two simple girls who love god

Yay for a good week! Wow time flies. 

I've just been living up my last 2 weeks in sibiu. (My new trainee has to quarantine in hungary for these next 2 weeks, so I wont be leaving sora Sorensen and sibiu until she gets here).

We had a major snow storm earlier this week and ngl I was kinda done with the weather, but the real answer to my prayers was that all the snow basically ended up melting the next day.

Friends update: 
Finally met with Cosmina face to face at the church. We gave her a church tour which went pretty well. She offered to give us a tour of her church down the street after we finished (we didn't even know she was going to another church, so that was kind of a surprise). 

Alexandra is still the cutest and we have 2-3 lessons with her every week. She is progressing so well!! The only problem is she lives about 3 hours outside of sibiu, and we are the closest branch to her (our area is kind of massive) we're just going to cross that bridge when we come to it.

DENISA. GOLDEN. literally already a member with the strongest testimony. She also lives with her husband and 2 daughters a little outside of town, and it is sometimes hard for them to get to church, but I played the "I got transferred and am leaving soon card" to make sure they came to church this week. I was kinda disappointed when they didn't show up until the last 2 minutes when they rolled in! Yay we talked for about an hour afterwards. 

We also had a service project this week which was way fun. Us and the Elders worked in this 200 year old abandoned house, that they are working to renovate and make a museum. We shoveled a caved-in floor and scraped off paint from the walls, and it was overall a good time. 

One of my favorite talks at conference this past week was presidents Nelson's talk about faith. He talked about some members in the Pacific Islands who were preparing for a large event outside, and the weather was horrible and wouldn't stop raining. Members fasted and prayed so that the rain would stop and in some of the islands It did, they had to have faith that the rain would stop. One of the islands the rain did not stop. They had to have faith to endure the rain even when it wasnt stopping. Sometimes we dont also get what we want and have to have faith to endure our trials until the blessings come.

Have faith and hope you have a great week!
