This week has been really good for us I will try and keep this short and brief. One of the many miracles we have seen is having on of our investigators accepting the invitation to be baptized later on this month. Her name is Mariana who lives in the countryside of Pitesti. Nice, humble lady who sent to us through a referral and for which we were able to follow-up with. She met with sister missionaries in France and then referred later on to us. She came to church 2 weeks ago and we asked her if we meet up with her anytime that week. Our first lesson with her went very well. Just getting to know her and her family allowed us to share pictures of our own. From there we transition to teaching the Restoration to her. She explained to us how she always wanted to know for herself which church is true. Going through the lesson we knew their was great emphasis just like Joseph Smith asking the same question that Mariana had told us. When Joseph Smith knealt down to pray in the grove and there appeared two personages.
"... I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me. It no sooner appeared than I found myself deliveredfrom the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other--This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!" -JS'History 1:16-17
Just reading his experience, Mariana paused and looked at us saying that she got the goosebumps just hearing it and talking about the Restoration. We bore testimony to her saying that this Church is true and the lord has a plan for all of us if we are willing to accept it. My comp extended the invitation and she accepted it. So we look forward to meeting with her regularly and preparing her along the way. Other than that we are finishing up English Class and transfers is coming to an end. We shall see. Alrite then yall have a good one. Keep yourself busy in the lords work.
