Pace Domnul Domnul Pace

Tulips. Pitesti is apparently famous for them

Hello everybody!!! This was a fire week and success was quite common this week!!!

Tuesday we were fortunate to have the opportunity to meet with a investigator in the morning but it turned out to be very interesting. This investigator's name is Luminta and she is a Pentecostal and every time we meet with her, she greets us by saying "Pace Domnul" which means Peace Lord. So that was really weird and then she took us to a store and ended up buying us button-up white shirts! We tried to refuse but she kept saying her Pace Domnul so we let her do it. She really loves us and it showed hahaha.

Wednesday was an awesome day as we kept the work progressing here in Pitesti. We set another baptismal date for May 12th with a guy named Mihai and this really got people pumped. President Hettinger is so pumped for us, mainly cause Pitesti has not had a baptism is 5 years and now we have 2 dates set!!! I'm super pumped for what is to come and Mihai is absolutely great!!!!!!

Thursday was a pretty normal day as we had to do some work for Elder Solov'iov's visa. But we still managed to do good things so that's all that matters. Hopefully all this work will pay off in the end haha.

Pitesti is a beautiful city

Friday we had the great opportunity to do service for a member named Marius. We helped him in his garden and to dig some dirt hahah. We were with him from 8 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon, but we were lucky to get some good food for our hard work haha.

The weekend was full of a lot of stuff. We checked out a tulip festival that Pitesti has every year. Turns out they are the tulip city of Romania so that is pretty fun!! We also had a great time at church as Mihai came to church and is continuing to love everything!!! This week we didn't do much contacting, but we were definitely blessed with baptismal dates and great service to take up that time!

I love you and miss you all! Keep being awesome and rock the world!!!

Hello everybody! Another hard working week in Bucuresti!!!! Bucuresti Zone Elders Tuesday was a solid day because it was Zone Conference! Of course it was in Bucuresti and we had quite a good time. We focused a lot on using members more in our missionary work. The motto of the conference was MEMBER IT and we got pretty hyped about everything. It was cool to see everyone as well and see how everyone is doing. Elder Thomson and Bowen the old Pitesti crew Wednesday we had a full day of contacting and lessons and it went pretty well. We had 2 big lessons with our men Felix and Florian. The first one with Felix was pretty darn good. We had a member named Fratele Matei with us and we gave a pretty scattered Restoration lesson for the most part. But it was really good because it helped Felix get comfortable with Matei and it should start a great friendship between the 2 of them. Our second lesson with Florian was also pretty good. It was really quick and simple because we

Celebration!!

Sweater Weather! HEYY everyone! This week was a week to celebrate about so listen up!!! Tuesday was the highlight of the week for sure!! We had a lesson with this man named Gelu and it was super awesome! When I was with Elder Dixon, we met this man on the street and taught him the Restoration. He loved it and accepted a baptismal invitation. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get in contact with him afterwards and we dropped him sadly. BUT, he called us this week and said he was super sorry for the lack of communication and he told us he really wanted to change his life for the better. So we decided to meet up and taught him the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And the lesson was absolutely amazing!! He loved it, we felt the Spirit, and we felt it was right to extend an invitation for baptism. Gelu will be baptized on February 24th in Galati and we are so pumped and excited for him. We even called President Hettinger and told him the news and he was just as pumped. It was really an

HammocKings! Hey guys this was a crazy week on so many levels!!!! Tuesday was a pretty packed day. We had 3 lessons with 3 investigators and they all went well. Our first was with Mihai and we helped him try and get back on that path towards baptism. He's been kinda flaky and this lesson was to really help him get back on track. We then had a lesson with Victoria and this was one of the highlights. We taught her about the Restoration and reestablished those expectations that we have for her. Turns out she has read from the Book of Mormon and is starting to see the similarities of the Bible and the Book of Mormon. She is starting to really progress and only big things are going to happen. We then taught Catalin a little about faith. This is what we really want to focus with him if he is ever going to progress any time soon. Overall, it was a bomb day! Am I real? Wednesday we had a slightly worse day as we only had 2 lessons to teach. The first was with Mihai ag
