Wow this week was awesome! Other than the fact that we had General Conference which is always AWESOME (ESPECIALLY THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE TEMPLE IN HUGARY !!!! ) We also had Zone Conference which always pumps me up!! We also had some amazing lessons and some really great miracles. We have some people that are really prepared and very willing to keep commitments and are trying with all their hearts to come unto Christ. First of all we have really focused this week on meaningful follow-up every day with everyone we are meeting with and it has been so cool to give them a chance to testify of the experiences they have had. It really makes such a difference! We are working with a sweet girl named Izabela and daily contact has really encouraged her to pray and read everyday. She had never prayed before meeting us but now she is reading and praying every night and testified to us (over the phone !) that since she has been doing this that she has recieved joy and peace from God! Our focus on meaningful contact also made it possible for our friends to participate in General Conference. It was a blessing for so many of them! One of our really big miracles this week was with the sweet Sandu family. Sora Sandu works at the bus station in Sacele and has seen us coming and going for a while and she approached us and asked us when we could visit her! We got to go over on Saturday and had the most amazing lesson ever! The Spirit testified powerfully as we related the First Vision and testified of the power of the Book of Mormon. By the end of the lesson Sora Sandu had invited herself and her family to General Conference in that same evening and told us of several other families that she thought we should go to! She also said the closing prayer and asked to know if this was the true path of God. They are such a sweet family and we are so excited by their progress already! We are also super pumped about our sweet family from Tarlungeni. Sora Meze and her kids are so sweet and humble and really have been prepared for the Gospel. We went and visited them this week and were so happy. Sora Meze doesn't know how to read but her sister knows a little and together they read from the Book of Mormon. We taught about the Restoration of the Gospel in our visit and as we testified aboout Joseph Smith, she started to cry. Her phone isn't great and it is hard to stay in contact with her but she really wants to come to church with her family and to recieve those blessings. Ionela and Adi are still waiting for a clear answer. They are separated for the time being and don't want to be married. Ionela is searching with her whole heart and really wants to be baptized still. She came to General Conference and even recognized an answer that she recieved while there. We will continue to pray for her and for Adi and his family. We have continued to work with Ramona and the Olea family also. Over all we have been so blessed and can't say enough prayers of gratitude for all the ways God is blessing us. He is really speeding His work here. Some things we have done that have helped us are: promising blessings, believing that God is guiding EVERY little thing, specific prayers, follow-up and encouragement. I know that God sees our little efforts and makes them great! Have a great week!
