perfection.










BUNA!  

Another week in the life here in beautiful Sibiu.

The weather was amazing this week🙌😁😊☀️ and basically all the snow melted! We have been going outside a lot which has been nice. Our new favorite thing to do is to go to a cute little cafe or restaurant and get some hot chocolate and then just sit for a couple hours and do our work. 

Rajiraj our friend from sri Lanka is doing well and we met with him a couple times this week and he came to church. The language barrier is slightly hard, but we got in contact with a missionary that speaks Tamil from India that we've been able to video call in.

Viorcia, is still on date for February 6 which is awesome and now her son who us 12 wants to be baptized too!!?! Yay we were really psyched. He'll probably be baptized in a couple more weeks because we still have to teach him a lot.

We have been doing a lot of work with the ward to try to reactivate members this week and set up our first ward council with our 2 active members! It actually went pretty well. We are still trying to build up good relationships with them, but it is coming. 

We had Mission Leadership council this week which was AMAZING. president Rucker talked a little bit about this verse in Matthew which says this:

48 "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."

Not gonna lie, this verse gave me some anxiety in the past... I mean, I feel like I try to do everything perfectly and have a standard for myself to do things perfectly and let me tell you I fall short every time! 
Butttt news flash... we aren't going to be perfect in this life, and if we expect ourselves to be perfect we are just gonna be disappointed all the time!! 
I do know though that as we rely on Christ and His atonement and His grace, we can be the best person we can be in this life. 

Don't be too hard on yourself! Just try your best:)) 
(Wow that sounds like a cheesy bumper sticker or something lol) but it's true.
