Hey everyone this was an AWESOME week!!!!!!!!
Even with some lessons falling through, we worked hard and we were able to see the fruits of our labors and those fruits were the greatest things I have ever tasted. What was great was that we continued our hot streak of talking to people and yet again, we didn't have a single day under 10 conversations. We just talked with everyone and we were persistent as well with these people. That lead to us finding 7 new friends this week, and at least one new person every single day. Needless to say, the Spirit was strong with us and that led to so many miracles and fire moments for us. I would like to share a few of those with you.
The first that I want to share is about a man named Robert. I met Robert on Friday on our exchange with Sibiu while we were walking to the church building. I saw him in the distance and felt a strong prompting to talk to him. So I did and we starting having a really good conversation. He was asking why I was here and what I was sharing and I was explaining how our message gives people peace and comfort and brings us closer to Christ. Because of this, he asked a follow-up question saying "Why did you stop and talk to me?" I responded and said that I had a feeling that I needed to talk to him. He responded by saying how he was in a really dark part of his life and this message was just what he needed. Ever since, we have been keeping daily contact and will have a lesson with him tomorrow and we feel like inviting him to be baptized because he is just so prepared for this message.
The second was last night about Gabriel. We have been trying so hard to have a lesson with him and we finally succeeded and from the very get go the Spirit was super strong. He was asking some of the best questions ever and we listened, shared scriptures that answered these questions and he was feeling something deep. And then, because of some great preparation, Elder Stark invited this guy to be baptized and he accepted. And now his date is May 8th and I am so excited for him. We are now keeping constant communication so he can receive knowledge and be prepared to be baptized. I just remember the Spirit testifying of our message and I knew that what we were doing was right and true. It was truly the perfect way to end such a beautiful week.
So yeah, we had an awesome exchange with Sibiu so that led to an awesome couple of days!!! First off, I was with both Elder Stark and Elder Church and we just talked to everyone! We probably talked to 30+ people and found many people interested in the Gospel. We also had a huge district council with 10 people because some sisters from Brasov came so that was awesome! And then we were also blessed to have the Hettingers in Cluj this weekend for Branch Conference and we had a great time contacting with him and the Gospel was shared to even more people!!! Yes, it was quite the week in Cluj!!
I love you all and I want you to know that God loves you as well and He wants you all to be happy and feel of His love and peace. Have a great week and never forget who you are!
