Everything is going quite well here in Moldova. Some days its very
hot, then it rains, then its not so hot, then it gets hot again. Weather
is just a freak of nature. Anyway, my comp and I have been trying to
meet with some more less active members, which
is quite fun. We travel a lot more, so we get to see more of the city.
Chisinau is pretty large for its population, and very spread out. So if
we try and contact on center on the main street, most people know who we
are.But it is fun to go to the outskirts
and talk to somebody who has never met a missionary, or an American.
Every single time they ask how I like Moldova, and I always assure them
that it's very good.
This week we met this older Bunica and she had her 2
grandchildren with her. We met with them and
it went well so we will meet again. She lives super close to us, just
one block bldg away. The next day we were outside coming home, and we
saw her with all her friends. We proceeded to talk to them, and they
asked me if I liked the girls here. That is a very
normal question because I'm a young American boy, and they take a little
pride in their girls. But after that the asked me about having multiple
wives, due to the fact we are Mormons and they saw a film about it. A
very normal convo. But then one of the Bunicas
said that we should bring home multiple moldovans for wives. I laughed
it off, but I really do think she was serious. Anyway just another
normal convo in Moldova.
As for a spiritual thought, I love the fact that nothing is
impossible with God, and that He will be the same yesterday, today and
forever. For some reason it hit me hard this week that if this Church is
the true Church, then why wouldn't there be heavenly
visitations? Why wouldn't there be golden plates? Why wouldn't we have a
leader of the church who communes with God? Thats the way it was in the
Bible, why wouldn't it be that way now. This is something I have known,
but really it just made more sense to me this
week. Anyway, nothing is more powerful and great then the fact that
Jesus Christ can help us overcome anything. This is the greatest miracle
of all. My cousin Riley reminded me of that this week. Cheribums are
cool and all, but the fact that Jesus suffered
and died so that we can become better, become PERFECT is absolutely
remarkable. I love Jesus Christ with all my heart, and can say without a
doubt that He is the reason for hope and happiness in my life.
Va iubim pe voi
