Miracle Upon Miracle
Hello everyone!!😍😍
I love being a missionary!! Honestly life is just so amazing right now! I have so much to be grateful for, I see so many miracles throughout my week and I am surrounded by the most amazing people! The Church is true and God is so good!
We spent a lot of time this week preparing our friend Marilena for baptism. One thing that was really hard for her was to commit to being a full tithe payer because money is really tight for her and she barely has enough to pay for all her bills. We had several discussions about it throughout the week and decided that for our last lesson 2 days before her baptism we would bring a member with us to help explain more the importance of tithing. After talking for a while she expressed that she would only be able to pay half, she wouldn't be able to be a full tithe payer. We were very sad but explained to her that she would not be able to be baptized if she didn't commit to being a full tithe payer. Her friend Florin was in the room as we were explaining this. Now, about a month ago, Florin was super against tithing and other aspects from the lessons that were taught but during this lesson he turned to Marilena and said, "I know that being baptized is something super important to you! You pay your tithing and if you still need help, I can help you!!!" Then at the end of the lesson he also told us that after some surgeries he has to have, he also wants to get baptized!! It was such a cool lesson filled with so many miracles!😊
Saturday was such a great day with the baptism and then games night afterwards!! While at games night, a huge thunderstorm came through and dumped rain like an Arizona Monsoon! It was so much fun! We continued to play sports in the rain and it honestly made my whole week! I love the rain!! It was very therapeutic for me! Haha
Also, on Saturday we got our transfer calls and I get to stay in Bucharest for another transfer! And my new companion will be Sora Keller, who was also trained by Sora Saunders, so that's super cool! I am looking forward to this next transfer! It will be so much fun with so many friends close by, including Sora Robinson who will be in my same Zone again!! (I am super pumped to be close to her again and that I get to be her STL)
I will really miss Sora Pachev though! I have learned so much from her work ethic, her drive, and her testimony! She is an amazing missionary and I am very grateful for the time we had to work together!
Honestly, like I said at the beginning, I feel so blessed and am beyond grateful for all the many blessings in my life!! Blessings in all forms; people and experiences!
Thank you again for all your prayers! I draw so much strength each week from them!😍Love you all and have a great week!
