Life Changer, Miracle Arranger

Hey everyone, I hope you had a great week because Pitesti did!

This was a good week that was capped off by a great baptism. It may have been a sketch baptism with tape all around the font, but nonetheless, Mihai was baptized and that was the highlight of the week! It was great to see Mihai enter into the waters of baptism and to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost and to truly see him come a long way. He has great desires to do good and help people. But he has a long ways to go in his progression and that is why we are going to work super hard to strengthen him and continue to teach him the doctrines found in Preach My Gospel. We talked to him about the priesthood and helped him understand what will happen and what his role will be with the priesthood. He's actually pretty excited to start passing the sacrament/blessing the sacrament which is great. But he will definitely be a work in progress as there are so many things to help him with, but he's ready for the step by step progress.


We have also been working still with Dragos and he's continually making time and effort to read from the scriptures and to come to church, even if he doesn't have the time to do so. This last week he had to leave pretty early from church, but he came long enough for the sacrament and then left, which shows his desire to come to church, even when it's hard. We're looking to start teaching the commandments and helping him prepare for his baptism on the 13th.

Jesus Christ is a life changer and a miracle arranger. I don't think any of these miracles would ever happen to us if Christ wasn't our Savior. It's a good feeling to know God truly loves us and wants us to succeed, so He gave us His only begotten son, Jesus Christ. What a great feeling and I am grateful for that. I hope you all have a great week and loves to you all!

Va iubesc,

With Every Hardship, There is Ease

Hey everyone, this was a pretty fun week for us! First off, crazy awesome miracle!!! So for the past couple weeks, we haven't been able to get in contact with our good friend Dragoș. But we found him on the street and we invited him to church and the most amazing thing happened. He told us that these past weeks he had been in the hospital because of something with his head. But while in the hospital, he had a dream with an angelic person telling him that he needed to be baptized in the church of Jesus Christ. So on Sunday he told us he wants to be baptized as soon as possible, which leads to us having a baptismal date with him for the 3rd of August. God works in marvelous ways because he truly loves us. Another cool miracle this week was our friend Amber. She's from China and is doing volunteer work here in Romania. This week we started teaching her Romanian/Gospel and its been really great! She also loves the piano so she played the piano for us at church! She loved ch...

Stand Ye in Holy Places

Hey everyone!!! So this was a really big week and a good amount of things went down, but I don't have all the time to talk about them, so I'll just give you all the basics! Bowen and Hoisington in the street! So the highlight and downfall of this week was when we set a baptismal date with Felix for about 24 hours. So we met up with him this week and we had a lesson about the Plan of Salvation. We had Fratele Matei with us and he was a big help for us because he loves this lesson. So we teach and it went really well and we set a date for August 18th! We were happy, Matei was happy, it was great. But we were talking with him at night and he said he no longer had any faith. So naturally, we meet up with him again and it was an interesting meeting. Essentially he is looking for historical evidence that the Book of Mormon is true and he doesn't have that evidence that it is true. So, we dropped his date and we won't be meeting with him anymore until he starts having ...

El Ultimo, Sfârşitul, My Final Curtain

Hello all you people! For those playing at home, this is my final email that I will send as a missionary. So this email will definitely be a good one! We had a solid week here in Pitesti. We had a really good lesson with Tata Sandu where we read from Alma 7, which testifies of Jesus Christ and the importance of faith and repentance and being baptized. His health keeps him from coming to church, but he really is interested and wants to hear our message. It seems that right when we arrive, he wants to read from the Book of Mormon, which is a sign of eagerness to learn and feast upon the words of Christ. Hopefully Elder Rawhouser can continue to help his desire grow and maybe help him enter the waters of baptism. We made it a priority this week to work with members, especially to strenghten up Mihai the recent convert. This week we focused on temples on watched some videos on what goes on in the temple and what all of it means. He liked it and now we want that to be his goal to go...
