Week 21- I have no time!

I'm sorry to say that I have no time and no pictures from this week to send because we forgot our card reader at home. But I want to say that I love you all and I am praying for you and that I know that miracles are possible and will happen in your life! 

Some pictures from the last few weeks. I love Cluj and I love this gospel!

Week 20- Babas, Joy, and Missionary Work

This week was really awesome! (as usual (; ) Honestly being a missionary is the greatest thing in the world. All the time we just share the most amazing news ever that the true church of Jesus Christ is on earth and the fact that we can have a personal relationship with God and He can talk to us and help us know that truth for ourselves. We stop everyone we see and share this message with them. This week we talked to the cutest lady ever. The people here in Romania are just the cutest in the world but especially the old ladies!! Baba means old lady in Romanian. And this week I just went Baba crazy we talked to so many cute old ladies! ​​The people here are just amazing. They will literally give you the clothes off your back. My investigator actually did. She had a beautiful red dress and I made the mistake of complimenting it. She came to church on Sunday with the dress in hand and insisted that I keep it! This week I also had the opportunity to speak in church for the first time in Romanian! I chose to speak about joy! I was so amazing to be able to testify of the amazing joy that God has brought into my life! This week was full of miracles and I would never have time to write them all but just know that I am amazing and that God is blessing me in extraordinary ways every day!

Week 19- Tender mercies and miracles

This week was super amazing! I am loving life in Cluj. The people here are more relaxed and life in general is just most chill. The cool this about that is 1) they all talk slower which is nice for me haha 2) they are more open to talk to random girls they meet on the street about Jesus Christ. We have been able to meet some really open and awesome people in our time already here in Cluj. And have had some really good times! Some of the highlights have been: 

Our lesson with a cute girl named Stefania. We taught her the restoration in a cafe in Center. As we talked to her she told us that she felt that God had guided her life up to this point and that she wants to read the Book of Mormon. It was cool that as we talk her that loud, busy cafe became a holy place.

We met an awesome girl on the street named Roxana. At first she said she wasn't interested but we didn't give up. We started teaching the Restoration and the spirit came and she started to feel the truth of what we were saying. At the end of our conversation she even turned to her friend and said "Did you hear that? The one true church of God is here in Cluj!" 

Bringing groceries to a member who was in need and then finding out that all of the weird random stuff we had grabbed was exactly what she had been telling her husband that they needed. 

Having the direction of God as we talked to people on the streets and searched for less active members in our branch.

Beautiful weather both rain and sunshine! And lots of flowers!!

Basically life is just beautiful and I feel God so close to us helping us and guiding us. I know this church is true and I love this work with all my heart!

Week 18- Transferred to Cluj!!

Hello everyone!! This has been a crazy week! Friday morning I got a call that I was needed in Cluj and that I needed to leave within 4 hours! I packed my bags and said goodbye to everyone I could and flew across the country! I'm here in Cluj now and I am training the cute Sora Christensen! Her previous companion Sora Robinson got very sick and is in the hospital right now. She has need of all the prayers that she can get. Although I am sad for Sora Robinson I am so excited to start this work here in Cluj! I know that this is where God wants me to be and that He has big plans for this city! The city is beautiful and big but the people are wonderful and I can't wait to get to know them all! I have a testimony that God takes us as we are and works miracles through us. He can take our weaknesses and make them into strengths. He can take us, as small and simple as we are, and make something beautiful. I know that He does that with me here on my mission. I know He does that for the people of Romanian and I know that He can do that for you if you will love Him and put your trust in Him! I love you all so much! Thank you for your prayers and support! Va doresc o saptamana frumoasa!

Week 17- Happy Easter!

This week was super awesome! The weather has gotten so nice and warm and missionary work is even better than ever. It's been so warm here I have even stopped wearing tights. I keep getting weird looks though and lectures from old ladies about how I need to be careful and how I'm going to get sick. Haha people here are really careful about cold weather and staying warm. With spring here, there have been so many people outside and everyone is friendly and willing to talk. Especially this week with Easter everyone is thinking about the Savior and talking about Him. There is a greeting that people use around Easter instead of saying "Hello" on the street they say "Christ was resurrected" and in response you say "true he was resurrected". It is so awesome here how much people love Jesus Christ! This week has been great with our investigators and members! We have been working with Alexandra still and she is just doing amazing! She has such a strong testimony and is working and studying to have an even stronger relationship with Christ! I appreciate your prayers for her and for all the people in Brasov. I love these people so much and I love this gospel! I hope this week is amazing!

This week we got to go to Peles Castle with some sisters from another city and it was amazing!
