Hey everyone! This was another good week for us boys in Pitești!
So our week was spent strengthening our recent convert Mihai and preparing him to receive the priesthood. We started by teaching him more about the priesthood so he could be prepared to know the responsibilities and now he's excited to start passing the sacrament and even blessing it. He's still got a long way to go as a member, but he's ready to learn. I was blessed to give him the priesthood and I could feel the excitement in him when he received it and it will be great for him. We are now trying to work with Dragoș to get him ready for baptism. Unfortunately, we weren't able to meet with him because he got a job this week (which is still really awesome) and he was out of town this weekend. He's still reading from the Book of Mormon so his desire is still there. He just needs more time to learn the necessary items for baptism. But it's been good overall.
We recently started getting in contact with Erika, an 18 year old returning member who has expressed a desire to come back to church. Her family is moving to Sweden, but she's staying which is super good because we need her to be a friend for some girls that we've been teaching, especially Rahela. We're also going to get her to bring her boyfriend to church which would be super good for her as well. And it's mainly in part of Facebook because she's heavily active on that! So we're going to continue working with her on that and get her back to church!
We also had our district finding activity in Ploiești and it went super well!! We decided on doing chalk contacting because the weather was nice and we drew the plan of salvation and it brought so many people. We probably talked to over 10 people per missionary and we overall got over 10 contacts. It was such a fun time doing missionary work and it really brought the district closer and more united.
I read the account of Abinadi this week and I have so much love and admiration for a man who sealed his testimony of the Savior with death. Even when told that he would survive if he denied the Christ, he didn't. As a missionary, I know that these are true and while I'm not in a life or death situation as Abinadi, I will not deny the truthfulness of the message for I know it has blessed my life. I invite you to do all you can to know the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I love you all and I wish you all a great week!!!
