Hey everyone, this one a pretty good week for us in Pitesti!
First off, we had a super awesome lesson with Erika, a returning member, and her boyfriend Peli. We've been pushing for something like this for a while and we finally got it! We taught the Restoration and Peli really liked it. He agreed to read the Book of Mormon and seems like a really sincere guy. And it also helped out Erika to have a greater desire to come back to church, especially since she'll be the example for Peli. I really think this is the best way for people to come unto the church and i think we'll see some huge success with this couple!
We also had a really cool lesson with Amber! We've been following up with her about reading the Book of Mormon and we finally had a Restoration lesson. It was really cool to teach her and ask questions because she answered them in such simple ways that the Spirit was helping testify of everything! We also watched the Restoration video and just to sit and watch and have the Spirit fill the room was amazing. Now shes reading and praying to know the truth! Shes a sincere person and I'm excited to see what happens!
We also met with Maria this week and we had a joint lesson with her and Tata Sandu. We read from 3 Nephi 11 and testified of the truthfulness of Christ's doctrine and the Book of Mormon. Tata Sandu then said that he believes it is a true book and that is just one more step closer to baptism, even at his old age. He also is appreciating our visits way more, especially when we read a lot from the Book of Mormon and pray with him. I hope we can have one last big lesson with him before I go home and set him on the right path.
This week, I watched "Meet the Mormons" and there was something that stuck out a lot to me. There was a member who was a football coach and he said that he's not coaching because of the team or the glory, but because this is how he supports his family and success will help support his family. He turned outward and showed the character of Christ by putting others first. We must follow the example of Christ and turn outward when the natural man wants to turn inward. It's hard, but I believe we can truly bring ourselves closer to Christ by helping others before ourselves. I love you all and I hope you all have a wonderful week!
