Hey everyone!! This was a crazy week but super awesome!!!
We started getting things done and off our plates which lead to more time finding and doing missionary work. We've been putting the focus a lot on finding people to open our teaching pool. So we took a lot of advice from our Zone Conference presentation and put it to practice. I will be honest, it has been much for invigorating for Elder Dahl and I and we have seen more opportunities come. We have been doing a much better job finding by the way and because of that, we have found more and more people willing to listen to the gospel. We are still weak and have a lot to learn, but the effort has really helped us energize our finding efforts. We have also been using other methods like English to bring in young people willing to learn. For example, there is a young man named Elisei who expressed a really sincere desire to meet up (he even said he can't wait to have a meeting to talk about the church) and we have established a date to meet with him and we are excited to see his progress. I think the next step we must take is teaching these people the lessons and helping them gain a desire to come to church and be baptized. But for now, we have been improving the first step of finding and we have been seeing much success from that.
We have also been working hard with members and involving them in the work. Darius has been eager and excited to be in our lessons and we have prepared many times for these member present lessons, but the people have not showed up which is the only irritating part about all this. Vasile has also expressed this desire and their involvement will really help both them progress towards our goals for them. I'm excited to work with them and all the other members to help grow this branch.
We had our exchange with Timisoara this week as well and it went great! I was with Elder Froerer and we did good things together. First off, we had a very great day of SYL so that just made everything super great! We had good studies, worked hard, talked to a good amount of people, so I say it was a success.
We also had Zone Conference and that was super awesome! It was my first Zone Conference as a Zone Leader and it was pretty fun, but kind of stressful haha. But we learned a lot, had a good time, ate some good pizza and oranges, and had a dope White Elephant party in which I was given a disco lamp. So yes, it was a good time!
Keep it simple, for through small and simple things, great things come to pass. Don't worry about all the micro details, just concentrate your focus on making your good better and your better best. It won't happen right away, but slowly and steadily it will. I hope you all have a great week and you do great things!! I love you all and miss you all!!
