a bbq without a BBQ

still in sibiu:)))).... but I am headed on a train to buchurest this afternoon to meet with my little new trainee and we'll be headed out to pitesti. 

I'm slightly nervous about whitewashing a new area with a newbie, but it'll definitely be a good learning experience.

But let's get down to what happened in my last week in the prettiest city in Romania-

-last time meeting with our 14 year old member maria and making pizza and crepes with her. We talked to her about kicking up her instagram a bit, she has been reposting good uplifting content ever since we talked with her about it. Let's use our platforms to spread light!!

-did another service project at a 200 year old house. We are helping with the renovations and still have a loooonng way to go. One of our members came to help us out and it was fun to get to talk to her for a bit.

-Alexandra is praying about a baptism date!!! I'm sad that I wont be here, to finish up the rest of lessons with her, but I'm so excited to see how she progresses from afar. 

-had a ward BBQ (kind of). We planned a ward get together earlier this week and our branch president bought us all the Romanian bbq essentials (meat, a loaf of bread, chips, and pepsi) and then told us that he and his wife actually wouldn't be able to make. The elders (who were going to grill the meat at the bbq) got put into quarantine right before the event, so we were left without anyone to actually bbq at the bbq. I'm sure we would have done a stellar job, but sora sorensen and I made the executive decision to forgo that aspect. 2 people ended up showing up and it was a decently good time as we ate the bread and chips that we had. 

GOD LOVES US AND ALWAYS WILL LOVE US. we come as we are, but we shouldn't expect to leave as we are. He is proud of us and all that we have accomplished thus far in our lives, but he is not satisfied yet. We still have lots of work to do!! Let's keep refining and changing ourselves everyday to be more like our savior Jesus Christ. 

What's something small that you can change this week?:)

Talk to you next week!
