| Our Mountain! Elder Thomson and Bowen |
Hello
everybody!! This was a super fire week here in the great city of Pitești!!!!
Tuesday
was a pretty slow day overall. We were able, though, to get a pretty cool new
potential investigator named Gheorghe. He is an older man who knows the branch
president in Panduri and he respects us a whole lot. He said he really would
like to meet up so we are excited to see how that goes.
Wednesday
we had a really special Zone Conference in București. Elder De Feo of the 70 (one of the central leadership groups of the church) came and he had a whole lot to talk about. It was a super spiritual event for
everyone there. A huge focus was about letting the Spirit teach us instead of
him. He told us to write down what we felt in our hearts throughout the
conference while also writing down what we were taught. That was super cool and
I felt the Spirit teach me in more ways than I thought possible. A cool part of
the conference was when Elder De Feo told us to "arise into the
mountain" to find spiritual guidance to know what to do with our
investigators. So Elder Thomson and I decided to do so--by standing on a pile
of bricks we called our mountain. Elder De Feo thought that was super awesome
and took a picture of what we were doing. So we are now on his phone, which is
in his pocket, so don't be surprised when we are in one of his General
Conference talks in the future haha. Overall it was such a great day and we
were able to see so many awesome people.

Thursday
we had a lesson with Mihai about the simplest commandments like obedience,
prayer, scripture study, and following the prophet. That led to him telling us
he is struggling with not drinking coffee. So we are helping him quit coffee so
he can be ready for his baptism on the 23rd. I'm excited for him and I hope
everything goes well as he stops drinking coffee. We then reactivated a former
investigator named Cătălin and he is a super cool dude! He really wants to come
back and learn more so we are going to teach him again and hope that he is
solid this time!!!

Friday
we had a interesting day. Nothing much happened except sports night, where we
Americans got beat up by the guys we were playing basketball with. We got
kicked, slapped, cut, etc. all because the people we were playing with didn't
really know how to play clean. So we got pretty ticked off and we kind of just
left it alone for the time being. But next week, watch out haha.
Saturday
we had a good English class and met this awesome guy named Dragoș who turned
out to be a super cool guy. He wants to know more about our church because he
has never heard about us so we think we can get somewhere with him!
Sunday
we had a good time at church. Luminița was confirmed a member and that brought
everything full circle. We then had another cool experience where a
granddaughter of a less-active member came to church and wants to continue
coming to church and be baptized. Her name is Roxy and we are super excited for
her because she already has read the scriptures a whole lot and wants to know
more really badly. So we have a great teaching pool for this upcoming week and
we are super excited to get to work.
Keep
being your awesome selves and I can't wait to hear about all the blessings you
receive for being righteous sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father! Love you
all!
