Week 24- Miracles and Cluj Days
This was an amazing week! I have been thinking a lot about God's elect and about how they are here in Cluj just looking for this message. They are all around us and it is our job to listen as God directs us where to find them. This week we were out finding a less active member and we hadn't had any success. We had gotten lost several times and when we finally found the street, the block wasn't there. I was feeling bad that we had wasted time but then I realized that we were trying our best to do God's work and that we hadn't given up. I told Sora Christensen that even if we couldn't see it that God had been and still was guiding us. In that moment, we were walking past a house and we saw a family. We got a very strong prompting that we needed to talk to them so we turned around and started sharing our message. We ended up sharing a Book of Mormon with them and have since been back to visit them again. I know that if we hadn't been there at that time we would have missed that opportunity and that if I had continued focusing on the bad and not having trust in God we might have missed that spiritual prompting. This was such an important lesson to me and I am so so grateful that we didn't turn back and that we were blessed to meet this family.
Some of our other blessings this week were also incredible miracles. We were able to contact an investigator after more than a week of not hearing from her and she said she wants to keep meeting with us. We also had several amazing miracles as we talked to people on the streets. We met one girl yesterday who was so excited to see us. She told us that her friend had told her about us and that she wanted to meet us and talk to us. Every day we have so many miracles and experiences.
One scripture that I have been thinking about lately is D&C 42:49-51 "He who hath the faith to see shall see. He who hath the faith to hear shall hear. The lame who hath the faith to leap shall leap." I have the faith that we can all leap through the help of Christ! God is helping us so much and nothing is impossible for Him. Thank you for your love and support!

Week 23- Happy Mother's Day!!
This week was so amazing and such a testimony builder. We had a point this week when we were trying to find people and no one was listening. We had also had a few lessons that had fallen through and some other things come up and I just prayed and told Heavenly Father that I knew that He was there and that this is His work and that we needed His help. From that point on miracles starting happening we were able to meet a lot of really awesome people who had been prepared and were able to set up with a lot of our other investigators. It was a small miracle, but a miracle nonetheless. I know that just when we feel like we can't go on any longer that if we keep moving forward with faith, Heavenly Father will bless us. We can always know that if our will is aligned with God's all things will come together for our good. That was true for me this week and I know that it is true for you. Labor with God and He will labor with you! I know that He is there and that He hears your prayers and that He loves you! I hope that you all have an amazing week and that you see the miracles that happen in your lives, big and small!

Week 22- Ramona a fost botezata!!
Buna prietenii mei! This week was amazing! As always we had many miracles! But the greatest miracle of all was our investigator Ramona got baptized on Saturday! She is the most amazing girl ever and was so prepared. After her baptism she said to us that she felt like she was flying. She is so enthusiastic to share the gospel and is going to be the best member ever! Other than that we have continued to meet people and work with our investigators. We taught Roxana and talked about baptism again. She said that she didn't really understand why it was important but we gave her a chapter to read in the Book of Mormon and we know that as she prays and reads she'll come to understand the importance. Something cool that she told us is that she has been going home after our lessons and telling her grandmother everything we teach her. She said that her grandma is interested and even sneeks into her room at night to read the Book of Mormon. We haven't been able to meet with her grandma yet but we are wanting to meet with them together! We had a lot of really cool experiences on the street and just in being where we need to be exactly when we need to be there. There are so many people prepared for our message here! I know that God loves His children here so much and that He has great plans for them! I love being a missionary and I love being here in Romania!! I love you all and hope you have a great week!!
