This week was really great! We have been spending a lot of time lately searching for returning members and contacting as we go. We had a really amazing experience as we were searching for a member the other day. We found the address and tried and no one was home so we asked one of the neighbors where the Fodea family lived and she pointed a couple of doors down. We went to the house that she showed us and rang the doorbell. We asked them if they were the Fodea family and they said yes so we started talking to them about why we were there and talked about their baptism in our church. They were super confused and asked if they could look at the certificate that we had. It turned out that their name was Fotea not Fodea and they were not the family that we were looking for. We then told them that we were there to share a message with them about Jesus Christ and they let us come in. We then we able to talk about the Restoration with one of the members of the family, Vali. She was really emotional as we spoke and told us several times that God sent us to her. It is always really amazing to me to see how Heavenly Father makes it possible for us to be where we need to be when we need to be there. Vali is just this one lady in all of Bucharest in a little house on a little street that we never would go to normally but He knew that she was in need and planned it perfectly for us to be there when we needed to be. We have seen a lot of experiences like that lately, of God leading us and guiding us even when we don't know it. One of the returning members we are working with is Mioara Fletcher. We were trying to find her one day and we couldn't get into her block. We realized that we needed God's help so we decided to pray. Right as we finished our prayer a little blind lady unlocked the door for us and let us in. We started talking to her and realized that she was Mioara! Since then we have had miracle after miracle with her and have seen how much Heavenly Father wants her back. She has been having some problems lately and it has been really hard to find a chance to sit and talk to her but she says that she wants to come back to church in a few months. We have continued trying to work with her and have started involving the active members. It will be really good for her in this hard time to know that she is still part of the branch and that the rest of the members want to be there for her. In general we have just been working as hard as we can and looking for those who are ready to come back or come for the first time to Jesus Christ. I think this might be a time that God wants us to work really hard and show Him that we recognize the little miracles and blessings. I know that He has great plans for these people.
