We had some pretty amazing experiences this week. We
set a goal to teach a certain amount of lessons this week and although
we did not hit our goal Heavenly Father placed people in our path to
teach and we totally could have beaten our goal if people didn't have
free agency but apparently that is a pretty big part of the Plan so I
just have to learn to deal with it.
We started teaching
Georgiana this week. She is a 14 year old girl that is the captain of
her Handbol team. How tight is that? She is the first girl I have met in
Romania that plays sports and man do I love this young woman. We taught
her Plan of Salvation first, and after the lesson she said she would
teach us Romanian, haha it was so cute. Probably also a hint that my Romanian is still terrible though. Anyway she also came to Razvon's
baptism. The baptism was incredible by the way. The spirit was so
strong. Razvon bore his testimony after it was so simple yet so
powerful. He said he knows that the Lord Jesus Christ lives and that
this is his restored gospel. He also said he was ready to devote his
life to Christ. It was so so cool.
Anyway back to Georgiana.
She was there and she loved it. Then we had a lesson with her about the
restoration. We watched the Restoration video with her and after she
said that she has never had a movie captivate her like this one did. She
said she felt like she was there in the grove with Joseph and she
remembered she was back in Romania. It was so cool to hear her say that.
We testified that that was the Holy Ghost testifying to her of the
truth. We wanted to set a baptism date with her but she said she wants
to think and pray which I appreciate because it means she knows how
important this decision is. It was a powerful lesson. I love Georgiana
so much and I am so glad I get to stay here in Ploiesti and keep
teaching her.
Family Friends people listen up. If you are
ever doubting your testimony or if you want to know which of all of the
churches on this earth are true. Read the Book of Mormon, read Joseph
Smith History and pray about it. Ask God our eternal father if this is
his church and I promise that if you are praying with a desire and with a
willing heart you will feel his love and through the Holy Ghost you can
come to know that this is his gospel. That through this gospel you can
find eternal happiness.
Okay now for some fun
stuff. On Wednesday we went to a salt mine about an hour away from here.
It was like a 20 minute van drive down into this mine. It was HUGE like
you could host a concert a world cup game and a super bowl in there AT
THE SAME TIME. It was so so cool. We all started coming up with
different movies we could make in there and stuff. Part of the Dark
Knight was filmed in this one so that is sick. The salt mine had like
little restaurants you could eat at and lots of things sculpted from
salt. It was way cool.
I am so blessed to be
able to live in such a beautiful country, to be able to become a part of
the culture here and to hopefully eventually learn this beautiful
language.
People I love you all!
