Buna Ziua!
I am going to be transferred on Wednesday. I don't feel ready to leave Constanta, but I know that is where I need to be and that is where the Lord can use me the best. I am excited for my new companion, new experiences, and plenty of new opportunities to become what the Lord wants me to be. I am going to be going to Arad. It is on the complete other side of the country. Basically as far away from Constanta as I can get. I am so excited to go. I hear it is absolutely beautiful, a different pace of life, and a strong branch.
This week was good. It was slow, but full of tender mercies. We have a new investigator. She was a referral from a member. She has been to church and we started teaching her the lessons. I can't tell you how much we love referrals as missionaries and how much easier it is for them to ask questions and to see how the gospel truly works in our lives. Sora Cottam and I were listening to an old conference talk this past week by Elder Bednar where he said that "missionaries are full-time teachers, but members are full-time finders." As I have been here I have realized how important and what a powerful role we play as members of the church to share the gospel with those around us. We don't have to do something drastic, but simple invitations to ward activities, an invitation to church, an invitation to read the Book of Mormon, and most importantly living what we believe and not being afraid to share it.
I love you all. I am strengthened by all of your examples.
Love
Sora Remsberg
