Hey everyone, all is well here in Pitesti!
This was a good week here in Pitesti and I think we are starting to get things going. We focused a lot on members this week and to strengthen them. We have been working with Erika, a young returning member, to get her to be a friend to our people in lessons and at church. It was really cool this week with her because out of the blue she asked if she could be apart of a lesson or pass our pamphlets while she was in Pitesti. That was really cool and she is so close to coming back. She just needs to put church as a priority and then she's in. She's going to be the big support for Rahela to have a desire to come to church. We then started some ministering efforts as we talked with some members about who to visit and then going to visit those people with Marius. It didn't go as well as hoped, but we took a step in the right direction and I think this next week will be better. We also are continuing to try and strengthen Mihai and Maria by reteaching the lessons and it's been helping and we hope to see some progress with them.
We also had a really good lesson with Dragos. We finally got in contact with him and had a lesson and talked about the baptism calendar and showed him how close he is to being baptized. We talked about the commandments and blitzed through them because he understood them so well. But now it's a matter of if he'll put God as a priority with vacation and preparing for exams that are in September. It's a process but he has so much potential that we'll work hard to help him as much as we can.
I just finished the ministry of the sons of Mosiah to the Lamanites and that really motivated my missionary senses and helped me know that while there are hardships, there will be success. The Lord will watch over and place his hands in our lives to help us know that we are never forsaken. God loves us and when we are in the service of our fellow man, we are showing our love to him as well. Never forget that and you will feel God's love for you. Love you all and I hope for only the best this week!
