This
week was packed. We started doing 30/30 lessons with a mom and a
daughter. We had a great lesson with them about the restoration. I was
struggling with the language SO BAD! Then the mom said I don't
understand the need for this in my life. Then Sora Allen bore one of the
most powerful testimonies of the gospel I have ever heard in my entire
life. She was crying, the lady we were teaching was crying, it was
INTENSE but AWESOME. The spirit was so strong. It was a testimony to me,
that Heavenly Father will get his work done no matter, how inadequate
his servants are, as long as we are doing all we can, He will make up
the rest.
We got to Bucharest for Zone Conference this week,
it was amazing. President Ivory invited a friend of his from England to
come and speak to us. The Rutley's. Brother Rutley is a member of
parliament, NBD. They were incredible, him and his wife spoke to us
about building the kingdom and what we can do build up our part of the
kingdom. It was really cool and made me think about who I need to be,
and what more I need to do to help build Heavenly Father's kingdom. One
of my favorite quotes from them was, People spend all their lives trying
to figure out their purpose, we as members of this church already have
the divine gift of knowing our purpose, thus we can spend all our lives
accomplishing it.
Sora Ivory spoke all about our journey and
preparing ourselves for the journey. She is incredible, every time she
speaks I am taught exactly what I need to hear. I loved seeing everyone.
There are so many different kinds of people in this mission when we all
get together, it is never boring.
So funny story for the
week, On wednesday we somehow ended up with three dinner appointments.
We had one in the morning with Sora Matei, she fed us the best sarmale I
have ever had. Then Sora Simon for lunch she fed us a four course meal,
complete with an insane amount of bread and desert. Then we had another
lesson that night and they fed us ciorba which is soup and a plate full
of mash potatoes and chickem. THEN the other soras called us and
invited us over to their new apartment for dinner. I literally ate more
food that day than I have ever eaten in my entire life! It was rough.
But we are so blessed to be in Ploiesti, with so many awesome members.
We had 55 people aty church on sunday. I almost cried. The chapel was
almost full, it was such a beautiful sight to see. This branch is
exploding, the members were so happy and President Musat asked everyone
to fast for english classes next transfer because that is where the last
three baptisms have come from. Seriously it was an awesome sunday!
Well my peoples I am signing off, love you so so much!
Sora Armstrong
