What is up all my friends?? This week was another solid week
in Galati!

Tuesday was a pretty chill day, mainly because we had to
wait for people to fix our radiators. But it was worth the wait because of
apartment is now very warm and I am really enjoying it. We didn't have too much
success contacting but we taught English and people actually showed up! It was
pretty chill and we had a great lesson.

Wednesday we went over to Sora Delia's and it was such a
great morning because she made us food and she is an extremely good cook. We
talked about missionary work with her and invited her to give a Book of Mormon
to someone and invite them to church. We then made a lot of calls to people to
try and set up a lesson of some sorts. It lead to a lot of deleted numbers, but
we managed to set up a lesson with this guy named Ionut. He is an interesting
guy and I'm not really sure where he stands after our lesson, but he told us
that he felt something good after our lesson and that is a very good sign. The
Holy Ghost is real!!! And it can touch the hearts of the most surprising
people.

Thursday was a pretty nasty day weather wise, so we stayed
in our apartment until it started to clear up a little better. We did some
studies and the weather eventually cleared up for us to go outside and not die.
Nothing big happened though during the day.

Friday we planned for the next week and we are once again
super pumped for this week, even though our big potential investigators aren't
free until February. We are pumped because we are going to achieve total
domination in Galati and work towards knocking all the blocs possible. It
honestly makes me excited to bloc knock because who doesn't love total
domination of a city??
Saturday we started our quest for Domination, but it didn't
start off too hot. We knocked 34 doors and only 1 person answered but that is
only the beginning. We have an entire city to knock and we will find someone to
teach in Galati, even if it takes all the blocs. We also had a lesson fall
through once again which made the day a little worse, but everyday ends on a
high note when your apartment is warm!

Sunday was a nice day at church. We didn't get any
potentials at church but this gypsy kid showed up so that was pretty nice (I
guess haha). We were then bunged again by this person, so we didn't have the
most productive afternoon. But we went and had a Family Home Evening with
Familia Stancu and it was a very fun evening. We played games and everyone was
super happy and enjoying the evening. We then discussed Elder Holland's talk
"Be Ye Therefore Perfect--Eventually". We are all imperfect beings
who will never become perfect unless we strive to follow the perfect example of
Jesus Christ. We will be blessed if we try our best to improve ourselves
everyday to become like Christ. After the discussion, we wrote down ways we can
each try to improve ourselves. It was super great and we definitely ended our
evening on a high note.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds. But don't forget
to be happy while you work. Service with a smile as a goose once said in Kung
Fu Panda (At least I think so..). I miss you all and hope you are all having a
super fun time living life! Live life to the fullest!!
Va iubesc,
Elder Bowen
