nothing too spectacular happened this week. just did missionary work!
for this next transfer i'm staying with sora smith in Ploiesti, Romania and were going to work hard this transfer cause we got like 0 people that are progressing, but we got trust in the lord and were trying our best to improve how we do things so that we can help others come unto Christ! we got this suggestion from a member (who is like the bomb.com) how to contact more effectively she said that we should ask people straight up "hello, we have a message for you about god and we would love to share it with you" "if you have 5 min for god" *super savage imposing your will part right there* and then we thought of different ways we could take the conversation. and has actually works! and literally after we say the first part we just go off the spirit and open our mouths and something comes out! this week while working out i watched the sunrise. cause now the weather is getting chillier here and now we get up before the sun! so here's some Romania sunrise pics for ya'll!

so there is this lady in Brasov, shes basically like a mom figure here in Romania. she also reminds me of my aunt Karen as well! but anyways she came to Ploiesti to visit! it was so much fun! she arrived in the morning and we headed to the church and talked and read from the scriptures and i shared a little spiritual thought with her and then she gave us random food, like Oreo's and peanut butter and nuts. HA! then she took us out to lunch and we ate KFC! which is always a must here in Romania. and then we walked around center for a little bit and then she headed back to Brasov! it was such an awesome thing to be with her. shes actually an investigator. i taught her in Brasov, and she hasn't been able to be baptized this summer cause she gone every weekend to her house in the country side. la tara. she told me that she has a baptismal date in oct! literally jumped out of my seat i was so excited!!!!!!!! this week was full of contacting, and monika, and trying to decide on weather or not to bring a jacket with us the whole day or not. the weather is getting colder here! toamna vine! fall is coming! pics! our oreos that we got, plus we still got a bunch more! the lesson of enduring to the end for Monika and all my little examples ha! thanks to young women's and seminary. the best pizza here in ploiesti! the dumbest little bugs that are here and literally everywhere! xoxoxoxoxoxox
