, I also really felt to turn around. My comp agreed but wanted to walk and knock one more house on the road I wanted to take and we knocked this house and ended up meeting a family!! The dad comes out and asks us why we are in the pouring rain and we told we have the most important message on earth to share and he let us and we taught him and his family and gave them a book of mormon! And we're gonna go this week to meet up. Super awesome miracle. Right place, right time and following all the first promptings we get.

☆ second! We went finding again and decided we were going to invite everyone to church! So we met some cool people but the coolest story was that we were in this one neighborhood that we had been to before and last week we knocked a door and 2 kids answered saying that there mom would like our message but she wasn't home so come back later. We went back later and she wasn't home so we left. But as we were walking out of that bloc we saw a kid (one of the og's from last week) so we knew that he was with his mom! So we chatted with them and are going to go back this week and teach them! It was super cool and we ended up meeting people who we needed too at just the right! God was guiding our efforts this week and it was so cool to watch.

Quick little spiritual thought!

So call me crazy but while i work out I listen to the old testament because it's the last standard work I haven't read it yet but it's kinda hard to read and long so I listen to it but anyways in Deuteronomy 1 it says "The Lord will fight with you". The Lord is always on our side and will fight with us and the strength of the Lord is stronger than any other force. With the Lord anything is possible and I know He will never forsake you. He never leaves us alone and He is fighting with us, what ever we are fighting through, He is walking through that fire with us. How great a comfort that is.

I love you all! Email me!

Love, Sami
