About my companion and I!

Just as a side note to a few of you about my new companion and transfer. I got a message from the mission president that he wanted to send me somewhere else but the spirit was very strong in sending me to  Arad, and let me tell you here we have the dream team.  I was really struggling in bacau because I was the most obedient one there(sadly) which really was wearing me down but here the Elders are great and it has really made a difference.  As for my companion, well she is one of those people, actually the only person I have met (not counting family) that I feel I knew in the pre-existence. She is from Quebec Canada and speaks French as her native language. If you remember when I got my setting apart blessing I was told I would be a guidance to my companions from other countries.  I served with Sora Ruiz, I was a big guide for her.. and now serving with Sora Dupont was the last person to the fulfillment of that blessing.

About three years ago I had a dream that has come full circle. I dreamed that I was at my college apartment complex (Campus Plaza) and there is a raging fire behind it on the mountain. At the base of the mountain Dad is sitting there with a garden hose trying to stop the fire and he says to me "I can hold it off for a little while." I see the fire I run and I start knocking on apartment doors to warn them, most people don't believe me that this fire is coming and irritably shut there doors to me. Some look out their window and see it and try to gather their things instead of leaving. Those few who listen to me run out of the complex safe.  The rarest person of all was the person who would listen to me then help me warn others. Then there is a girl who comes up to me to my side and says, "it is easier if you have a companion." We turn and start knocking on doors together trying to get people out, When I told this dream to Sora Dupont one morning, I remembered the girl in the dream, and it was her. I have told all of my companions this dream, because I know why I am here but never had I have the spirit confirm to me that my companion was the girl in that dream. When I told Sora Dupont I felt this girl was her she teared up and she said, "I feel it to." How crazy is that, I dreamed about my companion 3 years ago before any of us knew we were going on a mission. 

I have seen all of these responses in the people I have met here in Romania. But this was just a little confirmation to me that I was in the right place at the right time with the right people.
