No rain, no gain

Bună Ziua!

It's been raining a lot this week. But it has been good. I am starting to make memories in this city and the more of those I get the more I will love Braşov.

We were able to go with the sisters to go teach the 4 boys again this week, and it was a good experience. We had planned to share the lesson, with us teaching about prophets and the sisters teaching the word of wisdom. Only 2 of the boys were there, but we started the lesson with those two. But as we taught about prophets, the sisters ended up having their own lesson with the recently baptized grandma. So we ended up having two independent lessons happening in the same room at the same time! But it was great.

We also had exchanges with the zone leaders this week. I finally got some official district leader training from Elder C, after I feel I have figured most things out the hard way already. But it was good, and I enjoy the opportunity to serve now. I really want to help this district, and this branch. We have some great members, especially in the case of our branch mission leader. He is incredible! So on top of things, and he helps me out so much, when I brought up the idea of bringing members to help with the spiritual thought after English, he went and started assigning members and organizing the whole thing!

Then on Saturday I had a good experience. The weather was terrible, and we went out contacting for a while, but I really wasn't into it. After one awkward contact in which neither of us could hear each other because of the wind and traffic, I just didn't have the mental energy to talk to people. We took a short break, then looped around towards home, but the streets were pretty bare and no one who was outside wanted to talk to us. But I really wanted to have a conversation with someone, to make the session worth it. So when we were almost home, we took an extra loop around centru for 10 minutes, and that is when Elder B contacted someone and we got a potential investigator! It always seems to happen like that. And then, once we were home, we set up a lesson with former investigator! I think things are starting to look up.

Thank you as always for reading!
