member madness

Where did the week go?!?!! This week went by way fast and I honestly don't even know why! 

We had zone conference this week which was a real highlight and as always, amazing. We recently kinda switched up the way we do zone conferences, but zone conferences are online with the whole mission now. It's really fun because we usually don't get to interact with the missionaries on the Hungary side of the mission very often, but it is nice that we do our zone conferences once a transfer all together as a mission.

I probably sound like a broken record, but this week again we really focused on member work and working with our members because it is so so important! Especially since the ward is running on only a couple active members! 

Maria and Cosmin are the future of the branch here and we have been trying really hard to keep them active and coming to church, especially since they are the only members in their fam. We made pizza and crepes at the church with Maria earlier this week and meet at a park and play basketball with Cosmin at 7:00 in the morning for our sport hour. Considering basketball is really not one of our strong suits, it's a pretty fun time lol.

Had a nice chat with our branch president's wife in which we were able to start to mend the kind of broken member/missionary relationship in this branch and I am so happy about it, because it has honestly been something stressing me out since I arrived here in Sibiu! Member work is so important! 

For a couple reasons we changed Viorica and her son's baptismal date for the end of February, but other than that they are still doing good

For those of you who have been keeping up with Kardashians, we finally figured out the situation with the mission impossible guy from a couple weeks ago. Apparently he knew on of the other missionaries previously, so when he was leaving the country urgently a couple weeks ago and saw us with our name tags walking down the street, he thought he'd stop and ask him to help his old man neighbor out. We went 2 weeks ago, with some bread, but he didn't answer, so we tried again this week and came back with more bread. This time he answered but then proceeded to tell us he didn't have any teeth and couldn't eat the bread we brought him. We came back with some yogurt and hope it tides him over.

Ok sorry this was so long, but this week was just so good. Obviously filled with some lows, but some very good highs. 

God loves us.

He's there for us. 

Have a great week:)
