Happy Canada Day!

Hi Everyone!

It's been a busy week. We had our exchange with Craiova, zone training meeting, and our second Meet the Mormons event. And today we had a zone P-day, a barbecue to celebrate Canada day! (Though everyone else was deceived into thinking we had planned it for the 4th of July. Including Elder B.) We just played sports at the field at the Mihai Bravu chapel, had lots of meat and watermelon, then did some improv led by Elder Br. It was a good summer day.

I learned a lot this week, mostly by presenting in our zone training meeting. We got to organize the whole thing too. The assistants got to take a break and they didn't do a single thing. I finally have learned how to overcome discouragement. I cannot be needy for visible success or even perfection on my part to justify my worth as a missionary. Instead of fearing failure, I must desire to serve and act out of love. This week will be so good.

The Meet the Mormons showings (first in English, then Romanian) on Saturday didn't have a huge turnout, but it was alright. And several people were touched, so it had a quality outcome. In fact, N provided the sound system for us, then came with his wife to church on Sunday! It is so incredible that he is progressing. He has been less active for quite a while, and I really want to help him keep re-finding his faith.

I am happy and doing well. I really do love Romania, and the missionary lifestyle.

Have a great day!

Elder Lybbert
