Buna!!
I don't have long today, but I sent lots of pictures which say a lot:)
Things here are wonderful. In these last 2 weeks, we've gained 4 new investigators, which apparently pretty uncommon for the area. Lenka is our newest investigator, and she is amazing. She lives in this tiny tiny tiny little home right about under the freeway. It feels more like South America than Europe over in that area. At our last visit we extended a soft baptisml inviation and she said she would like to be baptized! We'll keep teaching her for a little bit, but things are going great.
On Sunday, We took Sebi and his sister Alexandra to church with us. Sebi is 9, and was just baptized a few weeks ago. His sister Alexandra is 10, and is not too interested in being baptized right now. There mom is a member, but hasn't been active for years. We were planning on going with the whole family to church, but the kids were the only ones who could go. The Dad wasn't home and the Mom was sick. President Hill gave us the okay to take the kids so we did. After Sacrament meeting, Sebi went missing. All four of us missionaries looked everywhere. The church here is a big house with 4 floors. We looked on every one. We looked outside. He was no where. We were so panicked. Finally, we go back inside, and upstairs again to find Sebi standing in a pile of broken glass. He'd crawled in one of the cabinents in the church kitchen. It's funny now, but SO not funny then. We were just so glad to find him!
Last Tuesday we had Zone conference in Timisoara. Timi was absolutely beautiful! I attatched on of the pictures from there. Our Zone is really great. Sora DeRuvo and I presented on creating an effective language study plan.
Speaking of language, My language skills are getting better everyday! Every meeting we go to, I can understand dramatically more than the last one. Gift of Tongues, anyone? It's coming.
On Friday, there was a HUGE rain storm here. It rained so hard, and the thunder was so hard we kept waking up. It was actually... awesome.
Yesterday we taught a lovely lady named Tina. Tina is amazing. She LOVES LOVES LOVES the church. She reads the BOM daily. She Reads all the Liahonna's we bring her, marks them up, and then tells us all the things she learned and what she's read. But she's not yet willing to be baptized.She said she is waiting for God to tell her to be baptized. Yesterday our lesson with her was on faith. We can have all the faith in the world, but it is of no real benefit to us unless we take action with the faith we have.
I am so grateful for these people and everything they're teaching me. Oh my gosh, they are all amazing.
I love you all so much!!!!!!!! You're in my prayers!
