This week has been really amazing! We have been really busy and have been seeing tons of miracles! We were able to meet with the family that we met on the street and had a beautiful lesson with them. They already have a lot of faith in Christ and they readily accepted the Book of Mormon and want to start coming to church every week! The wife is named Mihaela and the husband Florin and they have a little three year old named Denis. They have such love in their family and are anxious to learn more. We have continued working with Gabriel and he is progressing really well! He keeps talking about when he is baptized what kind of member he will be. He said that he will try to do missionary work and share what he believes with those around him. He has been reading the Book of Mormon and says that it is familiar, like something he has heard before and thinks that he is recognizing God's voice in it! We have also been working with Lorena over skype and had a great lesson with her about the Gospel of Jesus Christ with Sora Iepure as a member present. It was a really cool lesson and Sora Iepure was able to testify of all the ways the Holy Ghost has changed her life. We have also been working with a new person for our English class. His name is Liviu and he is so cool! He has started reading the Book of Mormon and is super pumped about it! He's read to chapter 16 and if you ask him a question about what he's reading he proceeds to give a play by play of the entire book up to that point. He has been coming to church and loves it! He is just genuinely so excited about the Gospel and loves being a part of it. He said "I know that I have only been coming here for a few weeks but it has already changed me". We have also been working with a cute girl named Ana. She is really religious in the orthodox faith but has been praying and reading the Book of Mormon and really likes it. We want to help her understand the importance of the authority and how important the priesthood power is. We have also been trying to fill up our schedule visiting members and helping them invite their friends to participate in the Light the World program. We have really been seeing God's hand working in the lives of the members here. We went and sang at a nursing home this week and it was the most amazing thing ever seeing all of the members united together in love and faith. In my time here I have seen these people grow in faith and love and desire to serve God. With transfers coming up next week I have just been so grateful that I have been able to serve here and (as you all know) I would gladly stay here for two more transfers! But I also know that God will take me where I am needed. Have a great week!
