Blessings and Miracles
Hello Family and Friends!
Love you all so much and hope you had a great week! This week in my personal study I came across Revelations 3:20 and was reminded of just how great a scripture it is!! It says:
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and him with me."
I love that verse so much and the peace and comfort it brings into my life! That verse is one of the main reasons I am out here on a mission! I know Christ lives and I love Him with my whole heart! I am so grateful for the healing He has performed and continues to help me with in my life! I hope that I can share that love with the people here in Romania, so they too can feel the love, peace, and comfort that comes from letting Christ in, letting Him dwell in their hearts, and learning from His supreme example!
This week was really busy, as always, full of service, English lessons, member meals, and group lessons. On Thursday we had exchanges with Sora Jones & Sora Keller and it was so much fun! They are both amazing sister missionaries and I always learn so much from their testimonies and examples! It was a great blessing to me for them to be with us on Thursday!
We also ate at a member's house on Thursday and she fed us some super yummy food! The members here really know how to cook and I am very grateful for them! Also, this member's home was so beautiful! It looked like a temple waiting room with very light colors, beautiful chandeliers, and tons of light coming in! Her style reminded me of my Nana's style of home decor and it made me super happy!!(little remembrance from home!)
Also, I forgot to mention that on Monday we went to a city in the mountains called Busteni! They have a gondola ride you can take to the top of the mountain there but sadly it was closed so we just hiked around the bottom of the mountain! It was still super pretty and we were able to find a little waterfall! If we didn't have to be back home at a certain time I would have 100% hiked to the top of that mountain! Hopefully someday I can go back and do that because it was so pretty there! Also reminded me of home!
On Saturday, at games night, this girl came that the Elders invited and we immediately became friends!! It was fun having her there, and then she also came to church on Sunday for both hours!! After church, we talked with her and she wants to learn more, take lessons, and continue to come to church and to games night! She was a little miracle and blessing in my life this week! She is so sweet and I can't wait to get to know her better! She has a special light about her! I am so glad that while the Elders were at the candy shop where she works, they felt prompted to invite to her Church!
I love being a missionary so much! As I look back on the past 7 months, it is crazy to see how much I have learned and how much I have grown! I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true with my whole heart! It has changed my life for the better and brought so much more peace, comfort, light, and knowledge into my life!
Thank you to everyone who has supported me and who helps me everyday through their prayers! I can feel the positive affects of everyone's prayers in my life every single day! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
Love,
Sora Acton
