Happy Thanksgiving! Woke up
this morning with frost
This past week we did some exchanges
with the District leader. I went with elder L again, so it was
pretty fun. He is the second counselor for the branch here, so sometimes
they have a lot of busy work they need to do. We had to go to the church
and stay there while an inspector came to check on our building's gas.
Well turns out there was a problem, so he had to shut the gas off. Later
on in the exchange we had a lesson with one of the investigators. It
was pretty fun. We talked a lot about prayer and Elder L and I kinda
just flowed together so it was cool. It was also nice to have that lesson
cause of what happened through out the week. We tried setting up about
5-6 lessons this past week, and we got "bunged"(they didn't show up)
every single one of them! So I'm glad we got to teach during the
exchange.
So fun story. The beginning of
my time here in Sibiu there was a solid 4-5 members coming to church every
week. With missionaries that makes about 11 at church every week.
Well for the past four weeks of this transfer we have had a minimum of like 19
and a max of 26! The church is getting stronger here and it is awesome to
see! Well President has been keeping track and was very happy. So
he told us to go out to lunch and to keep the receipt and he would pay for
it! So he basically "took us out to lunch" because he is super
happy with Sibiu. Now I am not telling this to be like "wow look we
did, we are awesome!" Just to show you that your prayers and fasts
on the behalf of the people here specifically in Sibiu are being
answered. Thanks for helping us from all the way over there!
This past Sunday president C found out he had to leave out of town like 2 or 3 days
before Sunday. So Presiding fell onto the other two elders. They
asked elder W and I if we could give talks and so that is what we did
Sunday. Also we had two of our English students come to church! They
have stayed for all of our spiritual thoughts after English but for some reason
no one has invited them to church yet! I kinda thought it would be the
sisters cause they are both girls. So this past Saturday I was just like
hey we will see you tomorrow right? And then basically just invited them
and they were both excited to come! So it made us all really happy to see
them there. I hope that they can start doing lessons with the sisters!
Saturday morning... we ran out of
milk.... ALL of our breakfasts rely on milk! We had to rush outside to our friendlyneighborhood mini market and get some milk. There is always
this really nice little lady that works there and is always so happy to talk
with us. I always try to find excuses to go over to that store cause they
recognize us and we have friends over there. Don't really know why I told
you this.... Oh well.
Well today we have a pretty busy day
a head of us. We are
Well that is about it for this
week. It is weird to think that I'll be back here in like 4 days writing
about the days again. Might be a bit shorter. I love you all so
much. Hope you have a great Ziua Recunostintei! Eat a lot!!
