Hello family!!!!
Well it’s been another week already!
This week was sooo busy and a lot
of things happened. Actually looking
back this might have been the
most productive week!! We had a total
of 5 lessons and met a lot of
new people.
So first off on Tuesday we had
English class as always. Pretty
normal. Like I said before half of
the class is really old and the
other half is really awesome young
students. ha It’s funny to watch
them react together and try to learn
English. Oh but I forgot, so
Monday morning we went to a less
active members house and it was
awesome. His name is Francis and I
actually visited him with Elder
Rassmussen my 2nd day in this country.
Anyways, he is the coolest guy ever
and the best way to describe him is
he is a MAN! haha He has the
craziest background and has turned
his life all the way around. He used
to be in a gang and was in jail in
Austria for a long time. He has
scars all over his body and is really
scary but is one of the nicest
people I know. ha We gave him a visit
and shared a little message. He’s
going through a rough time because
his mom just passed away a few
weeks ago.
Then on Wednesday we went less active
finding again. We are tryng to
visit as many as we can to see if
they are still living in Bucuresti
and the reason for why they aren’t
going to church. Most of the time,
nobody lives at the address we have
but it’s fun because we get to ask
the neighbors which usually strikes
up a conversation. That evening we
had a 30/30 lesson with Levent, this
guy who knows all of the
missionaries, goes to every activity,
and has been around for about 4
years. The missionaries have met with
him so many times that instead
of teaching him a lesson, we
basically had a discussion on why he is
not getting baptized. We were really
straight forward with him and it
went well so we hope that made him
think more and realize the
importance of getting baptized.
Thursday we went on another exchange,
this time in Pitesti. Just like
last exchange, it poured all day. I
was with Elder Witiker who is in
his 3rd transfer. It was fun to be
with someone really young in the
mission for a little bit and work
with him. We mostly did some family
history contacting which works pretty
well.
Friday we traveled back to Bucharesti
in the morning and went straight to
District meeting. I was dead tired
because the trains destroy me but
the meeting was great! Our district
is getting better and better and
we are working very well as a group.
That evening we had a first
lesson with a guy named Romus which
went so well. He’s probably about
45 years old and is really
interested. He took a Book of Mormon and
said he would read the whole thing
and pray about it. We can’t meet
with him for a few weeks because he’s
going out of town but we are
excited for him.
Saturday we had a lesson with a guy
named Marius. Get this, we got
him as a referral straight from President
Hill himself. haha He met him
at a Mongolian restaurant an got his
number. ha so legit. And this guy
is amazing. He’s super smart, super
nice and want to ask a lot of
questions. It was great and the
lesson was perfect. After the lesson
we had English. Elder Hokkanen
and I did a watered down version of
the restoration for our spiritual
thought. It went ok, we think it
might have been a little too much for
a spiritual though but it wasn't
bad. People definitely had questions.
haha We contacted the rest of
the day and then had to do some busy
work for the zone.
Sunday was district
conference!!!!That meant that all the members who
could came down. It was awesome and
really cool so see so many members
together. I actually missed half of
the meeting because I had to be
one of the guards at the church gate.
There was some rumor going on
that a group was going to "
crash the mormon party that they are going
to have on Sunday". Yeah nothing
happened. I was ready though. There
was a kid on his bike who stopped and
took a picture of the church.
Elder Mcallister and I we ready to
fight. ha The second half was good
and and an area seventy came and
talked. It was overall a really good
conference.
That’s it for this week. Love you all
and miss you tons. Don’t have to
much fun without me! ha Have a great
week!
Elder Mayans
Mom- hey! I don’t know exactly when I’m
calling but its not for another
few weeks. I know that I’m allowed to
skype or call and it doesn’t have
to be exactly on mothers day. Could
be any time around it. Love you!
