Hey Everyone,
First off this week was super fun and jam packed. From meeting with people and organizing activities to traveling afar, to cooking for a nation.lol. jk. Man can't express how excited I am for the Holidays this time of the year. Hearing Xmas music down the streets and Centru has been awesome. Happy that it hasn't snowed yet here in Timisoara. Everywhere I guess it has just started to snow. So good everyone else. Loving the city here. This week were lucky enough to meet with Bianca who has been taking the lessons good but seems to be unsure about certain things. But we are striving and praying that everything goes smooth. One English student randomly came in and he has been coming to English Class for some time about over 3 years. I expressed to Razvan what we are doing here and asked him why did he want to learn more English. He said that his soul is meant to be in the states. Ok. lol. jk. But then we discussed about who we are in class talked about the Success Formula and tying it into how we can balance out the spirtual and temperol things in life. We got deep into talking about the gospel but short on time and had to head out. By the next day we recieved a text how he wants to be a member and wants to learn more. We only can just take it one step at a time and hope all for the best. A few of our investigators we had to drop and continue to find more. So this week we hope to find really cool investigators and hope they can be fully on board. But other than that we had a cool oppertunity to head down to ARAD for their talent show nite. We headed there with Bianca and her friend to show them more people around their age. It felt so weird being there. Seeing so many members and familiar faces was nice and funny at the same time. This time I was able to communicate with the members and understand. lol. It was so funny tho. That nite was a success with over 35 people. More than last year when we had a talent show nite. I have not seen that many people there when I first started there and with so many kids too. Crazy how much this branch has grown and improved from the last time I was there. So happy to be there. But came up with a last minute talent over there. Its' Electric'. The dance was funny happy to have the most of the people dance with me. The talents were funny but really liked how Moldovan a member there shared how we should not be afraid to share our talents and being an instrument in the Lords eyes. Seeing alot of the members there and catching up with most of them was a blessing. We had to head back and prepare for our Branch lunch which was alot to prepare but fun with the rush. My companion came up with the idea of doing something for our branch and we sure pulled through. They told me to make something excotic. Lol. Mango Otai and Lupulu. Happy to make it for them. Their reaction to trying the Otai was funny wished I had recorded it but they loved it tho. When it comes to food I love taking over and cooking it all. Thankful for my comp I just told him to relax and I got it. But overall grateful for this past week and excited to see whats in store this week. Hope everyone is doing good.
