This week has been really awesome and we have seen a lot of answers to prayers. Specifically in those who came to church on Sunday. This week Sora Peterson has prayed in every prayer that we will have many people come to church. It was amazing to see her prayer directly answered as God blessed us with members and nonmembers that came to church. The nonmembers that came were also miracles! One of them is a young man named Gabriel. He was received as a referral and we went to his house and gave him a Book of Mormon and then asked him to come to church. At church we started talking a little more and he let us know that he really wants to know if this is the truth and if this is God's path. He said "I'm assuming that I'll need to read the Book and then ask God if it is true." He has a lot of faith and has been searching a lot in his life. We are super excited to start working with him! Another is named Horia. We met him on the street a few days ago and although he seemed interested he didn't want to change numbers or to meet up. But to our surprise just after the opening prayer he came in to sacrament meeting. He had a lot of questions about the Book of Mormon and wants to meet up to discuss more. The members showed so much love and fellow-shipped them both. As Gabriel was leaving Darius bore powerful testimony of the Book of Mormon and what it means in his own life. It was amazing! The members have all been working hard to do missionary work and to support us. We had an amazing member present this week with the one and only Sora Handabuti and I think it made a big difference for Malina. She is doing really great and is still praying to know if the Church is true and if this is her path. She said that she has to make more time to study and to pray and says that she will come to church next week. She says that she wants what we have and that although the doctrines are important that she wants to feel it. We then had the opportunity to testify of the Gift of the Holy Ghost and that she could have what we have. She is overall doing very well and progressing great. We also had the chance this week to go back to Bogdana's house. We responded to a prompting and we went and visited them this week. We talked about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and it was amazing to see all that they had remembered from what we had taught. Especially little Raluca was testifying and making comparisons with acting before knowing and tasting of the fruit. It was beautiful. She also said that she knows God talks to us because she feels a warmth when she prays. (Which she does every day by herself) She really understands the Gospel. She has turned eight now and said she wants to be baptized but we want to keep working with her parents first. We have been continuing to work hard and having been seeing miracles. Including meeting someone in the park who said they want to be baptized, seeing one of our old people we worked with who said she wants to meet again, and meeting amazing people every day who are prepared for this message. Sora Peterson is an amazing missionary and a great companion. Thanks for your prayers and love!
