mission impossible

Hm ok yeah this week was a lot. Just a lot haha. By sunday night I think my mind was about ready to stop working. 

We've just been so busy and there has been SO MUCH for us to do everyday that my brain was slightly scattered.

-for various reasons, we have been all over the city this week... luckily that leads to random interactions with people on the street. Met Mr. 007 James Bond yesterday on our walk to church. While we were walking on this kinda boujee street, this random guy peels out in this super nice car and pulls up next to us. After explaining that he needed to urgently leave the country for an unknown reason, he asked us if we could bring his old man neighbor some food this week, because the man is old and can't go to the store himself. We were like, "umm sure" and then he just sped away lol

-visited our girl, Viorica. She has a baptism for later in February and this was the first time that we were able to visit her at her house. She lives outside the city in kinda the middle of nowhere and we had a nice chat with our taxi driver about the book of Mormon on the way to her house. She has such a strong faith and is so so sweet. She also took us around the little village she lives in and pretty much introduced us to the whole town! We found a lot of new people through her that way 

-we did a lot of member work this week. While only 4 ppl come to church, we actually have a decent amount of members in the area, they are just not very active. We visited camelia and it was a really cool experience. She doesn't have very much, and the room that she rents out is super super small with just a small couch and a cupboard with like half a loaf of bread. She told us that sometimes she goes days without eating, because she just doesn't have any money and it was like way sad. I was starting to say that life seems really hard for some people in romania, but every time I said that, she corrected me, saying that her life wasn't hard, and it was really beautiful, still. Despite her literally having nothing, she was still so optimistic and happy and thankful for the beautiful life that she has.

-we have access to instagram, google, and uber now on our phones! 

so excited to use these tools to further the work! 

Like I said at the start, this week was a lot, and I was just really hard on myself this week when things didn't go the way we planned, or didn't happen like I thought they would. And not gonna lie, I found it really hard to get up in the morning knowing that we had so much to do! It was just overwhelming! But this scripture has given me a lot of hope this week:

20 Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life

I have really had to press forward this past week and rely on my savior Jesus Christ! Through Him we are able to keep moving forward, one day at a time! 

Love u all:)))
