Inspired Contacting September 8, 2014

Seriously, waaaaaay crazy!! I don't have much time but this week was full of contacting the most interesting people.  One lady we were walking past was looking at a wet part of the street very concerned so I said hello to her to see if we could help.   She had very bad vision and she wasn't sure if the wet road was a hole or a deep puddle of water or a very small amount of wet road.  We told her it was safe to walk on and she was very happy.  She talked with us for a long time and at the end of our conversation really wanted to meet up with us again.  She told us we were her angels and that she could see our light and it was beautiful.  I liked that a lot!!!! Earlier in the mission I got a blessing when I was going through a hard week.  I had been wondering to myself way in the world was I sent to Romania.and in the blessing I was told that I was sent here to Romania because I was a light and that people would see this light and be drawn to it. Then on the street this week I run into a half blind lady who can see the light that we as missionaries hold. I have so much hope for the people of Romania! 

We were also walking home one day and my companion Sora Ralls said,"I feel like we should contact this family." So we circled back and contacted them. It was a crazy windy day and it was really kind of hard to hear him speak. He also poured us a glass of home made cherry alcohol and we had to decline. The grandfather was so excited we were there and he said that he had a Book of Mormon and had already read 100 pages of it.  He told us he thought it was a beautiful story and nothing more. We asked if he had prayed about the book to know if it was true and he said, no of course not. So we shared Moroni 10:5 with him and invited him to pray about it. As he was reading the scripture the wind stopped. And everyone focused on the words.  I felt the spirit so strong and I knew that we were suppose to be there at that time to contact this man and his family. We left the family and we will be following up sometime this week.  It was so cool to know that small action of knocking on his door and inviting him to pray was a really important moment in someones life.  I know that for a fact because I felt it when we read that scripture.  The church is so true! The principles it abides by are pure, simple, and the way to true and exquisite happiness. All it takes a little guidance, or a little bit of faith to know whether or not it is true. And I know it to be true with all of my heart.  There would be no purpose of my being in Romania if that was not true. I love you all! I hope you are all safe this week! And I give you the challenge to tell somebody something about the church. 

Heart,
