This week was even better than last week!
We got 7 new investigators in 7 days! We taught more than double the amount of lessons than we
did last week too. We've been walking and riding our bikes almost everywhere
and have been staying on top of everything.
My favorite thing that happened this week was on Saturday we went to an Eritrean Orthodox Church service. We were by far the whitest people in there, but everyone else was wearing all white and we were in a whole bunch of other classes. We covered our hair with some scarves we found randomly in our apartment. The service was all in Eritrean and very different to what I'm used to, but we're glad we went! Then on Sunday we enjoyed a beautiful Romanian dinner!
This week I gave the lesson in Sunday's such on service. In Luke 9:24 it says "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.” A quote from Thomas S. Monson in references to this scripture he says “I believe the Savior is telling us that unless we lose ourselves in service to others, there is little purpose to our own lives. Those who live only for themselves eventually shrivel up and … lose their lives, while
those who lose themselves in service to others grow and flourish—and in effect save their lives.” There are so many ways to serve – big, small, and everything in between. The more
