I hope everyone had a great week and a great Halloween!
This week flew by, literally no idea where it went haha. It was a good week with lots of learned lessons.
One of the biggest things I learned is to just enjoy the little things! Honestly, it's been really hard to find people and there were days when I got down about it, but looking back on the day I realized how great of a day it was and how much we accomplished, even if we didn't find anyone. For example, on Saturday we tried whiteboarding in our area. It's really only ever been done in City Center and not where I am. And it went super great! Every Saturday there's a cute little Tirgus (plaza) and so many families go to it so we set the whiteboard up and tried it! The Russian sisters came with us and brought flowers and we gave out flowers as well. We didn't find anyone, but we had many good conversations and made so many people smile! That's what made it so great! The next time those people come in contact with the missionaries they will remember the happiness! So always look for the little things, I promise they are there every single day! God is always looking out for us and we can see His hand every single day.
I also hit half way this week! How crazy is that?! Who knew time would go so fast? I'm so grateful to be here and I was grateful for the opportunity to look at the first half of my mission and set goals to grow even more.
On Halloween we went to a potentials house and ate with them and taught them the great gospel! They are the cutest family and is so fun to be able to see how many of the concerns were answered by the gospel. It really is for everyone!
Okay coolest thing. So about a month ago I called this guy from the areabook and he was like yeah I'm interested but call in November when I have time. So November first I called him haha and we had a lesson the next day and HE IS THE COOLEST. I'm so pumped for him. He's the best.
We also have a member who just had a baby and she doesn't like cooking so we went over this week and cooked a meal with her and it was so fun to just strength our relationship with her. It was so fun!
One verse that I read this week that I loved so much was from Jacob 2:8
8 And it supposeth me that they have come up hither to hear the pleasing word of God, yea, the word which healeth the wounded soul.
The Book of Mormon heals!! This week I was feeling frustrated and down and I turned to the Book of Mormon for help and immediately I found peace!! God has given us everything to find happiness and peace! One of those being the Book of Mormon!
The weather is getting colder and the sun is shining less haha! I think we only so the sun three times this week and it's starting to get darker earlier!!
Thank you for everything!! Have the best week!!
