So same old same old! It's just another missionary week!
Haha because me and Elder B are staying together, for transfer day we
were actually able to get some stuff done on that day, which was nice.
Our two
investigators, Vasile and Costin, are still super cool. We had some pretty legit
lessons with them which was cool. Vasile is really sincere, and really good
about asking questions, so our lessons with him are great. For example, we
talked about the Plan of Salvation, and after we explained the first part, he
said, "Well, if we all lived with God before, why would we have chosen to
come down here? Wouldn't it be easier if we just stayed up there?"
Most
people don't ask those kinds of questions here, sadly. Many people here are
just really closed off and so it's usually pretty hard to get to those points
with them. That's why it's so cool to have an investigator like that.
Another
cool point of the week was that there was a less active member in the branch
who recently had a baby, and so the Branch president gave a baby blessing and
the missionaries participated, and it was really cool because the woman
realized how important the church is going to be in the life of her new baby;
she got up and bore a very short testimony on it and said how much she wants to
raise her baby right, how she hopes he will be a missionary someday. It was
really special. I've never seen a baby blessing out here so it was really cool
to see that.
We also had a little Halloween activity, not as big as I would
have liked it to have been, partially because the BP really doesn't like
Halloween so he wanted to support it as little as possible haha, but all things
considered it was really fun.
Me and Elder B are doing well together. We also found
out from President Ivory that we are going to have a couple of Christmas
concerts next transfer, and so me and Elder Brundage are now working to get the
one here in Ploiesti all planned out and stuff. So we're really excited.
Well, Love you all!
Stay safe, read your scriptures, don't do drugs.
Till next week!
