Hello peoples of the world. This was a pretty chill week!!
Tuesday was ZONE CONFERENCE in the Panduri zone and it was pretty awesome. We focused a lot on baptism and how we can bring our investigators to baptism more often. It was a really great topic and definitely something that I want to improve on with the rest of my mission. However, before we can bring investigators to baptism, we have to have investigators in the first place. This week was really the start of that work to get investigators.
Wednesday we had a great lesson with our investigator Daria. We invited her to the church for a tour and she ended up bringing her friend Andreea with her!! So we taught both of them, showed them around the church building and they absolutely loved it! After discussing with them a little bit about our church, we extended a baptismal invitation and they said they would be baptized if they found it to be God's will. So that was super and we hope they start progressing more and more!
Thursday was a very big grind day and we had to work really hard to get stuff done. But the highlight of the day was when we dropped off a PERSIAN Book of Mormon to a guy some other missionaries met while block knocking. That was a super cool experience and it goes to show that anyone and everyone is welcome to hear and read the word of the Lord.
Friday was a pretty slow day besides district meeting. But we had a really good district meeting and we discussed the Joseph Smith story and how Joseph Smith demonstrated faith and diligence (Christlike attributes) in his search for an answer from God. Such a great story and I challenge everyone to read that story again and to ponder on what Joseph Smith did.
Saturday was a cool day because we went to a baptism in the other Bucuresti zone. That was really cool because it was the first baptism I have been to here and I enjoyed it a lot. But other than that, we had a pretty boring day and we weren't able to do much overall unfortunately.
Sunday was a pretty long and tiring day. Church was good, but none of our investigators ended up showing up which was pretty sad. But after church we went over to a members house and it was a good time. They made us hot dogs and they were probably the best hot dogs I have had in Romania (which is actually none but they were pretty good haha). But all the church and members and Romanian wore us out and we were pretty tired the rest of the day. but it was all for the welfare of the members in Romania!!
Whenever you fall down, get right back up and keep moving forward. Otherwise you won't progress at all. that is missionary work and I am gonna work it everyday, 24/7! I miss you all and hope you all have a great week!!!!
Va iubesc,
