Week 16- Answers to Prayers

This week has been so amazing! We have been meeting with Alexandra still and this week she finished the Book of Mormon and prayed. Heavenly Father revealed to her that it is true!! I am so happy for her. We had an amazing experience and I feel overjoyed to be a part of this process and to see miracles like this in the lives here! We had so many awesome experiences this week and I am just so grateful to be here. With every day I feel my love grow for the people of Romania and I feel more and more that this is my home and that these are my people. I feel a deeper desire every day to share this gospel with each and every one of them. I know that this is the way to find true happiness and peace and safety and I know that it is my responsibility to share this amazing blessing with them. I love you all and I can feel your prayers blessing me and blessing my people here!

Week 15- Ioas, Poiana, Brasov

This week was amazing! I got to go to Ioas again for Zone Conference and this time I remembered to take pictures! It was an amazing opportunity to be there and I learned while I was there the power that each and every one of us have to do good. I have already seen so many miracles and lives changed here through Jesus Christ. God has allowed me to be His instrument here and as I turn my life over to Him and as I go forth with faith He allows me to see miracles. I unfortunately have no time again today but I just want to say that Heavenly Father is there and that He loves you and that He wants you to find happiness and peace and that I know that this happiness and peace is found through His restored church on earth. I have a ton of pictures from this week so I hope it makes up for the short email!!

​​​​​​​​​​I also got to go to Poiana this week which is a skii resort in Brasov! Love you all!! 

Week 14- I love Brasov! I love Heavenly Father! I love life!

This week was super amazing again! I love my life here in Brasov! With every passing week I feel more and more that this is my home and that these are my people. We have gotten to the point here that we will run into friends and investigators on the streets and at the store. I love seeing people that I know and love day to day. I feel so at home especially with the members here. We are a family in the Brasov branch! We have been working really hard this week to strengthen Zion here. We have been visiting less active members and meeting new people and just seeing so many miracles! I love you all so much and thank you for your prayers and love! 

Unfortunately I have no time and no pictures hahah so just know that I am happy, healthy, and receiving so many blessings from God!​​ 

Here is an old picture hahah.

Week 13- Goals, Prayers, and Blessings

This week was so amazing and full of miracles. It all started when we set transfer goals as a companionship. We set some really specific, kind of scary number goals. As we were talking about what we could do to reach them, we realized that it would really come down to our faith and prayers. We set these goals and got to work! We have been talking about how specific prayers bring specific blessings and we started praying that we would be blessed with more time to meet new people to share the gospel with and that we would be able to find a family to teach. 

The blessings came immediately! We have had so many more opportunities to talk to people and we have had so many chances to talk to families here in Brasov. Some other awesome blessings that we saw were that we were able to set up to meet with a lot of people whose numbers we had already had. We had one miracle with an investigator that we haven't been able to contact for weeks! We are planning on meeting with her this week to teach her about the Plan of Salvation. We are continuing to pray and pray and work and work. I feel so blessed by God! 

I have learned so far on my mission what a true power and force faith is. When I truly ask God believing that He will bless me He always does. Sometimes not the way that I think it will be but always the way that I need. We have continued to teach Alexandra and she's progressing toward baptism and really starting to understand who Jesus Christ is for her. She told us yesterday that she loves going to church and that there is something good in her heart that she can't quite explain! She is striving every day to keep the Word of Wisdom and is praying about the law of Chastity. The amazing thing about her is that she only wants to do what is right and to find the truth and she is willing to act on what she finds out. She has a sincere heart and real intent! 

We have felt so guided this week in our teaching and finding this week and we know that God has plans for Brasov and for all of Romania! Sometimes it is hard to see that God is there and that He has a plan for us. But I know with all my heart that He truly is. He is our loving Father in Heaven and He is waiting to hear from us and waiting to bless us. Pray to Him in faith and He will answer! I love you all so much! Thank you for your love and support and strength!

The only pictures I have are of the view from our new apartment. It is so beautiful and we feel so blessed!
