Salut tuturor copiilor porumbului!
First off, I now know my new companion!! He is an awesome guy named Elder Stark from American Fork, Utah and let me tell you, we are going to have a great time!! We are both super excited to get to work with him in this awesome city!
This was an amazing week for us here in Cluj!I think the coolest thing about this week was not only that we hit the standards of excellence every day, but we exceeded them everyday! Elder Stark and I have been trying our best to talk to everyone, contacting by the way, and trying new everything. Because of that, we had an average of around 15-20 conversations each day. It felt super good just to talk to people and bring souls unto Christ! Now we have more people in our teaching pool and we are ready to set up many more lessons. We also found some referrals for missionaries in Turkey and Italy so great things are happening for all nations! We have also been trying to set up more lessons with people, but everyone has been flaky which is unfortunate. But we do have a lesson with a man named Calin tonight so we are pretty excited and hope the Spirit is on our side! Overall, we have been finding people, talking with people, and doing our part to bring souls to Christ. Now I just hope the other side reciprocates so we can have these great spiritual moments more often.
We are working hard with our members, especially with a man named Emil. We are ministering partners and we had a meeting this week to establish a plan for our members. We had a great meeting, headlined by working from Come, Follow Me and now we are trying hard to work with the members on our list to help them with these similar items. We want Emil to come to church more often, but because of his work he isn't able to as often. He has the desire to switch jobs, but he needs to find one first. Self Reliance might be a good idea, but we are studying it out to know the best option for him. As far as the other members go, we are going to meet with them this week and figure out where we need to start with them.
Who are we to become in this wonderful life on Earth? As I have come to learn here in Romania, that if we truly want to come to know Jesus Christ, we need to become as He is. Love, charity, steadfast faith, diligence in all things, obedience to His counsel, submitting to the will of the Father, etc. So my invitation to you all is to DO THAT! And center all things in Christ that you may become as He is. So what manner of (wo)men ought we to be? Even as Jesus Christ. I love you all so much and I hope and pray for a great week!!
