December 16, 2013 Buna Buna!

Good news, everyone! They sell Philadelphia cream cheese here mixed with Milka Chocolate! We just found it while we were grocery shopping today!

In other good, (and probably even better!) news, we had a very successful week! We're still investigator-less, but not for long! We found 3 people who we will be meeting with this week, and we were able to meet up with a woman here who's been inactive for quite a while now!

The first woman we'll be meeting with is named Janina. We found her when we were contacting in a very humble looking apartment block. She came to her door, and we shared a message about the Book of Mormon. She seemed so interested! So we asked her if we could leave it with her, and return later to talk more about it. When we asked this she said "But how? I have no money to buy it.". When we explained it was free, she was so happy!

Our other 2 investigators came from our English class. We have all the student fill out questionnaires at the beginning and one of the questions on the questioner is " Are you interested in learning more about the church?" and these two girls, who are  21 and 23 checked yes!

We talked with them a little bit last week, and they are excited to meet with us! But I think we're even more excited to meet with them :)

As for the inactive woman we met with, her name is Illeana, and she is amazing. We came to the door, and immedietly she welcomed us in. We brought her some Christmas cookies and a Christmas message. We also discussed a little bit about why she hadn't been coming to church. Things have been hard for her and she's been having money and health issues. She didn't come to church last Sunday, but she did invite us to come back! She'll be coming back to church soon, we're sure of it :)

We had a couple of great English classes this week. We love our advanced English class a lot. We did an activity on Saturday where we had each member of the class draw a candy bar out of a hat and then they had to stand up and try to give a 1 to 2 minute speech on why their candy bar was better than everyone elses . 

Oh! On Sunday I got to translate for the first time! It was from Romanian to English so it wasn't too hard. We had someone visiting from the US, and I got to translate the Elder's Sunday school lesson. So that was fun!

And that's our week! Things are going great over here! Thank you so much for your support and prayers! I know that's a huge part of why we had success this week!

I love you so much!!!!
