Couple of Changes

Hello Guys!!! 

It's interesting that change is something we all don't like, but is something we need. 

Being here really has opened my eyes change, there is always change, and once we get comfortable things change again!!!! Haha but just like the atonement, and repentance we need to change. It's part of the plan. 

This week has had a couple of changes. A couple of the wonderful people we have been working with have decided to stop meeting with us, or make choices that had caused some set backs. But Things are good here, there is always a reason for change, a good reason! 

We haven't been able to meet with Tammy lately. She has Been having some stress lately. We had a lesson scheduled with her and we were going to have President come with us, well she decided that she wasn't going to come down to the common area. We were pretty shocked, we had The President with us! My anxiety level rose a titch. President just turned and said well where else can we go! Oh snap... We had to think of something on the spot. 

      We ended up going to Melissa's she is an investigator who has many, many questions about the book if Mormon, it was funny as we met with her she was just honored to have him there. But Pres. Woodbury is so humble I think it's really cool to have him around. And he was a big help in the lesson. But he really just gave come of them same answers to her that we gave to Melissa the week before, (because she asks the same questions). 

We met with her Saturday also and it was a bible study with a couple of her friends. Oh .my .goodness. It's so hard to read when like every bible says something different haha. It's interesting when no matter how hard you try to testify and bring the spirit in, if the Person you are talking isn't really open to hearing or learning then they won't! Hahaha kind of obvious but sad at the same time. It's so true about agency and us having the power to choose to accept. It's so powerful to see the happiness that comes when people choose to accept. 

We got to teach Denisa she week. She is getting ready to move to Romania! But we don't think she every really understood the point of the restoration, because she has been going to this other church and when we ask about church she says, "I am going with my parent in laws!" Haha. So this week we wanted to do something that would help her see a little most clearly. We showed her a video!! It's called "the church at a glance" it shows the family, temples, helping hands, tithing, people from all over the world. And she loved it! Her husband died about three months ago and she really loved when they talked about temples. 

Ah!!! It was so cool! She really wants to get baptized and sealed to her husband, as we were talking about it she was like "I feel peace as we talk about this" we were able to testify to her that that peace she was feeling, was the Holy Ghost telling her that this is true. 

We then went of the maps and looked for the nearest temple and meeting house near her in Romania. She was so excited, just loving life. 

Something so cool was she was like, "You need more of you guys out there!" Because the church is really small in Romania. It was a great experience to see that when we are touched by the spirit we truly want more people to know about it. 

Something is think I learned this week, was the power we are given when we choose to work, be happy and choosing the right. It's really the our decision what path we will be on, but we can't decide the destination where we will end up. No matter what kind of changes we may experience in life, when we choose the right. We won't be lead astray. 

I am so thankful for the gospel, the people I have met here and the experiences I have been given to learn more about my Father in Heaven. 

Guys I love you so much, thank you for everything. 

I hope you have a good week!! 

Love, Sister. Tincher
